Congrats Mike on your magnificent timepiece acquisition, and wear it in good health.
I personally have a hard time wearing my other Rolex watches, something about getting use to the size compared to the SDDS. |

Well done, Mike.
I've always admired the engineering and quality of that watch from the very first day I laid eyes on it. How many links did you have to take off, Mike, to get a perfect fit? Does the same screwdriver that comes with the SD 4000 fit those screws? Cheers - JJ

What is really slick about it is the ability to set it anywhere you want....no micro holes or anything. A perfect fit is so easy to get. LOL! I embarrased to say I never even checked yet if the SD screwdriver will work. (looks like it though). With the extention in place and the adjustment in the glidelock it looks to be able to fit over a snowsuit, much less a diver's suit.

The watch looks terrific.....absolutely superb. The thickness could be a deterrent to some, but the 43 mm diameter would be perfect for my 7½" wrist!! JJ

Great review and pics Mike, thanks for sharing
I've heard of other owners removing the dive extension - sounds like the way to go. And who knows what that Glidelock hangtag will be worth in the future? Reminded me of the old Triplock hangtags, which now make funny money... (not my pics) Congrats & cheers

Congrats on the DSSD, Mike!
Great review as well. looks good on your wrist. Had the pleasure of wearing Marke's while in London. Huge at first but quickly became manageable, but still huge. dP

Great Review, Mike. I have worn mine daily for 2 months and agree 100% with your observations. Most comfortable watch I have ever owned.
