New SD43 50th Anniversary plus bonus!

I am probably one of the luckiest guys on here!! As you all know it is my Birthday today and I picked up my new SD43 and also received a very special gift from my AD, a 50th Anniversary SD Paper Weight. I feel very lucky and was gob smacked. I was also taken out by my lovely wife for a SPA day and afternoon tea. Please enjoy the photos.

Wow Lee. That is mega cool. Congrats on a fine watch that looks great on you (I envy your huge wrist heh). Here's to another year in good health with your new watch, happy birthday.

Congrats Lee and Happy Birthday!!

I am curious as to what the last two pics are? Does the new SD50 come in a special commemorative box?

This is why a 43mm SD was needed. Looks fab on the plus size wrist...
