Need a quartz/solar beater. Want one on a rubber strap. Tried the SBBN035 and I liked it. Liked the all black look and the strap was very comfortable. However, I really don't need 300 meters of WR, and I would not mind a slightly smaller watch. The new solar SBDN023 looks cool. These are part of the "lower case" designed divers. Other than the SBDN029 which is all black and is only available from Freeman's Sporting Goods (and appears to be all sold out), I think I prefer this model over all of the others in this "lower case" series. It looks like the shroud on the SBDN023 is plastic. And, I can't tell whether the strap is the same comfortable strap on the SBBN035. Interested in feedback. The SBDN023 won't be available for sale for about another two weeks, but would get some input on this. BTW, the SBB035 is around $1K give or take, and the SBDN023 is around $400 give or take.
Thanks.
Thanks.
