<<< incoming ... again >>>
Well I know what you're all going to say ... that Brian, nice guy but he's a walking contradiction...
He said it was uncomfortable and he couldn't get the perfect fit due to the caseback design. He had to sell it; it became unbearable ... blah blah blah. Yes it's true, I did say that but I also sang its praises which are many and in my mind they outweigh the fit issue.  Anyway, when the chance came to buy back my original, I pounced. I'm sentimental and besides I already convinced myself that I needed another rotation watch Its not like I'm the only one on TRF to go back to same well right?  So here she is ... my May 4, 2017 S43, back on my wrist. I missed you! Now someone shoot me if I ever complain about the caseback comfort Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk |

Don’t feel bad Brian, it happens to the best of us! I’m on my 3rd time around with my Cartier, I swear this time I’m keeping it
 Fits you like a glove

Congratulations! Nice to go back to it, and I remember you saying an old Sea-Dweller was also your first watch, so there’s a great personal history here. I think this one might be my favourite Rolex.

Homecoming!
I wouldn't pass one up myself again. Wore one the day my son was born and experienced similar annoyance however it is a beautiful and bad ass watch. The Mariner. Congrats!

Congrats Brian! Having taken a 360 turn means you can feel certain the things you enjoy about it more than outweigh any drawbacks. The bonus is you were able to buy your original piece back! Wear it in great health.

We can definitely relate. Congratulations getting it back.
….and in my opinion, it’s the absolute best diver watch on the planet. |
