The last SD43TT 126603

After years of passion for divers, my adventure ends here with research but not the passion.
Especially Rolex (many Submariner Deepsea and SD 16600) but also a Ploprof and a fifty fathom over the years .
Watch proposed by AD friend, unexpected, I have never been on the list for any watch.
Thanks to the seller (Errani) and I want to share it here with friends
grazie

I have tried this reference on and it immediately changed my mind onto TT yellow gold.
Great sized watch and looks great on your wrist.
Enjoy.

Congrats! You’ll love it.

It’s the only 18K/SS watch I own. I know many will say why does a Sea-Dweller need to be accented with gold, but that’s one reason why it’s such a fun piece.

Its a beauty; if I was going after an SD that would be the one I'd go after. Congratulations!

I feel very comfortable but I am used to watches ... large massifs (Deepsea Ploprof1200 Submersible)

Thank You Grazie

Thanks Lee , this SD is a worthy crowning achievement for those who love Rolex's helium valves . Sea Dweller deserves a two tone

I didn’t see it in your original post … but I also like your other SeaDweller too! Now you have a great duo

Ciao e grazie mai avrei pensato di trovare un nuovo Sub/SD da AD, e ho colto l'occasione. Ha un certo fascino , è vero

I never thought I'd find a new Sub / SD from AD, and I took the opportunity. It has a certain .... charm, it's true

from the web

Huge congrats on getting the SD43 TT, Gerry. It's a formidable 'statement' piece to be sure. Handsome, rugged, and bombproof! Hope it brings you much enjoyment. Kind regards, -Rick.

Stunning reference, reminiscent of the legenderary record breaking Deep Sea Special from 1953 (3,150 m / 10,350 ft) and 1960 (10,916 m / 35,815 ft), both two-tone models.

Thank you Rick, you are very kind, this SD closes years of research in the world of divers. I'll alternate it with 16600.
And it reminds me a lot of my ex 116613LB the Bluesy that I traded in with Deepsea JC.
Thank you again

That I saw many years ago here in New York ..... with the James Cameron Mission Challenge
Really exciting !!
Thanks







I am fascinated by the history of Submariner then Sea Dweller, and I consider it a privilege to be able to wear one
Thank you
