Incoming!!! My SD43 finally arrived.

As I mentioned in another post, this Thursday my 50th Anniversary Sea Dweller finally arrived to my AD.

I had placed my order the same day it was presented in Basel, and waited patiently for its arrival.

To me it is the goldilocks size. Not as small as the Sub, but not as chunky as the deep sea. Just perfect!

The balance of the lugs, bracelet and overall look is fantastic.

It was well worth the wait.

And here are the pics:

Congrats acarilles. I just picked one up myself while vacationing in the Caribbean.
It's a great watch and I'm enjoying mine. Congrats again!

It's a great watch indeed. Could easily be someone's one and only watch.

Very nice, and congrats! I may opt for one but I'm waiting until the people hot on the wait list get theirs. It may take awhile!

Lovely watch...congrats... I got to try one on at my AD a few days ago, and I agree - it's the perfect size - not to big and not to small... I like it a lot.

cheers
