Anyone here regret SDC4000 purchase?

It doesn't wear as thick as the specs. The case back sinks into the wrist which to the eye makes the case side profile much thinner than the specs suggest.

The 1mm top hat crystal adds depth to both the side profile and when you look straight on. One of the sweetest characteristics is at night.. The lume reflects off the sides of the crystal... Very cool.

If you like the slimmer style of the old sub cases you will feel more at home with the SDC.

The dial is perfection. I thought I wanted a more matte dial but really the satin look fits the shiny ceramic bezel perfectly. The dial can change from a grey to brown to a deep black. The crystal reflections makes the dial give off a glossy look at times.

Then there's the HEV that breaks up the side casing giving it just another characteristic exclusive to the sea dwellers in the Rolex line.

The graduated bezel is what sealed it for me.. I've been wanting a Rolex with this kind of bezel since I ever laid eyes on a 5517. This is the first modern Rolex with WG hour markers that did it for me.

The SDC has characteristics I enjoyed about owning vintage subs but everything is upgraded to modern technology.

I love this watch. It's a keeper.
