SD43 is mine now....

I personalized my Sea Dweller 4000 by having the case back laser engraved with my Minus4Plus6.com website logo engraved in the back.


With my SD43, I had a laser engraving done that is a “little” more visible.... With the slightly wider links, I thought the logo would fit with enough white space for it to be proportional yet visible.

Very very cool! And I've learned a ton on your website, lots of great info. I was thinking of engraving my SD4k once I get married next year. I'm going along the lines of putting "not for sale" a la kristian haagen lol

Can just see this going on auction at Christie’s one day for $100,000. Just have to wait long enough for the mysterious history to write itself! :)

The quality of the engraving is very impressive!

I understand your website but it really devalues the perfection of a Rolex which is +/-2 seconds. I would have advertised on a lesser watch.

Love it Sheldon. Well done!

Wish we could meet up at Fourtanes someday but I’m guessing Covid will push out the meet up in August.

Looks great! As a watch blog owner and Rolex enthusiast I'm not sure I'd have the guts to pull this one off myself, but it's definitely cool to see.

Looks a neat job but not lining up horizontally with the two coronets would drive me crazy.
