Thank you You know what’s funny is that my wife just realized … I’m wearing the same shirt as the day I picked it up in 2017. Maybe I should divert funds to new clothes

I didn't realize it was the same SD you parted with. That's awesome!
I can't blame you as it's a fantastic reference and I've been down that road before. Enjoy in good health!

Thanks buddy Yep it is my original and I’m happy to have it back

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

Huge congrats, my friend! It's a great watch, to be sure.

I've been wondering when you were going to come back to your senses.

I know, I’m usually not so fickle

[GolfJunkie]

Congrats Brian!!

I've had and sold the SD43 twice due to the case back and being unable to get the right fit but yet the watch has been in the back of my mind for the last year or so and I'm very tempted to try it again...

It's a great reference and I hope it sticks around for you this time

Welcome back to the wristbone breaking SD43 club! My favourite diver

I honestly think it will Eric. Maybe third time is the lucky charm for you

Thank you (I think).

Congratulations! I miss my Sea Dweller. I didn’t have the 43 but great watch love the SD line.



Funny someone else mentioned it. I’ve done this with a car as well… sort of (it was my dads and I learned to drive in it). To my wife’s joy there’s an old Jaguar in my driveway now.

They really are unique in the line up

Congrats and very cool to get “your’s” back. Not exactly the same but I had an early SS/Plat Yachtmaster circa 2000. Had to sell it to fund something else but less than a year later was buying another new one. Would have been cool to get my first one back.

Glad to see I’m not alone

I’m truly happy to have it back

[crazycarlitos]

They say if u set it free, and it comes back… it must be true love.

Congrats buddy! It was meant to be. Lol

Wear it tad looser than usual.

Some truth to that saying indeed

Looser you say … I’ve tried every set up imaginable but always figured I have to wear it tighter for comfort. I’m going to try that

[myporsche]

Congratulations ! Don't let go of it this time and no more complaining about the awesome bubble back, enjoy, it's on helluva watch.

I was just about to express a similar thought, but MJ EXPLORER beat me to it! What a classy thing to do, Brian.

Funny enough, even though I don't know anybody on TRF, you, Brandrea, and MJ, are two members whose posts I will always take the time to read. Congrats, again!
