I travel for work constantly and will pop into an AD if it’s convenient when on the road. I had about 30 min to kill before a meeting so I stopped into an AD I stumbled upon on my way. They had this guy there. I absolutely love the red text but had never had a chance to try one on. I just didn’t have time to decide if I felt it was too big so I just went ahead and bought it and had it shipped to my house since I was in such a scramble. Just dropped 11k and now all I have to show for it is a receipt and a crappy picture I haphazardly took before I had to run out. I guess this goes to show that with the sport model shortage you unfortunately don’t have the luxury of “let me think about it” and now it’s when in doubt buy buy buy!! The angle I took this picture makes my 6.75 in wrist look exceptionally small so tough to judge. I’ll post proper pics once I can.

Yea that was my thought. I bought a CHNR as my daily but I had been flirting with the idea of a new sub or SD for a more rugged situational option. I have seen subs here and there but still infrequently and hadn’t seen a SD43 until this one.

I have a 6.75 wrist also, and I would definitely appreciate more pictures once you get the watch, especially ones where we can see your whole arm. I want to believe I can pull off the SD43.

Congrats

In the same boat here.

Congrats on the purchase, OP! Looking forward to more pics. I bet you went into that meeting after the AD visit with quite the adrenaline rush!

I’m happy to give a heads up to people I know are looking for something specific but I don’t typically like to mass blast out pieces that are available.
