Knight Rider Pics (aka SD50, aka SD43)
Another thread was asking how a watch got a name, so I thought starting a thread makes it official. Add your pics below fellow KR owners!

Please stop these ridiculous names already... at least keep it something like RedDweller. Grown men running around Knight Rider chillin with Kermit and Batman is this daycare?

I agree with some of the names, but this is universally cool

Cool watch and classic show.

But the nickname and names - around color scheme relating to superheroes, cartoon characters, and talking cars - are idiotic.

why does it have to have a name?

Mine is a SD4000 or SD4k... it makes sense based on the model....

why do people insist on giving them names????

sorry but no...

Yes. But that isn't knight rider. That's K.I.T.T. or actually the Knight 2000.
This is at least top three in the dumbest name category.
SD43 seems to already be an easily understood nickname which also makes sense. Nothing else is needed.
The Deepsea, Daytonas or Skydwellers never got any dumb nicknames. Plus when you force it, it really comes off desperate. Nicknames are usually something that just happen in an obvious way, which is how we came to SD43.

Oh, cripes....Here we go again. Why do so many insist on this kind of self infantilization?

I'm gonna stick to Ceramic Red Sea-Dweller, SD43, or 50th Anniv. Sea-Dweller.

The French are more nostalgic and are drawn to Vador but the Americans will prefer the real term, Vader.
Est-ce Vador ou Vader? Que la Force soit avec toi !

bad nickname


The D blue has evolved into it being called the cameron
therefore your watch will now be the Hasselhoff.



So great pics of your Hasselhoff OP
