Mega congrats. It looks lovely, all that awesomeness in a tight 40mm package - in love.
Thanks for the pictures, we're about as excited as you. Like when a female family member gets back from the hospital with a new baby, all the women are like ooh ahh...."look! he moved his hand".

would love to hear your thoughts on how the case back and straight lugs sit on your wrist.

looks great!

i have wanted a deep sea for while and have tried it on twice in my AD, but is was simply too large for my taste.

so when this came along i was over the moon.

it sits very slightly higher and wants to rest slightly further forward.

in the pic, can hardly tell any difference between the gloss dial vs the matte dial, is it more distinguishable in person?

Congrats mate - that is a real beauty!

artschool · 3 May 2014, 12:15 AM

interesting thing i noticed is the coronet etching is more visible on the thicker glass.

artschool · 3 May 2014, 12:16 AM

also didn't come with the instruction manual because rolex haven't printed them yet.

Well if it's anything like the Deepsea which seems is the case in pictures, I would say in normal conditions my Deepsea looks the same as my glossy GMT2 but get it in sunlight or bright light directly on the dial and bam, a whole different story. Matte dial is clearly noticeable.

mailman · 3 May 2014, 12:19 AM

Congratulations

agree.

the matt dial looks slightly 'softer'.

not sure that i have a preference!

wantonebad · 3 May 2014, 12:21 AM

Very nice pictures!! Thanks for sharing!!

SWISSAHOLICS · 3 May 2014, 12:26 AM

Congrats....it's a beauty.

Baselman · 3 May 2014, 12:29 AM

How matte is the matte compared to the sub please - it was described as silky matte I think?

thomaspp · 3 May 2014, 12:30 AM

Wow! Congrats

SWISSAHOLICS · 3 May 2014, 12:35 AM

Loving the lugs and the crown guards!!

Jeffa32 · 3 May 2014, 12:41 AM

Congrats on the new baby.

Is the issue with the lugs not aligning with the end links very noticeable when on the wrist?

i have failed to capture the difference. May be it requires sunlight (in short supply today in england) like Rashid suggested to see it properly.

artschool · 3 May 2014, 12:43 AM

how about some lume? you can see the thickness of the glass on the SD4000
