SD43 Incoming thanks to Takuya!!
Hey everyone after seeing the posts and pictures everyday and loving the bigger size of the DSSD and the SD43 I caved in and traded my LVc for the new Sea Dweller!
Love the Hulk but size was not perfect, the dial and bezel are phenomenal and love the glide lock clasp. I really do like the D-Blue and was a late night looking at pics, reviews and videos but I think/hope I made the right choice. Contacted Than Do aka Takuya Tuesday night, took care of business on Wednesday and it will be a very happy Thursday!! It was that easy. He was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely post some pics when it arrives!! As been said before,”Thanks to all the enablers out there” for this wonderful acquisition!! I live in Vegas and went to the Wynn, Caesars, T-Bird Jewelers and they basically all said the Cameron would take possibly a few months, the SD 43 about a year! I tried to start a relationship with a new dealer and told them I was a serious buyer but no go. I understand these are harder to get pieces, so thanks to the Trusted Sellers and TRF for helping my get a beautiful watch!! And again thank you all for sharing your thoughts, opinions, and stories. Dave G. Ps. I still might add the D-Blue!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations and looking forward to the incoming
Based on experience the watch doesn't arrive any sooner if you keep refreshing the FedEx tracking page

Congratulations Dave, great watch! I'm sure you must've got a decent price for your LVC too, which always helps

If there is one person who can easily pull off that DSSD size is you, my friend. Definitely add the DSSD!

Thanks everyone for the comments. Very pleased with the size of the case/bracelet. It’s definitely a keeper. Hang tags are off but I’m a keep the stickers on for a bit guy, lol.
