Ha - well then, I can't share links to images until I get to 10 posts so will circle back w/a photo once I can. But picked up yesterday and I am a fan.

Speedmaster was my first major watch purchase and I still have it and love it dearly... and it has definitely spoiled me for <42mm sports watches. Can't really imagine wanting another kind of Rolex than the 126600. Pretty psyched.

Oh, it's a real thing. Just means that over time, the watch feels too heavy and uncomfortable.

I get it ... it's nice to have a little heft on the wrist. (For an SD I mostly wear my 1665 DRSD or 16600).

However, when the watch starts to feel like an anvil, it's a clear sign it ain't for me.

It’s a true professional Rolex , like the Explorer 2, controversial but it has many cult followers. Unlike sub , Daytona or Explorer, SD is not meant for the masses

Great watch!!

Big fan. Love mine SD43. The weight disappears for me after 3 minutes on the wrist. Very balanced and comfortable, my wrist size is 7.5 inches.

I believe the MK1 dial is the SD43 to have. Few years down the road it will be appreciated as the true 50th anniversary Sea-Dweller, similarly to the flat four 16610LV.

It’s a great watch and one of my faves but not for everyone. It’s like wearing a bank vault on your wrist. Solid, purposeful BUT it is big and heavy. If adjusted right it can be very comfortable. Need to take the diving link out and then play with the glide lock.

Sublovin · 28 November 2020, 10:13 PM

Hate the cyclops. I had one and ultimately got rid of it as I much prefer the DSSD. Personal preference

Fan!

I have been wearing this icon of a model for 3 months and it feels as great as when I first purchased it. I am looking forward to wearing it for the whole of 2021 unless I am lucky enough to get a steel Daytona I am waiting for.
Any thoughts of the pros and cons between the SD43 and the “Holy Grail” SS Daytona?

WEST HAM ROLEX · 4 January 2021, 03:21 AM

SD43
It’s my favourite in my collection.

I have 2 GMT, a very old sub ND, and James Cameron also.

Can I suggest try it on.
Before i got mine, was fortunate my mate let me wear his for 2 days to make sure i liked it...

It’s a stunning watch and wears better than my JC

fgress3969 · 4 January 2021, 03:44 AM

i love

good photo, the watch looks really sharp!

rambo99 · 4 January 2021, 04:51 AM

for whom who just purchased it and feel uncomfortable wearing it. my advice is, take out the diver extension and do not wear it too tight. i've been wearing it for 2 years since then and feel very comfortable wearing it all day.

Inq50 · 4 January 2021, 01:00 PM

Among the ones I’ve owned incl.. GMT, Skydweller, HulK, YMII and Daydate 40 SD43 is my best wearing and favorite daily watch the way it feels, looks and wears on the wrist..

Politiceaux · 4 January 2021, 01:24 PM

Love it. It’s my daily. Best diver Rolex makes, IMO.

Will866 · 5 January 2021, 10:10 AM

Love mine.

Ketler · 6 January 2021, 03:48 AM

Had one...Wore it all day everyday for one year...
Sold it and went back to my 16600...

Boaters · 6 January 2021, 06:24 AM

Great piece for sure love mine!

I did same with my SD4K

Ddm1 · 6 January 2021, 07:11 AM

Was love at first sight but can’t get my hand on one, was even told by the local ad that they can’t put my name down for it :(

alphadweller · 6 January 2021, 08:26 AM

The only black diver in production worth buying, IMHO. It's certainly less boring than the rest, to me personally.

Steven1 · 6 January 2021, 08:36 AM

Great watch, I’m considering a rubber strap for mine.

I have had my SD43 for over two years now . Extremely comfortable, beautiful, and robust . Not a Daytona fan , I sold my GMT planning to add Deepsea and SD4K this year .
