43mm SD or BLNR
Hey everyone!
I currently own a BLNR. Would anyone sell their BLNR to get the 43mm SD? My AD just got one and has got me thinking... Would appreciate your thoughts! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’m used to the slimmer profile of the BLNR. However if I could get a glidelock bracelet, I’d have the best of both worlds. BCL, glidelock, trip crown.....plus it’s quite rare people will go diving so deep with their watches, so 100m WR is enough. IMO.

Not for me, the SD43 wears 25% thicker on my rather tiny wrist.

I wouldn't not sell a BLNR for the SD. IMHO, the BLNR is still the best looking SS GMT in production. I, as others have already stated, would own both.

No. I want to add a SD43 to my BLNR. The SD43 will be my causal watch. I don’t think I’d ever sell my BLNR, it’s the best ceramic GMT imo, even better looking than the new Pepsi. I would save up and add the SD43, it’s going to be in production for a while most likely so you have time to get one.

Go try on the SD43 and the answer will be on your wrist. I would, as the Rolex Divers are my favorites and the SD43 is my all time favorite.

Try on SD43. You will likely immediately see the appeal and why those that own it are so fond of it. In short, yes.

Need to know wrist size to answer the question. If 7" or above, go for it!

Absolutely would sell the BLNR. I did. Too blingy, no glidelock, pcl's that scratch.
It's a great watch but not for me. The SD43 to me is perfect. |

I tried an SD43 on, but too big for me unfortunately.
Definitely try it on before coming to a decision, and I would keep the BLNR! |

Nope, BLNR is way too beautiful overall, for me...
