Congrats Chad. I've been enjoying mine. Looks good on you and perfect fit. Did you remove extension
or left it?

I owned two DSSDs and IMO this is the watch that one should have always been. The case size, height and proportions are incredible. The lug width is perfect and the bracelet size and width just makes this watch all around perfect. It's obviously a decent sized watch, for anyone looking to step up a size from the SubC but didn't take much to the DSSD, this is definitely the watch!

Diver Extension is gone! Removed it immediately. I have absolutely no need for it and I find that when it extends past the clasp (which is already pretty damn long) it stiffens up the play on the bracelet. Instead of simply extending the length of the bracelet it really extends the length and rigidity of the clasp, which for a smaller wrist is a problem. Anyway, I removed the extension and the half link and have a perfect fit!

Congratulations Chad, it looks perfect on you! Also, great side by side comparisons with your LVC and Daytona.

Thank you all so much for the comments and support! My wife gave me the old "yeah it's really nice" and went back immediately to what she was doing. So I turn to my TRF brothers and sisters for the support haha

Welcome to the SD43 club
Thank yoU! It's an important perspective i wanted to share, to see with those others watches. The proportions are incredible.

It all worked out my friend! It could easily be a candidate for my favorite too! I'm still in the dead heat of the honeymoon here, so I'm currently blinded. But I absolutely love it, as you already know since I must have sent you a hundred texts telling you how much i love it!

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. I mentioned it before. In many ways, this IS the watch I've been waiting for. I always wanted black sub to go with my green sub, but could never justify owning two SubCs. I never cared much for the SD4k and i owned and sold two DSSDs. This is the one for sure! The size and style is different enough from the LVC to coexist in any collection.

Thanks so much. best of luck to you! I don't think they're going to be ridiculous to source one. Should be able to get one on the wrist fairly soon!

+1. Very big congrats, Chadri. Yours are some of the best photos yet that I've seen of the SD43. Now you've got me wanting one, and I've already got 2 Deep Seas, an SD4K, and several Sub C's, lol. Thanks for the write-up, sounds like a fun watch/road trip. Enjoy your beautiful new 126600. -Rick.
