Good eyes guys. A Cannondale SystemSix that is old but gold.
Still riding like a charm and one of my favorites.

Thanks yes still on the so called list, opened up to 3 options ie Sub date, non date or SD43 (now first choice) very hard to get any SS from UK AD’s.

Sizing?

First off, congratulations on the milestone ~ I have a similar event occurring soon!

I have a 116610lv and I am curious how much more substantial this model wears... Any comments/photo comparison appreciated!

Thank you for the wishes.
The difference between the SD43 and almost all SS Rolex 40mm is in the presence this reference shows on the wrist. This presence, in my opinion is caused more by the extra bracelet wrist than the extra case size.
The case being not a super case actually makes the watch wears smaller than 43.
Again, the presence of this watch on the wrist is second to none.
