Although not rare this resulted in premium prices being paid for the previously hard to sell SD4K. Fortunately for me with slender wrists, the SD4K is for now the last of the traditionally proportioned Sea Dwellers with all the advancements of the most modern Rolex dive watches with the exception of the new 3235 caliber (replacing the 3135) which was added to the new SD43.
I've had 3 ceramic subs and a deepsea, was never able to bond with them. All lasted less than a year, some only a few months. Just had my 1 year anniversary with the sd4k and I'm still in love with it just as much as the 1st day I bought it. It's a very special watch and I hope to keep it forever.
