I had the SD43, sold it and bought the Black Deepsea. I absolutely love the Deepsea! My wrists are larger than 7 inches and I love the weight! I do love the cyclops on the SD43, might add it to the collection again one day, but wear the Deepsea daily and couldn't be happier! I had also purchased the 41mm Sub, but it looks like a toy on your wrist after wearing the Deepsea, so I sold it. To each his own. Enjoy!
Yeah you can never go wrong with the Deepsea. It’s the biggest, most advanced and best Rolex pound for pound. For example a Daytona and the Deepsea are priced almost the same by Rolex at retail so I think the Deepsea is definitely overlooked a lot.
Love my SD43 with a rubber b strap with red interior accent, I wear it every day, my wrist is big but i knew the deep sea would clang on every doorway I walked through. Something about the green I just couldn’t get on board with as well, to each their own
Be careful w your verbiage. Mk1/2/3 Deepseas refers to the dial changes which all belong to the first gen 116660 and can be looked up. But when you talk about the watch itself with the new changes to the bracelet, well that isn't the Mk2, that is the second generation. 1st gen is 116660 which has Mk1/2/3 dials and the second generation reference 126660 which you have here. New movement, case design, bracelet and clasp. -And as I write this we're on the 3rd gen Mk2 as Rolex removed Sea-Dweller from the dial but still has reference 136660. Love this comparison.
Hi, thank you for the video and the comparison ! Love the SD43. I don't think the one you having in this video is not a 2017 SD43 Mark 1. It's more a SD43 Mark 2 that was produced starting in 2018.
Cool review.....i do have the Deep Sea which I just bought and price is spot on. based on your best judgement, which is a better long term investment watch? Tq
Thanks for the vid! I'm presently in a dilemma between the 2. During my hands on with the deepsea, I noticed that the winding is extremely smooth. Just curious if it's the same with yours too?
I’ll be solving this conundrum by going straight for the Deepsea Challenge on my 7 1/4 inch wrist and making that my daily wearer. Cheers and peace all!
Thanks for the vid. I own both as well and trying to decide if one should be removed from the collection. I also own green cermit. Its cool owning each rolex diver but i think its a bit much.
Thanks for watching! Yeah I do love the submariner, especially with the super case and at 41mm. Thinking next purchase will be the new Pepsi GMT which will probably feel tiny compared to the SD or Deepsea🤣
Ma786sai Dua great review, I want your thoughts if I should buy the current Gen 3 Ref 136660 DeepSea black OR the Gen 2 Ref 126660 black DeepSea? I ask especially as my AD can get me a 136660, but as you know the divers extension has been removed on this. Something I don’t like. Bless you
@@cyrussataravalla6731 I have the 126660 Black Dial DeepSea and love it! I had the divers extension removed when I bought it, sits better on your wrist without it. I believe the bezel is perfect on the 126660, I think they slimmed it down a bit on the 136660. Enjoy whatever you purchase! Cheers!
Not sure how you can comment on wearing the Deepsea or the SD43 as a daily watch when both of these have their stickers on still and so obviously spend their lives as safe queens.
Great video, thanks for posting. I am collecting an SD from an AD in a few weeks. Can you please let me know what protective film you have on your SD and a link if possible. It looks hardly visible. My old Sub picked up a few scratches along the way, inevitable I know. My new SD will be worn every day and I'd like to give it all the protection I can. Thanks.
I think there are a few on the market but the one I use is called RX8. So far been about two weeks on one watch and working great. Hope you enjoy your new watch!
Hey Jim mine also suffered a few scratches but I bout a burgeon stick (I think that's how you spell it lol) buffed the scratches off look good as new👍👍👍
Just bought the SD43 earlier this year but I'm fighting the urge to buy the Deepsea d-blue due to the fact that they look so similar except the fact that the deepsea dial has that blue to black effect but it still makes me feel like in some ways I'm buying the same watch even though in my mind it's not. Any thoughts anyone to help me out here??
Hello, I had the SD43 and actually changed it for the Deepsea. The dial of the Deepsea is just beautiful specially in the sun. In terms of how it wears, I much prefer the Deepsea to the SD 43. I used to get pain on my wrist after wearing the SD43 for a day, and even though the Deepsea is larger, it wears very comfortable. I've been wearing it daily for the past 4 weeks or so
@@arod8046 I haven’t had a issue on how the SD43 wears but my only issue with the D-Blue is that it would make me feel like I’m wearing the same watch but the dial is blue/black , I guess it’s something that just bothers me about getting it.
Deep sea is a bit big , sea dweller is big , submariner is perfect 🤩 for my wrist any way, but if you’ve got a large wrist I should imagine they look great 😊
deepsea is too thick as a daily driver. will make the wrist ache after a few hours with that insane weight!! but still a beauty. The two tone seadweller or submariner is the best daily driver can buy! Omega Seamaster 300m Pro 42mm is also a great choice
I initially thought too big also but after a day or two I barely notice it. Putting on a Daytona or Sub after a few days wearing the deepsea make the others feel like toys 🤣
@@MrNegroni Hahaha. Its crazy how your body and mind adjusts to the bigger watch so easily, and then relatively affects your experience with other watches that are smaller or bigger. I've worn the sub and thought it's bulky, then put a seadweller on and thought it's too light!
Been wearing a deep sea everyday for a month. I have a small wrist. compared to my GMT and YM40 it wears very comfortable and not heavy as people think. The clasp makes it very easy to adjust also
@@christopherbarone3987 ye but it's not just about tight or looseness. It's about weight. I've found watches above 200g become uncomfortable after a few hours, whereas those between 160 to 185g are tolerable and below that even comfier

