"SWISS MADE" at 6 o'clock with no coronet ♛ between. Also stick numeral l in 1220m.

The only thing I don't love about the SD43 is actually one of the main design aspects which is the red text. I wish it was an actual red. It gets orangey very quickly in most lighting; much paler than the "DAYTONA" on the Daytona's I've handled. Some of these images show it worse than others.

Obviously I still love the piece dearly. I just wish it was a commanding red.

Hmm... I find the red quite ok & recently compared it to Tudor's (Pelagos line)









Then again, here's a shot taken with a different lighting angle and I guess one could say it looks to be a bit on the "bright" side of red...
