This is by far my favorite watch forum I'm not just talking about Rolex info, either; regardless of the sub-forum, the members are both well-informed and for the most part, very eager to participate in a positive way. Troll-count here is minimal and the mods do a great job in keeping it that way

I second that This forum provides huge amount of information.

Seasons Greetings watch. It has enough red for the task.

Some really fantastic photos in this thread everyone

One more striking thing that pictures can’t show well is the depth of the dial that shows the best in lowlight with lume ON.

Excellent review, so all the Mk1 dials have the Coronet laser etched in the glass?

Many thx
AFAIK, all Rolex watches after approximately the early-to-mid 2000s have LECs. It's there as an authentication marker.

p.s. Happy holidays, everyone

Thanks for the info. Pretty new here and dying to get a 126600. Merry Christmas!

I love my SD43. Just love it. This past weekend I purchased a WGYM43. Now I can’t decide which to wear! I’m hoping that this is my most difficult decision to make in the coming year!

rotate daily?

[Rori]

I wonder what is the dial size of YM compared to the SD43. It looks bigger also the hour indexes look bigger. Can you confirm?

Good call. I have actually rotated I’m the same day! I like to sleep with a watch. Always wore a watch to sleep so I can’t sleep anymore without one on my wrist. On days I wear the SD43 I switch to the YM42 later and after a good ‘charge up’ of the lume, that’s my sleeper. Honestly, can’t go wrong here with either one. Love them both. Love them all. So many Rolex’s but only two wrists!

very nice article and beautiful photography. One little know fact about the cyclops worth mentioning: early one the cyclops was an option. One of the reason once in a while one will see a sub date with no cyclops, same with the GMT's.

Hi all, looking to purchase a DSSD and was curious what wrist size are you folks? I’m just over 7” wrist size myself and was curious how it wears on small to medium sized wrists? Thanks

Have just ordered mine from a local shop - I am on a 2-year waiting list - Can't wait to get it on my wrist...
That is a gorgeous watch...
She's all about elegant proportions, robustness and identity.
The single red and cyclops add to her unique character, she's beautifully exclusive, isn't she?

[Rori]

You’ve described in few words what this watch is all about. Wait until you get it on your wrist... you’ll be more than enamored.

The SD43 is not the same size as a DSSD but FWIW, my wrist measures roughly 6 3/4".

The SD43 actually is a larger watch than the DSSD126660 when measured from end link to end link.

The 116660 was larger than the SD43