Two superb watches - but I love my Deepsea - it’s a beast and a real show stopper

Saw one in person the other day and was able to try it on it’s an absolute beast. Hopefully I’ll be able to own one someday
How could you do this video without trying them on and showing us a wrist shot?
I have both, they are incredible, but definitely the sd43 is "more usable" especially because of the noticeable difference in height.
Does it bother you with the fact that they both are kinda similar in some ways?? I guess that’s the issue I’m having about buying it.

Deepsea black face is the one boys trust me, get in the gym and grow your forearms if you’re too skinny to wear it. No excuses
Hell yes!
Hahaha, man you couldn’t have said it any better. Whatever wrist size you’ve get the Deepsea and rock that thing.
That dial is one of a kind. There’s no other dial like it.
Yup I love it!
can you put a link to where you got the protective film for the seasweller?
It would have been great to show us each one on your wrist to see how they look. Thks for the video.
My wrist is not big enough for the Deepsea. So I got the SD43 for my 7.2 inch wrist, as an upgrade from my 116610LN Sub. It’s a terrific watch.
Yeah you can’t go wrong with the SD43 and I think it’s what most people would choose.
Hi, thank you for the video and the comparison ! Love the SD43.
I don't think the one you having in this video is not a 2017 SD43 Mark 1. It's more a SD43 Mark 2 that was produced starting in 2018.
I have owned both and loved both... Deepsea is gone now.. SD43 is a better everyday daily.. DeepSea is beautiful but just way too top heavy
Cool review.....i do have the Deep Sea which I just bought and price is spot on. based on your best judgement, which is a better long term investment watch? Tq
Thanks for the vid! I'm presently in a dilemma between the 2. During my hands on with the deepsea, I noticed that the winding is extremely smooth. Just curious if it's the same with yours too?

Just bought SD 43 2018 ( Mark 2 ) $ 13.655 in Indonesia, Iam Happy with that ...
Very nice! Congrats!😁
Great choices. I have both as well. Cheers mate
You can’t go wrong with either but if you going to go for something more capable than a submariner I say go hard and get the deep sea
Thanks for the vid. I own both as well and trying to decide if one should be removed from the collection. I also own green cermit. Its cool owning each rolex diver but i think its a bit much.
Did u mention u had protection film on ur SD43?
Nice review, as usual. Beautiful watches but too big for my 6”5 wrist. Classic Submariner is a sweet spot for me.
Thanks for watching! Yeah I do love the submariner, especially with the super case and at 41mm. Thinking next purchase will be the new Pepsi GMT which will probably feel tiny compared to the SD or Deepsea🤣

Gorgeous watches I have the James Cameron in my small collection 🤩
Why no wrist shots?
Hi which one is a better investment? 126660 blue or the other one? Thank you
7:18 my broke ass: "oh only $20k grey market? Cool cool yeah definitely, I'll keep that one in mind."
I think he’s talking about Singapore dollars….Still expensive though….
Did you manage to get both from an AD?!
Is the band on the deep sea larger ? I have large wrist and my SD -43 is almost let all the way out
I own an Omega 45MM XL Planet Ocean and it is heavier than the DSSD the DSSD is very comfortable I do have a 8" wrist though.
wrist shot comparison woulda been nice
The SD43 is more wearable than the Deepsea.
126600 Rolex really made the Submariner killer
Haha. Thanks for watching!
Quick question. Could someone confirm if the SD43 would need extra links for a 24cm wrist. Thanks in advance
Where did you get the green leather pouch?
Leather pouch was a Rolex freebie. They usually give random free stuff like a book, gloves, pen or travel pouch or something similar.
@@MrNegroni not at my AD lol
I want the SD 43 but I don't want to pay over retail
Same as everyone wants then 🤣
@@MrNegroni I know, you're right

How could you not put them on your wrists in this entire video so we could see how they look? Fail.
you're missing the point, why someone buys a deepsea...diving. thats where the biggest difference is.
Nice watch
Why don't you move them over so we can see them equally instead of one all the way to the right Britt.
Yeah I should work on editing and camera angles a bit more😁
SD all day
Yup love it! I wonder if any will be discontinued in 2022🤷♂️
I have the two tone and James Cameron but I really want 43mm red text now.. I will not buy sub ever!!

Hold the watches still next time
Two beauties, submariner who?lol

There both nice watches I'm thinking of selling my Rolex Deepsea black dial and buy a submariner a smaller watch to fit my wrist a little better
Oh lord it’s just a fucking watch
Hahaha yep🤣
I'm sick of watches
