Congrats on your new addition and wear it in good health!

Its the thickest watch I've had but you don't notice it much whilst wearing it.

I still have the diver link on the bracelet which I will remove as it doesn't look so good to me but it is very comfortable on the wrist.

Yes, the clasp seems the same to me. Just the diver link on there that seems different.

One little thing I've noticed is that the lume on the hands seems a slightly different colour to the hour markers. Might just be my eyes though

Wow these are really rolling in outside of the US... They looks great everyone I am very impressed with everything about the watch except for the MSRP, is this coming in around $11k UUD?

10 400 $ is MRSP in the US. Hope for a discount in year or two maybe 10%?

Thanks much! That is GREAT news for those thinking of getting the new SD. The old SD was the best I've seen regarding the glare ( Ive said many times this is the worst thing about Rolex watches that no one talks about) ...so the new one must be that much better. One thing--how do they compare in thickness?
