They have arrived....SD43 in hand

Great watch. Love it...wore my 116600 so I can have a changing of the guards, but I need it sized.

Quick question on this movement..its a reverse motion from all my others. An upward wind sets the time back and a downward wind moves time forward... that's new to me

Pick of 116600 also

Very nice! I have 8" wrists also, so it's a great example of what I can expect! Hoping mine arrives this weekend!

Cheers,

Joe

Nice!!!

I feel like these two can be compared to Fifty Fathom series in term of size.

SD4K 40mm: Bathyscape
SD 43mm: Fifty Fathom

The 126600 looks more technical. Somehow it looks more modern.

Double congratulations Paul.

I'll have to look at my movement, hadn't noticed the time setting functions being different.
