Incoming 116660!

With the idea firmly in my head to wait for a Daytona C white, with all these rumors about the SD4000 being discontinued, I decided to pull the trigger on one that became available (via a trusted online seller :)

After two days on the wrist, ZERO regrets! This watch fits very comfortably and thickness just right for me. I love the dial/bezel contrast depending on the lighting (see pics). Weight no issue compared to my previous SubC ND and it feels so good to have that wonderful glidelock back! Lots of cool details that add to the overall "awesome" factor of the watch. Wore it on the slopes yesterday. Super excited! This one's a keeper for me!

Thank you very much! I must say it feels a little odd to pick up this one when everyone's talking about Basel2017 in 3 days and speculating on the new SD 42 Cyclops Red or Green! But I'm thrilled to go 'old school' with this one. It is just a great fit!

Not a problem. Date window integrates nicely with the maxi hour markers. Cyclops not an essential feature for me personally.

Congrats but I was expecting a DSSD. Kept looking at the pic and I thought I had too much to drink

Enjoy your SD
