Swissluxury.com has the SD43 for pre-order on their site with expected delivery in August/September. I recently purchased from Darryl and highly recommend him.

I am very surprised they have the sell price as the list and no premium.

And with a wire price that represents a slight discount. 11,010 wire vs. list at 11,350. Interesting.

Until you actually "collect" the watch and post photographs, you ain't the first............

So the gate is still open, and as I see it there are a number of horses in the running

I know the addition of the cyclops was controversial for some, but man is it a SWEET looking watch. It's definitively an apex diver.

Awesome, take pictures of it at the AD next to a DSSD if you can, many of us want to see the differences of the two, especially the thickness, thanks!

OK that looks like the real deal, rather than a non-working display model, looks like you just became the first TRF member to get one...

Congrats if that is your watch!!

Can I ask how it felt on the wrist? I know the case back protrudes more than the Sub line. Did you feel like it sat high on the wrist or does the case back sort of sink down in the skin and give a flatter appearance when worn?

Looks great on you judging from the picture you posted. What's your wrist size approximately?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Looks like the perfect size. Those tapered lugs and wider bracelet are pretty awesome on the wrist it looks like.

It sat perfect imo, much sleeker than a deep sea and does not sit high at all.
Wrist just over 7"
It sits as well as a sub, I think the size is perfect, I think this will be in high demand due to the new size case. I personally think the sub will come across as small now.

I owned a 42mm Exp2, it even sits and wears better than that.
