Looking good, my friend. Had a similar type of feeling when I got my BLNR a few years back.

Glad you are still loving it. Like Neil said in an earlier post, you were one of the first to get this amazing reference. Still remember the day I read that post and was really happy for you.

Believe it or not, I still have not seen one in any of our AD's. But I don't frequent them and much as I used to.

Congrats on the new watch! It's quite spiffy with the red writing against all that black. :-)

Great watch. Really suits you. On the right wrist they look tremendous. Unfortunately mine while slightly bigger is not the right shape, so I will have to stick with smaller watches

Thanks Eric I've followed several of your incomings and your collection is fantastic. I can see why you might not have a need to go to your AD as much

Definately not bored of the DBlue, in fact it's still probably my favourite I wear it mostly on weekends though as its not quite as comfortable as the SD43

I have had various Subs for the last 20 plus years and while I move through different ones I think that the style and look are similar. I have a SD43 and it does feel like it has been around longer than the time I have owned it. Of all watches, both Rolex and other brands, the Submariner style is my favorite.

I tried one on the same wrist together with my old Submariner. They are similar but very different. The new Seadweller is slightly larger and thicker so it seems to have more presence. I'm giving serious consideration to adding one to my collection.
Enjoy wearing it!

I think all the Rolex divers feel like an old friend on the wrist at this point in my watch collecting journey

Looked at this last weekend and it's pretty large! Like it though.

AD said demand isn't as high as they expected.
