SD43 just landed and couldn't be happier

Great watch! Congrats.

I’d be telling a lie if I didn’t say I noticed the 25 Macallan first!!

Cheers!

Ys, that's the dilemma. Keep for nostalgia or put proceeds towards another new edition :)

The evening continued. Not a sharp shot by any means but thought the mood was captured well.

A great choice. Your super cool photo makes it look like it's built like a tank!

Don't get rid of the 16610 if you don't have to. Think of all the fond memories it will bring back. I can't see myself selling my oldest watch (a PO2500C) for that very reason.

I've got to try that Mcallan 25 :-). I very much like the 15 yrs old.

I agree, probably will keep it. BTW warning!!.. Try the 25 at your own risk of becoming addicted to an expensive but truly opulent single malt. My fav by far.

Awesome. I really love this watch.

I know it's not for everyone, but I have huge wrists and love large watches.

Congrats on the SD43. I have been out of the loop and didn't know it existed until two days ago and my AD is already getting one ready for me next month. I'd keep the 116600, you've had it for so long you may enjoy wearing it here and there.
