126600 red sd43 sea dweller weight in grams please?
Could some who owns one please post or pm me the weight in grams.
I sold my dssd basically because it was too bulky and both local ads don't have a sd43 in stock so I will have to go trf to order and don't want it too bulky without test fitting first. My current daily wearer is about the same size but comes in about 155 grams and it very comfortable. the dssd was too heavy for me so I appreciate the help. |

Thanks! I think the dssd was around 216g as I recall. did you ever wear one of them? hoping for feedback from someone who has first hand compared the two.
personally would love a 42mm sub but I know that's never happening. my darn 8 inch wrists are just too large for the 40mm cases. |

IMO, it wears better than the DSSD. More balanced would maybe be a better term. I flipped my DSSD after I got the SD, because I just didn't think I would be wearing it anymore.
I really like the widened bracelet, too. |

DSSD has some serious heft, I got mine a little over a week ago, starting to get used to it, at first you really felt it.

I own both references and like each for different reasons.
YES the SD43 wears better in terms of comfort (less top heavy and thinner profile). The weight is not an issue for me as I appreciate the heft of the Dblue. The thinner bracelet doesn't bother me either and actually fund it to be quite comfortable overall. I think if you're going from a DSSD to a SD43 you'll notice quite a difference. For reference here they both are on my 7" wrist Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk |

I have only worn a friends DSSD once--- but can tell you my SD43 wears considerably lighter and thinner--- to me anyway. BTW- I have 8.25" wrist and feel like this is the perfect watch for me.

Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. I'm just leary to buy sight unseen without trying on as I did this with the dssd and for a daily it was too top heavy for me and I don't want to repeat that experience! Problem is so Ads near me have one in stock and will not for some time either so I have no point of reference.
By contrast I also owned a sub before the dssd and it felt so small and light on my wrist. I liked the lightness of that watch....again just too small for me at 40mm. Do any of you also own a sub and can make a comparison of the sd43 to the 40mm sub in terms of daily comfort? |

Just switched out my SD43 for a Lvc in the rotation. There is, of course, some size/weight difference, but both are comfortable daily wearers, IMO.
