I have an SD43 and it got most of my daily wear this last year. I agree, it is a nice turn from a glossy dial as the indices pop out more. The subtly pick up the light at a glance, making it easier to tell the time, IMO, since my AD will not change my crystal to a non-glare (my SD43 is a 2017) or anti-reflective. The red gives it that homage to the SD heritage which gives it a bit of character. The slightly larger dimensions of the case and bracelet are noticeable but not overdone compared to the 40mm six-digit slightly older brother. I do not have a 41mm cased Rolex but like you, held them side by side. I have a 7’ wrist and prefer the SD43. Not to mention the robust capabilities of the watch if you ever need something as bomb proof!!!
