Incoming SD43 & Thank You
Evening everyone, came home to a nice little box today. Big big thanks to Vince Bellissima (vinceb) of Timepiece Perfection Inc. An absolute pleasure to work with, great deal and it was less than 24 hours from wire to delivery. I know there are many great sellers here but I can't imagine anyone better than Vince.

This came to replace a 116610 and I have to say I like it far better. Even with the size increase it doesn't feel much larger given how beautifully the lugs are tapered.

Again, so happy I finally made this happen and big thank you to Vince again.

Awesome watch I know you will love it. Please write back after a few days of wear so we can hear your thoughts vs the sub.

Finally got it sized a few hours ago. Coming from a Sub Date it feels heavier (but as the hours pass I’m noticing the extra weight less and less). It’s certainly thicker but nothing crazy. Quite frankly I think it wears better than the Sub because of how the lugs are tapered and the bracelet is in better proportion.

My biggest worry going in was it was going to be too big on my 7 1/8” wrist. Not even close. So happy I finally made the move.

Looks awesome on you wrist man.
The more you wear it the more you’ll discover how perfect and beautiful this reference is.
I love how the dial and bezel change from pitch black to anthracite depending on lighting condition.
The only issue I have with this watch is that it is almost like a magnet to people’s attention ;-)

Thanks for the recommendation. I actually went to his site after I read your original post. I saw the watch that you purchased just hours before and then read that he has another. Suddenly, there seems to be many available. I hope to be posting my own picture in the very near future. I had my friends on last month and have not stopped thinking about it since. For me, EVERYTHING about the watch is perfect.

Do it. You won't regret it. Just keeps getting better everyday.
