If I had to choose between the two I’d get the SSC911. That is only because I had the SSC813 and sold it.
Even though I have a puny wrist I found the 813 too small especially the lower sub dial with the unnecessary F/E gauge. That wasn’t the reason I let it go though. For a panda I disliked the purple hue of the sub dials (even though I like that it was solar). I also disliked the useless 24hr sub dial and the (IMHU) dreadful date window. I tried it on a strap which to me improved the watch as the end link integration onto the case of the bracelet was poor.
As I said I ended up selling it and replacing it with a Certina DS-2 presidrive. Clearly not a panda but IMHO a better watch in every aspect apart from not being solar.
I had a sector pilot which I only sold to part fund another watch. The blue dial sector deep is without doubt a watch I’m likely to buy next year.
The blue dial with red accents without the bund looks great and certainly changes the look of the 417 considerably.
