I love mine, it’s such a great wearing and versatile watch. It’s the watch in my collection that I had the least expectation of when I got it but is arguably my favourite!

Question. How many links come with this model? I received 10.5. Is this correct?

Yes 10.5 is right. 4.5 are removable, 6 stationary.

I’ve been waiting for this thread. It seems a lot of guys don’t seem to like the sea-dweller 43mm. Personally I love it

Can anyone with the 43 and 6.75-7” wrist size provide thoughts on fit/comfort?

I have a 6.9-7 inch (depending on temperature) wrist and it is wonderfully comfortable. Absolutely love it. Sold my DSSD to make room for this as my new weekender and it has now become my daily. I forget it’s on if I am wearing a sweater or jacket. I did not remove the divers ext but I am considering it as many have stated this added to the comfort. I think aesthetically it would improve it as the ext “hangs out” a bit and makes the clasp look a bit odd in my opinion.

Thanks...I’m wanting this as my first Rolex but I’ve never been able to lay eyes on it in person so just trying to get an idea from owners.

They don’t like it because they haven’t had the pleasure of trying it on

I have a 7” wrist and it fits like a glove. Don’t forget the best part of the SD43 is it is beautifully balanced and proportioned.

Thanks! Hopefully I can get my hands on one in the near future.

Sent my local AD an email yesterday asking IF they had one. I got a reply to call ASAP. I did. They had one to sell for "local" customers that they trusted not to flip the watch. Purchased today!

tac34vt · 23 April 2018, 11:30 PM

ScottyC - Congrats!

Here's mine enjoying the sun.

My other watches feel so neglected after this. I have been using this as my daily as well but I'm going to have to start rotating again.

I can't say I ever forget it is on. The proportions make it wear much better than its size would suggest but it's still a heavy monster. Feels a lot better on the wrist than my old Planet Ocean XL though.

The diver's extension does look a bit odd but I can't bring myself to take it out. I just think it's part of the technology of the watch. I guess taking it out would balance things out and make the watch lighter.

Congrats Scotty. You’re very lucky.

watch of the day!

Rolex85 · 4 May 2018, 05:02 AM

hey all SD43 fellow owners - anyone having a rough wind with the crown? I noticed today that my crown is winding a bit `rough` or gritty. My BLNR winds much much smoother. I think i am going to let the power reserve die by not wearing the watch for a few days and see if i can wind it back up. wondering if something is wrong with the crown and it will not wind the watch properly. Thought i would check in with everyone here just in case others notice it a bit rougher than their other crowns as well.
