I haven’t seen a bad one yet. Keep them coming. I think it’s really cool to see this watch beside othe great Rolex models. Proportions are so great on this piece!

I need to try this on... But, I'm afraid what will happen next...

what is US MSRP on this model? I was seriously considering the previous Seadweller (perhaps the last without the Cyclops?) but I'm a bit smitten with the red, and the sizing might be nice too, although I've become quite comfortable with the 40mm 1680.

I think $11,350

If unsure on the size definitely try to get one to try on first. Wears much differently than the standard 40 mm Rolex sport models

Can anyone with 6.75-7 wrist elaborate on fit/feel?

Sure, I'm right in that range. Needs to be worn fairly snug, but fits very well. Certainly wears smaller than 43mm with the MAJOR caveat that you can get a good fit with the caseback protrusion (which is pretty significant) sitting nicely between the bones in your wrist. If worn down on your wrist bone, it wears a lot larger due to the height.

7' inch wrist. You have to wear snug and above wrist bone.

Honestly, the nerd in me cannot help but want to give this watch a nerdy nickname.

I see it as the Darth Vader or "Vader" personally. I mean come on, the Black and touch of red with the aggressive bezel and size?

Can't just be me lol

The SD43 looks great on you by the way...

Grand Cherokee limited, I’ve had it for 6 years now and I still really enjoy it. That’s awesome you’ve got the SRT, that thing looks like a beast...maybe someday!

Thanks, your SD43 looks sharp on you as well!

Oh, ok. Wheel looked just like my last Wrangler. Grand Cherokees are great vehicles, love mine. No plans on parting with it. I miss my Wrangler, but once you move up a few notches in the luxury class it's hard to go back.

I work in DC. If you ever want to meet up and compare SD43's shoot me a PM

Agreed, I’ve almost pulled the trigger on a Rubicon a few times but then the GC reminds me of how nice it is to have a luxury style SUV.

Good to know! I’m pretty busy the next few weeks but we can coordinate something after that, will let you know!
