As much as I do love the new SD43, I think a red second hand would of really made it pop.
Would anybody else liked to have seen that???
Can anybody Photoshop it?

arizonapaul · 30 March 2017, 12:42 AM

It would of looked awesome, like this kind of..

japenney · 30 March 2017, 12:56 AM

No thank you.

Phudu · 30 March 2017, 01:34 AM

Too much Red.

rloke · 30 March 2017, 02:58 AM

IIRC, red would be less visible when underwater. So that may not be too practical for a dive watch.

esscaster · 30 March 2017, 03:03 AM

Why not, I mean the cyclops and the big case size are already such a far departure what's another zany unexpected thing.

AK797 · 30 March 2017, 03:34 AM

Too much red on black is a bit demonic.

So many against the red second hand. This is the watch I was hoping would come out this year, to no avail, but I think the red second hand along with the red lettering really makes this look sharp. I might actually have a red second hand put on the SD43 when I am lucky enough to get it.

arizonapaul · 13 May 2017, 09:07 PM

MMMM second go around, now that I have the SD43, I am really considering it now...
No biggie as far as a mod, can always changed back to original.. Any idea of cost and if a local AD would even do this service..

Totally agree I love red against the black

brandrea · 13 May 2017, 09:22 PM

I think you'd have to look into having someone like Vanessa or an independent watch maker make this happen.

Then again, I'm not sure how many aftermarket date wheels exist for the 3235 movement

arizonapaul · 13 May 2017, 09:27 PM

I just want the second hand, no date wheel

I always thought the RED Seconds hand was cool. Surprising Rolex does not do it more often for special models as a limited run. Heck, they don't even have to say it's limited, just do it and stop. Just like the rumor of the RED Text going away after 1 year, and changing to WHITE.

Sorry Paul ... Coffee is just kicking

ejvette · 13 May 2017, 09:39 PM

Rolex service certainly won't make that change but LA watchworks would definitely do it you just need to supply the second hand

So would this void the warranty... if so, it's a deal breaker...

Your just changing the second hand if you needed warranty work it's an easy swap back to the original

If I'm not mistaken, anytime you let anyone other than rsc open the watch, the warranty is void.

That said, you could easily have an independent switch is back prior to any needed Rolex service.

They would probably drag you outside, nail you to a tree and set fire to you !!!...they really don't take to kindly to people altering "their" watches (even though you paid your hard earned cash for it)... you should have seen the look on their faces when I dared to ask (at my RSC) if I could get a red GMT hand fitted to my BLNR... if looks could kill...
Good luck with it, I think the red second hand looks great.

cheers

I think it looks great !

The red hand removes the "rest home" factor from the watch ....... a bit of flair but tasteful.

watchwatcher · 13 May 2017, 11:06 PM

TBH, the red seconds hand doesn't pop against the black background IRL as much as it does in the pictures...that's my experience, anyway. I had a Daytona with the so-called PN dial and red chronograph hand...beautiful watch but the chrono hand never really grabbed my attention as it does in photos.

So, bottom line for me would be, do you get the bang for your buck. Probably not, IMO, but it's your watch and easily reversible, as others have pointed out. Just my two cents.

c41006 · 13 May 2017, 11:11 PM

I would say no on the red second hand

On the other hand, think it could work. I really liked the red on the SD43 when I wore it.

That's pretty close to be my dream watch! I was as well disappointed, hopefully soon!!

Would look sweet, why not!

I had Vanessa install my red hand and date wheel.

Not liking the idea....I like the way it is with the single red line now.

DramaTurtle · 14 May 2017, 11:14 AM

Oh shoooot, that's a crazy mod! I sort of want a red date wheel on my 16610 now...

I agree, a red second hand on the new SD would be interesting for sure.
