The most correct sized Rolex is in yesterday

So finally the decision was taken in a couple of minutes when AD offered me SD43 yesterday. The most correct neutral Rolex. I always could not justify the neutral professional Rolexes ala Sub LN or GMT because of the small size on my wrist especially in black as it always looks smaller than other colors. So finally neutral black one with perfect size.

Perfect size is not the same for everyone.

Thanks all. I’m totally satisfied with my purchase, though I’m so with every Rolex watch. My wrist size 7,9”

Enjoy! Overall, if your wrist is over 7in, this is an extremely well balanced watch. The wider bracelet and overall case/lugs shape are most welcome.

+1; you need huge wrists for a Sub to feel small...

Out of interest the AD offered you the SD43, did you have it on order? Or was it in stock?

I have a good relation with an AD, and the watch was ordered by a customer but obviously he did not pick it up when they called him. Price in my city $10.4

Worth waiting. When you first hold it and feel the balance of the size, weight and deep black color, no words than well done Rolex. Cheers.

For many, the SD43 will fit better than the other divers
