Icon14 Whatta Watch - SeaDweller 43


I finally sat down and did a Minus4Plus6 website edit and included my review of the Rolex SeaDweller 43 Reference 116600. I am quite excited about this watch as well as the laser engraving I had performed to the bracelet.

If you get a moment, please see my review at https://www.minus4plus6.com/SD43.php. All errors and ambiguities are mine so feel free to point them out.

-Sheldon

Great review, Sheldon! Interesting tidbit on the springbars, I hadn’t noticed that before. Love the engraving too.

Nice review Sheldon glad to see you’re enjoying the SD43, it’s a great watch

The ref #s in your article could be changed to 116660 for the DSSD, and the blro is 126710. The SD43 (in your post) is a 126600

Great thanks! This is what happens when I type the reference numbers from memory.

I wear the TT version SD43 on my 6.5 inch wrist and it is fine largely due to the lug profile which bends downwards as mentioned in the review.

Laser engraving is kind of different. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen that on someone’s watch bracelet before?

Brilliant watch I have worn mine every day for 5 months. It’s a fantastic piece.

Yesterday I put on my super light dainty Explorer 216570 and love it even more.

Fantastic review as well I love the comparison table. I didn’t realise my Explorer II was so similar in dimensions.
The engraving job is beautiful really makes it yours.

The SD43 is the diver to have. Every Tom Dick and Harry has a submariner.
