My thoughts recently is I would like to try another yellow gold Rolex for a little fun. I owned the 116618lb and it was great (I have even considered looking for another). However, truth be told I want something a little bigger. My wrist is only 7 inches but I guess the 40mm case just feels a little small recently - I have been wearing a lot of AP 41 and 42mm recently so that makes sense.

I think a SD43 in YG/WG or even platinum would be an amazing edition to the Rolex lineup. There is no 42-43mm sports model in the Rolex line in PM (only the YM at 44mm). Seems like it wiould fill a GAP (I am considering the skyD as a dressier watch like the DD40).

what do you think?

I would be in line for a PM exp2 or SD43. If they put a ceramic bezel on the PM daytona on bracelet I might also be tempted. The daytona wears a bit small but the ceramic makes it pop a bit more.

PCLs (as is default with PM) on a SD43? No thanks!

To me, she's beautiful and majestic as is. I'll let the pictures do the talking:

Have never liked gold so no
Even if priced the same would wear SS

Danny83 · 4 March 2018, 11:15 AM

Yes!

Spartan1 · 4 March 2018, 11:17 AM

Nope! It’s just right as it is!

Rrpdc · 4 March 2018, 11:21 AM

Nope. Would be way to heavy. Perfect as is.

japenney · 4 March 2018, 11:22 AM

Okay. No voting no because you are a gold hater and prefer SS haha. That is defeating the purpose of the post lol. I feel like there is a gap in the PM sports model line. Nothing in 41-43mm in a gold sports model. Do you agree? How would you suggest filling the gap?

I love gold and have a wg Daytona. Sd43 would be ridiculously heavy in gold or plat.

datejust24 · 4 March 2018, 11:26 AM

No but I would if it were in all SS and 40mm without a cyclops!!

fishingbear · 4 March 2018, 11:26 AM

No.

But I love the 126600!

YG YM2

And yes I’d buy a PM Seadweller

CDNWatchNut · 4 March 2018, 12:46 PM

I wouldn't...its too heavy of a watch in SS already IMO.

Mystro · 4 March 2018, 12:55 PM

The demographics of sales for the extreme dive watches are small enough. They have not or ever been a mainstream watch in the Rolex big picture. PM a extreme dive watch wouldn’t make $$$ sense for Rolex to bother with.

Justinmg · 4 March 2018, 12:57 PM

Why not, Rolex already ruined the heritage of the SD

Chewbacca · 4 March 2018, 12:59 PM

josh,

i think it would be a heavy monster.

but i would like to see you buy one if it existed.

thomaswentworth · 4 March 2018, 01:28 PM

I would like to just find one in steel first. I don't think I could do it in gold. Gold gets scratched up and blemished so quickly.

WOW! These are definitely the nicest pictures I've seen of this watch.

MickCollins1916 · 4 March 2018, 02:12 PM

I like gold enough, but the SD43 is fairly heavy in SD. I don’t think that model - one of my favorites I own - would work for me in gold.

brandrea · 4 March 2018, 02:27 PM

I doubt they’d ever make a SD in PM.

seadweller43 · 4 March 2018, 07:06 PM

gold case might not withstand so much pressure as
stainless steel are capable of.

Art 1 · 4 March 2018, 07:48 PM

No.
