Overall paid premium with trade value. Imho, not going to wait for allocation to occur. Just one approach for sure.

Even with AD relationship at mercy of supply. My situation was a bit different because cash outlay was palatable due to trade. But honestly the reduction in supply is bs. With the 126660, I decided the waiting game was for the birds. However, waitedit outwith SD43

It all depends on what you want...if you want the D-blue, then by all means don't get the black one just b/c it's available now...

Yes, they widened the bracelet to 22mm and improved the movement.

Adding to what Tebow said, there is also a newer movement and slightly different font for ring lock, pip is also more recessed!

Love my 126660 d-blue I would wait for blue.

I will put a plug in for the SD43 it’s amazing and I love the size.

They go well together!

I would wait, maybe you could get the one you want or possibly a Daytona for the same money if you put some time in.
