For what it’s worth….

For anyone looking to get a Rolex, I just got called for a SD43 after inquiring a week ago. So if that means supply and the market is better now for Rolex then more power to us. For reference, I’ve had multiple purchases from the AD before but I haven’t purchased anything for the past two years or so so they had me fill out the card with all my life info and all that.

This one is a little bit thicker than a sub but not by much. It’s totally doable for daily wear unless you wrist is really really tiny. The sea dweller that is really thick is the deepsea. You could also pull off the deepsea everyday but that thing is heavy!

Congrats!! I also got an sd43 about a week ago. I Was originally told that it would be early next year, got the call after only 2 weeks. I was very excited and shocked to get that call

I absolutely love the watch. I’m on the list for a batgirl next, expect a little longer wait though ��

Very cool watch with a strong presence! Years ago I expressed my interest to a stranger's AD but never got a response. Anyway, I got my Submariner Date two days ago and I'm very happy too.

Have fun wearing it!

Thank you again guys! Loving the watch. I noticed my AD pulled up like a Rolex app that showed exactly what link to take off when sizing. Found that pretty neat.

When I first went into my local AD and tried one of these on, SA said I could get one pretty quickly. I opted for a sub date and I’m still waiting…..
