Recently took an interest in the SD43, so called a few local ADs in CA and one of them had just gotten a shipment with one in and it was unspoken for. Sent the wire same day and it was on my wrist the next week. Shipped it out of state to nix the tax.

I really do love it. I initially thought it was too big but now I think it's just right. Somehow, even being larger and heavier than my subs/GMT, it is more comfortable. I think it's the wider bracelet.

I sold my BLNR and took one in for my pops, but turns out he doesn't want it/want to pay for it, so I think I'm just gonna keep it. Collection is now: 15400, LB TT, LV, BLNR and this SD43.

Lucky find! I live in CA (Los Angeles) and never got a call back from any of the four dealers I contacted. I picked mine up from an AD in Boston. Enjoy in good health.

Thank you! I'm glad you found one. I called one in the middle of nowhere...all the LA dealers are sold out for years. Their client base is too big here

Congrats!!

If you don’t mind sharing, which city in Cali is in the “middle of nowhere”? :-)

Fresno or Bakersfield? It’s the same AD at both locations I believe.

Congrats - fits you nicely! I just got one last week and was concerned about the size initially, but you get used to it It is also very comfortable but does take a few days to get used to the weight.

Beautiful SD43, looks great! I’m also curious, which “middle of nowhere” AD did you reach out to?
