My Rolex pair

I have what, in my opinion, are the two most desirable Rolex watches out at this time. I recently purchased this GMT, but still am waiting on a couple of extra links to make it more comfortable to wear. Other than that it is very cool. And since I am a Professional Diver again and have been wearing Rolex Subs and Seadwellers for close to forty years the new SD50 is my favorite Rolex ever.

In the background is a Scubapro Bendomatic and their helium filled depth gauge which has a depth range down to 500 feet and is the most accurate gauge ever made. They are mine from the early 1970's.

Completely agree, these are possibly two of the best watches in the Rolex sports lineup right now (with tough competition from the CHNR). Great pair, collection completed!

Nice watches, but I think a white Daytona 116500 or a Skydweller trump these.

Nice pair

However in my humble opinion, I would say Daytona SS ceramic white and the BLRO are "the" pair. But to each its own

I can see SkyD-blue or Daytona SS ceramic black up there as well

As much as I appreciate the SD43, I could never pull it off on my 6.75" wrist. I could barely pull off the 40mm sub. Although lately I miss my sub, and am thinking of starting the hunt for a new 116610LN. But if I could swing any OTHER Rolex, I would grab a Pepsi in a heartbeat.

Is nice to read that a professional diver love the new SD43, is my grail founded and the most handsome diver Rolex ever made. Sorry I'm a fan of the SD.
