Wow! This is so refreshing and maybe a sign of hope for all of us. What an amazing story to add to your watch and eventually tell your children about how lucky you were to get that Rolex during these times.

Congrats OP, I like the SD much more than the Subs. In February of 2020 right before Covid hit I walked into that store. At that time there were still some watches in the case but no visible SS Pro models. The SA asked me if there was anything in particular I was looking for, I mentioned the SD43 and she said sorry none of those right now.
I think you just hit it off right and got the watch. |

Congrats on the SD43! I'm also on the list at the same AD, but had just picked up a TT SD43 2 weeks back. Very underrated watch, imo.

Congratulations!
Another post that debunks the "scarcity" myth perpetuated by the "I have been on the wait list forever and never got anything" crowd.

Some AD's are starting to hedge their bets a little, like any business they are trying to forecast the future, I am not saying walk in and get what you want but a small percentage are just moving them on.
They are like everyone a little worried. Congrats solid. |

For those who have the wrist for a SD43, and you do, it's such a cool, rugged watch. Congrats, OP.

Very nice, major congrats! If you get bored of it, you could sell it for a profit and purchase what you really want (Explorer 2 or CHNR, or so it seems from your initial post)

That’s awesome, congrats!
The only problem with the SD43 is that now you don’t really need any other watches. |
