The SD just blew the Sub away. The more symmetrical bezel graphic, the splash of red on the dial, & its sheer size & wrist presence - it felt like the Sub was cowering in its shadow….

Ok, I’ll caveat the above by saying you do need a big enough wrist for that reference, and as it happens, I do.

Shouldn’t be too hard to get hold of either….
Good luck in getting your SD, below a picture of my own personal working tool watch 16600 SD,it was used and many times abused for many years underwater as a real working tool, with well over 600 hours underwater. Expect this working tool watch has seen more use that todays mainly pampered watches will see in ten lifetimes, all the SD range great watches but my favourite is still the 16600 SD.
