Got the call last month, picked it up today. 126600 SD43 Content
As the title says, I got the call last month after being on the wait list for exactly 365 days. Last April I got on the wait list for a SD43. I fell in love with the new 'single red' design when I saw it back in 2017 as I really like the modern designs that have vintage inspired touches. I also decided to have the case back engraved as I was selected for a major promotion at work last fall. I know engraving is somewhat controversial but I don't ever plan on parting with this watch (and the promotion is my justification for the present to myself and I wanted to commemorate that, haha). I love the way the SD43 sits even though my wrist is on the small side at 6.5", although it's more like 7" between the wrist bone and my hand (where I typically wear my watch). The weight and size isn't bothersome at all and doesn't feel significantly different from my Explorer II that I have worn daily for years. Thanks for looking!

Congratulations. Engraving looks great. Since you have an Explorer and the SD43, does the SD43 wear smaller?

It looks great on your wrist! I have the same watch and my wrist is a little smaller than your (but it looks good and is very comfortable) great engraving! |
