I’ve been a lot of ADs across 3 continents in the past 6 months. I’ve only seen an SD43 in a display case once. In Asia. The AD was offering to sell it for $16k. Alternatively, they were willing to sell it for retail if I purchased over $50k of PM watches at the same time...

Emailed my AD that I wanted to see one in person the next one they get (but was clear I wasn't yet in the market), and got a call the next day that one had just come in. Wears nice and light as a feather compared to my 116619. Was not yet sold although they were not going to put it in the case.
I know they had one maybe 3-4 months ago as well so it seems they get the watch in regularly frequently. |

+1 My AD said the waiting list for this watch is starting to resemble the Daytonas. |

After owning multiples rolex since the 90s I must say they have really hit the bulls eyes with this SD43.. Especially with the broader width braclect. Tho I am paying above retail of SGD 2200.... But hey guess what I am so pleased with it. Not gonna play the waiting game... Especially in Asia.

This is NOT a hard to find watch. I got mine last year with no effort at all. No lists or any of that. AD called me said it was mine if I wanted it. Cool watch...I'll check it out or whatever. I actually chose it OVER a black dial SS Daytona, so I don't have this dislike you are curiously imposing on me. It just isn't the watch that you think it is from a market performance perspective. I have heard a dealer say they are harder to get than SS Daytona, but I think that was just babble... Like I said, I got mine with no effort. There have been numerous posts about getting one a week or so after ordering from AD. There were other reports of them in the case. There wasn't anyone wanting one to put it on the list. None of this means that it is a bad reference or that I dislike it. It does mean that is not as popular as you think it is. It is easier to find than you think it is. I'm sorry if that is contrary to your beliefs, but that's just how it is...Modern SD lag behind in popularity. If they were more popular overall, this would be an $18K watch on the grey market...but it's barely trading above retail plus TAX. |

They are definitely not sitting on the shelf at my AD! One for daily wear, the other for the safe deposit box. |

You have to wear this watch in all your daily activities to get a feel for how awesome and beautiful it is. I bought a green sub (hulk) last year and never wore it it. I put it in the safe and left it. One day I said what the heck, I’m going to wear it for a week, and once I saw it in the many shades of light at work, while driving, and out on the town, and now it truly is the most visually stunning watch I have. Had I not put it to work in my daily life, I may have not seen it’s true beauty. My gut feeling is the SD43 will turn out the same way amidst the standard Rolex fare I see at the coffee shop every day. I get more questions about this watch than any other I have.
