Fletcher, it's an optical distortion from the pic. When I take the watch off and look at each marker straight on, they line up perfectly. Thanks for the observation!![/QUOTE]

Phew, thank goodness for that I'm very pleased for you congratulations

The only reason I mentioned it in the first place was due to a thread on a UK watch forum that brought it to my attention. Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to the thread so won't but it is quite interesting.

Congratulations. I have had my SD43 for a few months now and I think that it maybe my favorite Rolex of all time. I have always wanted a larger Submariner and have owned the DSSD a few times but the new SD43 is perfect for me. The size, bracelet, red text and the glide lock clasp are great.

Me too, had them both and SD4000 but the SD43 is my favorite at the moment. Blue Dial SS Sky Dweller looks pretty hot but not at 20k,

Whoop! Pasadena, CA in the house! I am about three SD43 posts away from selling all non-essential possessions and making this my second watch sight-unseen. I have GOT to check one out.

Enjoy every tick, Good Sir.

I love my SD43 for how well it looks. It just makes me feel good. That is what watch collecting is all about. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pictures.
