Awesome!!! Thanks for the pics, it really helps to see these comparison / real world shots. I decided some time ago that I need this piece, so hopefully it will only be a few weeks and mine will arrive as well.

Wear that beauty in the best of health!

Cheers,

Joe

Fantastic! Congratulations. I wanted to understand how it compared in look and size to my D-Blue. Thank you. Enjoy.

Thanks for the pics!

I like what I'm seeing. The SD43 is a larger watch, but It looks very proportioned to me. Much more so than the DSSD and SD4000. Rolex did a great job with the case on this one.

Yes, looks slimmer and the caseback seems to fade into the cushion as well.

+1, the 'watch gods' have righted a wrong, lol, with the early landing of the SD43 in the UK. Congrats on your awesome new Sea Dweller, Andrew! Btw, imho, the dial looks 'matte-like' from your pics. Could you weigh in on it? Congrats again, enjoy it to the fullest!

Wondering how the weight of the watch will compare to the DSSD due to the larger bracelet and clasp?

I believe the weights of other models are as follows:

DSSD is 215g
Subc is 155g
