Incoming SD43

I asked you all before which watch I should get between the submariner date and SD43. I ended up buying the submariner date. All this time I couldn’t shake the thought of the SD43 fitting on my 7.25 inch wrist better. I took the plunge and found an MK1 dial and pulled the trigger while imo the prices are reasonable. Thanks for all the advice guys.

Congratulations

2 of the best dive watches imho.

Just need a JC DBlue now to complete the trio.

You would definitely be able to carry the JC looking how well the SD43 fits

Thank you. Up close it does and In pictures it looks great. But when I look down it’s small. The SD43 is a perfect fit for me. I just need to get used to the weight and height. But overall it’s great.

Did you get the mk1 or did you get it new and the mk2. I see advance to both. I grabbed the mk1 because the price was about the same for a newer mk2. In the long run it might be something or it might be nothing. Big advantage of the mk2 is my name would have been on the card.

Thanks doc! Got it from a TS Takuya. He just posted it and I bought it right away. Full set. Very pleased. It was worth the extra cost then to buy from jaztime after that fiasco.

Nice! I have a similar size wrist, yet probably rounder than yours. It would not look this good on me
