It sits as well as a sub, I think the size is perfect, I think this will be in high demand due to the new size case. I personally think the sub will come across as small now.

I owned a 42mm Exp2, it even sits and wears better than that.

So excited.

Thanks for the update.

Great information, thanks! My wrist is just over 7.5" and seeing how good it looks on you has me totally excited to try one on. This could wind up being perfect for me.

This was EXACTLY what I was hoping to hear. My Subs always felt/looked a little too small for my 8.5+" wrist, yet my DSSDs always started to annoy me for a long-term daily wearer due to its thickness. I assume this SD43 will be the perfect "inbetween" watch for me, but won't know for sure until I try it on and wear for a while. But your report is very encouraging.

Congratulations and it looks great. What size wrist do you have? I am considering one for myself my wrist is 7 inches exactly.

Looks like the race is on to see who will post on the wrist pics first

Dusko.Popov · 1 May 2017, 06:41 AM

Damn that thing is nice looking. I know it's just colored font and size and the addition of a magnifier but it's all put together quite well.

...and redesigned lugs/crown guards, better proportioned tapered bracelet, modified clasp, new movement (w/ amazing 70 hr reserve), etc...lets not forget this watch offers significantly more IMO than simply some red font and a few mm increase in size.

Netminder1 · 1 May 2017, 08:01 AM

Man, that is exciting just to see it. You must be tingling all over!

skirsch · 1 May 2017, 09:52 AM

moby33,

How has the clasp been modified? It did not look different that the previous SD 4000.

mmalek1 · 1 May 2017, 10:04 AM

Congrats!

Qwerty01 · 1 May 2017, 10:12 AM

WoW Congratz being the first with a wristshot!

TheVTCGuy · 1 May 2017, 11:25 AM

Your AD just called me, there was a mistake; that watch is actually intended for me. I'll PM you my address, please send it over.

What size is your wrist?

Two questions that everybody has:
1. How thick (in mm)?
2. Which weight (in grams)?

Who will be the first to answer? :)

DCheeta · 1 May 2017, 03:36 PM

I think we all expect you to take the day off so you can go collect the SD first thing in the morning, and then spend the entirety of your day taking photos and posting them here for us.

That's a reasonable ask, right?

scooba · 1 May 2017, 03:52 PM

I went and had a proper feel and its massive ! made my 1665 MK2 look tiny . I am in a sort of honeymoon period with my 1665 PP MK2 at the moment and that maybe why I am not doing cartwheels etc. Its nice yes but to be fair I may just be digging the Vintage stuff more .

TBH I think my AD was a little disappointed when I said I may give it to my Father , He has always worn a decent watch , but he wears them hard from a lad I remember him having a old hand wound Omega that just wore out, Then another Auto Omega that again gave up , He then has my First Sub and that broke down twice , Then my 42mm Explorer, Then my old SD4K. He hasn't killed any Rolex .

He was 76 in April and if this had arrived sooner I would have given him this in a heartbeat. I won't sell it ! .

I just sold a Big Red I didn't wear to buy a new SD1665MK2PP and now keep asking myself why ,I sort off miss it but it was Small and now I think the 216600 is Big , Just maybe after 25yrs off searching it is the 40mm 1665/1680 that I really love. (currently anyway).

It is Lee Fowlers Birthday Today and he is picking up the 43mm so lets have hm post his pics first , He seams much more excited about this new 43mm than myself .

Boaters · 1 May 2017, 04:39 PM

Please show the thickness...

enjoy your day picking it up. and please post pics!

Lol-x · 1 May 2017, 05:37 PM

There is no way the SD43 will be as flat on ones wrist as the SubC.

Shops will be opening for Monday morning business real soon in the UK...

Never mind all this gentlemanly stuff! Have you got them yet??!!!

Smarties · 1 May 2017, 06:11 PM

It would be extremely helpful if those who're lucky enough to pick up SD50 today to post pictures with reference to their wrist diameter so that people can have clearer picture of how well the watch sit on different size of wrists.

Shaky · 1 May 2017, 06:11 PM

Not sure if the shops will open at 0900hrs today (9 mins ago) or 1000hrs as it's a bank holiday in the UK
