Incoming.....SD43

Did not think they would actually call, but they did.

Brand new SD43. For what it is worth, I have the full warranty card, cert. tag, and partial stickers. The AD did an outstanding job with the service and sizing.

Super pleased with it, and looks tiny next to the Deepsea.

Great watch. I tried one on at an AD recently. Loved it but unfortunately it was not for sale. Congrats.

How does it wear compared to the Deep Sea?

I have the Deep Sea and love it and I'm thinking of adding the 126600 down the road.

I have the 166600 D-Blue and the SD43 wears different. I am impartial to the band width, but what is very noticeable is in the smaller height and the smaller diameter of the SD43 makes it feel very small after wearing a DeepSea for 5 years.

The biggest change is that you don’t have to work that hard to wear the SD43. I actually am not a fan of the cyclops, but have to admit it is nice not to squint to see the date.

The lume lasts 2x longer.

I really do love the DeepSea!!!!

My Deepsea stays on the Rubber B where it has such great balance. The SD 43 I keep on the Bracelet. If I had to own only one watch the SD43 might be it.

Congrats! Side note, looks a little snug on your wrist. Maybe just the camera angle. Is it comfy? Lots of room to play around with sizing to get the perfect fit. Also don’t know if you removed the divers extension, but it made all the difference for me.

Great piece! I, honestly, was not a fan until I tried it on. Now it’s my daily! Enjoy!
