Right when I thought I’ve seen it all…

The SD43 surprises me with a new sight that I can’t help but sharing with you.

Beautiful watch. Congrats, but, other than its normal beauty...are you speaking of something that I am not seeing?!

It has a very special dial that goes from glossy to matte depending on light and angle. He might be referring to that, or just to the fact that this watch is just so darn photogenic

It's a great looking watch. I'm looking forward to getting one of these at some point.

Arguably the best looking modern diver. Also, the Sea-Dweller feels that extra special from a historical relevance. It has more charisma than any other professional model in terms of sheer impact. I remember that time in May 2017 when I was lucky enough to buy mine from a local AD. Felt like a punch in the face. I might be conditioned by my college boxing days..

I think he may be referring to the time being at just about exactly the Rolex stock photo setting?

He’ll have to take another picture on the 28th then. And needs to be about 8.5 seconds quicker.

Thanks for the feedback guys. What I meant was that the aesthetics of this watch are so beautiful and perfect it never stops dazzling me. Here I like it how it looks sandwiched against a glove.
Freezing outside by the way.
Cheers :-)

When taking a picture of a dial shot I prefer to take it with the the 10:10 hands configuration so all text on dial is perfectly framed and or not obstructed by the hands.

I love/hate my SD43. The looks are 10/10, the comfort level varies…some days it is fine others I can’t stand it. I have an 8” wrist so it’s definitely not too big, just the usual case back complaint.

That said, great shot!

That's my favorite view of a Rolex on the wrist. Always looks great peaking out from under a jacket or shirt cuff or in full view as yours is. Thanks for sharing!

Great pic! Beautiful watch! It's amazing how that little bit of red text can do so much too.
