Oh yeah! I forgot about the MK1/MK2 thing until you mentioned this.

Congrats! That’s a great first Rolex!

new band, very comfortable.

Still like the bracelet as the primary, but I am also enjoying the ability to switch over to this lightweight and highly breathable Nato option.

Hi

After a wait of nearly two years I received the call from my AD during lockdown confirming they had an SD43 for me if I still wanted it! So after a few weeks waiting to collect I'm now a proud new owner and loving every minute it's on my wrist. Its my first Rolex but after reading and learning from this forum I'm already saving for my next!!
A big thanks to all who via the forum have increased my knowledge and understanding of all things Rolex over the last couple of years.

Dave

I've had this for a little more than 2 weeks and I've enjoyed putting this on my wrist each and every morning!

MK1 in 2020. Love it. Just trying to get used to the thickness. I’m going to try and daily wear it for a few months and see if I get used to it. I don’t mind the weight. Seems lighter then others have said. I was expecting to always notice it but honestly I forget I’m wearing it most of the time. I only feel the weight when I pick it up.

Same here, mostly at home for months now. I’m enjoying it more than ever.
Proof we don’t get a Rolex for showoff but for our own pleasure. :-)

Anyone found a red/black rubber strap for this bad boy with buckle+tang? I don't want to use my glidelock from the bracelet if I swap.
