A matter of opinion- SD43

I know this is just my opinion but coming from having Omega, Grand Seiko and Zenith the SD43 is the perfect watch. The size, bracelet, dial, height are spot on. Always liked my father's SS and gold Submariner but thought it was a little small- same with my friends 30 year old Sea Dweller. Was really shocked at how good it looks in person.

Totally agree . I was on board the minute It came out. I think a lot of people that initially didn't like it Will have a change of opinion. I'm patiently waiting on mine

The SD43 made me a one watch man. None compare imo. Perfection.

Yeah, I can totally see why people love it.

Personally, for me, I think it's too big as I love watches in the 36-40mm range and my 114060 is as big as I'd want to go. I found the Black Bay too large for my taste. But I haven't had a chance to actually try on an SD43 yet.

I'd consider one if they dropped the red text. Just my preference, more timeless.

I like more svelte watches.my BLNR is as thick as I like. It's great that Rolex provides so many great choices.

In a lot of these pics the dial looks matte... maybe it's time I get a pair of glasses. Lol

I can go with larger cases than dials personally. I was surprised how large my 214270 wears compared to watches with larger cases and smaller dial diameters. I would like to try one of these on but am staying away for the safety of my wallet
