SD43 incoming sooner than expected.

Managed to get on a waiting list with local AD a year ago, with an expected 2 year wait. Pleasantly surprised to get the call last week that an SD43 was available. The AD has been superb throughout and made a Covid compliant home delivery on Monday. Spending history is quite modest (wife’s OP last year) and a couple of Rolex services), but we have been customers for many years. The AD is a long-standing family business which - I get the impression- avoids ‘AD-games’. Looking forward to travelling with this watch when things improve. First impressions are that it is one of the most well-proportioned watches I’ve ever seen. And I’m loving the weight and feel of the watch and just how tactile the bezel is.

Great watch. Tough to be on a wait list even for a year but it makes it’s arrival all the more special! Congrats...

I’ll quote you “First impressions are that it is one of the most well-proportioned watches I’ve ever seen. And I’m loving the weight and feel of the watch and just how tactile the bezel is” for what is exactly how I think if this reference. Better than this is impossible.
