Beast vs SD 43

[Daytonaman799]

Is the beast very much bigger than a Rolex SD 43. If any of you have both what are the differences between the two?

I have both. Both are big and heavy.

Frankly I never wear the SD43. Thinking about putting a Rubber B on it.

I put a rubber strap on the Beast and now wear it all the time. Not the greatest pic, but gives you the idea.

That beast looks awesome WillyJo. This watch is a goal of mine, glad to see yours looks well worn. I have recently got my first AP offshore and not enough knocks on mine to look cool yet

The SD sits better on my wrist
The beast is a bit top heavy
That said I’d take the beast all day long over the SD

Go titanium beast!

No, they wear quite similar when it comes to the watch head, the SD 43 feels a bit flatter, and the rubber on the ROO billows out a bit more than the Oyster of the SD, at least on my wrist. But both very comfortable watches for a larger wrist like mine (my ROO is on a rubber band, I don’t know how it wears on metal).

Nice, for me it’s kind of the opposite. The SD is a watch I wear quite routinely, whereas my ROO only comes out on occasion.

Thanks for posting the picture … I didn’t know what a “beast” was

I have only tried the SD43 briefly, but it didn't strike as fundamentally different than e.g. my BLNR (bigger, but same category). Beast is on a different level in terms of wrist presence:
