Wow, fantastic photos! Some of the best I've seen yet.

You know those pics with the DSSD really point out how small the bracelet looks on the DSSD. They need to re-work the DSSD so it can take the SD43 bracelet.

Anyway, congrats! Looks great

Congrats!
Your 6.5" wrist wears it well, modern look.
Hopefully my equally 6.5" wrist will someday don one as well.
Enjoy!

On a side note I've only just noted the 126600 doesn't have a raised crystal.

It still have raised crystal albeit much less than previous SD. Maybe due to bigger and sloped bezel (from DSSD?).

That's a good thing the Crystal is not as proud.
I always thought it would be a chip magnet despite the chamfer.

The pictures do give the appearance of a fully raised crystal but this profile pic does show the difference.

Am I right in thinking that the new SD4 clasp is wider than that of the DSSD and indeed the bracelet is also wider?
