My AD finally got one in and I tried it on. My daily is an SD43. There’s just no way I could pull this off..

My buddy just got one, it’s way too big for me. But looks great on him. It’s not that top down view that’s bad, it looks big but still pretty good. It’s the side view when you see what looks like an inch of steel popping off the wrist.

Think of the time you save not needing to go to the gym.

Yes, I thought I had a picture of the profile on my wrist but I don’t. It’s just ridiculously thick. I thought the DSSD was too much, thus I have the SD43, the Challenge is comical.

It's a massive watch, but I've wondered how it compares to the larger Panerai 47mm divers side by side. Congrats, from an engineering standpoint it's an amazing watch.

I could never pull this off.

Interesting that's where you got your allocation from given where you're located! I was in Preston's just last week browsing but they aren't interested in me as a customer which is fine. I tend to use Lister Horsfall.

Not been in Whitelocks in years!
I have been a customer for some time prior to moving location, only recently. Also purchased watches from Lister Horsfall in Ilkley, and Halifax Both companies have been good to deal with.
I don’t think there are many DSC’s about in the uk, and when I purchased mine they had only sold one previously, and I believe one since.

Thanks Roy. Yes Nick and his team have looked after me and my family for a good few years. We live out that way. Just had an invite from them yesterday as they sponsor the ilkley cycle races. Have a great weekend.
