Even though it’s only a 1mm difference, the original dssd bracelet is more comfortable, especially if you have a bigger wrist (7 7/8 here). The gradient on the dial is also more 50/50. The gen2 seems to fade to black lower on the dial. I’d go for a gen1 dblue.

I guess if you already have an an 114060, the 126660 D-blue is much more different to the sub than the SD4K, so it would make more sense.

I just recently purchased, but have not yet picked up a D-blue, so I haven’t really had the chance to have it on my wrist for long enough to really bond with it. At this moment, I prefer the SD4K.

If I had to get rid of all but 3 of my watches I’d keep my SD4K, my ceramic white Daytona and either my ceramic BLRO or GMT LN. Trying to trim even further would be very difficult, but the SD4K would have a good chance of being my only watch if I was forced to chose.

Investment considerations play no part in my commentary above.

Further to the above. My current thought is the D-Blue is too big to be my only watch or one of my top three. I will be wearing mine for the next two weeks on vacation, so I may have a different opinion when I get back

The SD4K is a dull reference in comparison to the JC2.

Agree. No comparison to me in interest.

Guess someone has the SD4K?

The OP asked between the SD4K and JC2. Not quite sure where the YM2 came into it.

Since we're bashing watches that other people love, thought I'd join in.
