SD43 Question
One thing that always annoyed me about SD4K was a very tight spacing between the case and spring bars, which made thicker nato straps impossible to use. Is this also the case with SD43? Thx.

I never tried to change the bracelet to notice … I know Mike and a few others have. I’m sure they’ll be along to comment

No not an issue like on sd4k. There is more room on the 126600 (sd43). I have used most all types of nato and even Zulu. They fit without problem.
I had the sd4k and found the same issue you mention where I could only use very thin natos and even then was a tight fit. It bothered me too. |

I’m sure you’ve heard of this, but if you’re wearing on nato in the ocean etc, I like to put shoulderless spring bars on my sd43. Marathon makes the most robust I’ve seen. Then it’s pretty much bulletproof from loss. You will need to cut the spring bars off when changing back to bracelet so need some quality wire cutters. Seems like overkill but gives peace of mind. I don’t trust the Rolex spring bars or really any shouldered bar when using nato in the ocean.

Thank you all for your feedback, I’ll visit my AD on Monday to try it on and see how it fits.
