Thank you! My wrist is 7.5. and when I first tried on a SUB and GMT at a local used dealer they felt small after being accustomed to wearing my Monaco McQueen.

I also thought about trading my sub date for a ND as I like the a lot and would be different enough from the SD to make a nice balance in the collection. If my sub was a ND I would keep it without question.

Congratulations, I wear mine most days now, funny thing was I had not considered it till Dec, saw one on an AD's wrist. It its looked nice and I saw the red from across the shop. Tried one on in Jan as they happened to have one in store and got it straight away, it along with my daytona are my main go to watches now.

Switched my sub over to the Everest rubber strap tonight to give it a try and differentiate some between my SD43 arriving tomorrow but not sure it’s for me. Maybe it will grow on me? It definitely changes the look and feel dramatically.

Incoming SD43 !!!
Yay!! Finally arrived today after a freight delay from FedEx that had me worried but all is good now. Even got surprised with a hat in the box, a nice handwritten thank you note from the AD, two copies of a appraisal and almost if not all stickers still in place! I promptly removed the divers extension and fits perfectly

Thank you! Also told the AD to put me on the list for a Daytona or BLRO don’t care to wait maybe I’ll get lucky again however I’m kinda leaning toward a 5 digit Pepsi instead of the new one for some reason. I may keep the sub as well. Now that I have both they are actually quite different.

Congrats! I love the size of these! After getting my dad the 44mm Breitling Superocean for Father's Day, I would love to see a 42-44mm GMT Master. I know that the Sky Dweller and Explorer could fill that space, but I LOVE the GMT.

I know most of you hate that idea!! Sorry!
