SD 43. I知 charmed.
New to this watch but I just can稚 stop looking at it. Starting by the ceramic bezel that shimmers like a black diamond to the depth of and visibility of the dial and finally to the amazing chromalight!

Tried it on at gray and it looks cool but rather thick.

I for one was shocked to find that it did not visibly wear THAT much bigger than a 116610 / 116710...

This watch can't be worn but snug and behind the wrist bone. It makes it sit flush and looks and feel almost like a Submariner.

I agree, it appear much bigger in pictures than in the flesh.Perfect proportions between the bezel, dial, lugs and bracelet width.

Nice to see you enjoying it Rori.

I have owned one of the first ones, and still enjoy it like I did the first day

And it looks good with that BMW interior. We share the same taste for watches and cars.

It's the best Rolex sports watch in my opinion. Stone cold bad-ss watch. Put my GMT out of work for weeks. No desire for any other sports model now.

"Stone-Cold-Bad_SS Watch" this is the coolest quote I've read describing this watch. Love it

Have you tried it on your wrist. Caution, do not do that while wearing a small watch, do so after you wear a minimum 40mm watch otherwise it will look big on your wrist while it's not. our eyes are too lazy, they don't adapt fast to sudden difference in sizes or proportions :-)
