What a special week...
last year was my 50th Birthday and I didn't really feel like celebrating... Didn't get myself anything. When I read about the SD43 it really got me interested, since I was born in 1967 and can't afford the $400K+ for 1967 single SD redliner, I decided that the SD43 would be a great watch to celebrate my 50th as well. I was also very interested in the SD4K, first because I once owned a sub 116610LN but never got used to the maxi case, it was uncomfortable on my wrist, the SD however retained more of it's original form, which I found more comfortable... I never bought one though... However the fact that it was made for such a short time is making it even more special and renewed my interest... So for my 51st, I decided to get both, It is like having the last remnant of an era, 40mm no cyclops, and the first one of the SD new design. I am proud to own both, two very special watches indeed. And I can't wait to take them with me diving : )
The SD43 was purchased at my AD, the SD4K from my favorite trusted seller SDW. ps: at 51 years old, the cyclops is a welcome addition : ) |

Congrats on the pair.
Seems like the SD43 has turned out to be popular with a lot of people celebrating their 50th birthdays. I am also in that club :-) |
