I'm not paying over list , it will never fit me!

Well I did and it does !

These had been my original feelings towards the new sd 43.

Didn't set out this morning to do this .

Original plan was to go and try a ROO to see if it would be the right size for me .

Just as I was leaving the shop , I took a quick look at the other side of shop that I hadn't been in and boom !

There it was , all sense and rationale was lost . I tried it on and could not believe with my own eyes how good it was .

Am sorry to see my sub go as I loved it but I could not pass on this .

Life's too short etc .

What a day !

Not sure exactly but am sure would be considered small. Had convinced myself it would be too big but tried on in person and delighted with it .

Grey market rules! They are the Moses to the AD's Pharaoh for those of us without a chummy relationship.

Congrats!
