Hi Michael...
... I'm not an authority either but honestly I found this iteration much better than the last one, which honestly imho was not appealing
Another thing is if you compare the Anniversary with more "classic" SD, but this is completely another game I can't (not such a high net worth guy) and do not like to play (besides my humble 16660)...
Thanks for the "nice" anyway
I wish you a wonderful week end
Best
Luca

New Sea Dweller "50 Anniversary"...
... here we are, I received some days ago the controversial new SD43 or call it as you wish Really happy and in full honeymoon, as already said in another thread I struggle to understand all the critical comments this watch has received My first impressio...
Very nice!
I will be getting mine on Tuesday next week. Can't wait! To me it is much improved over the previous SD. It could be a bit smaller but I guess I will manage to wear it. But dial, case, bracelet and even hands (now balanced in size and reaching all the way...
Hi Anatol,
Sharing the same opinion, I wish you could receive yours asap You'll enjoy it more than you're thinking now Wear it in good health Ciao Luca
I am far from an authority on Rolex, but I think this watch looks much better in the smaller case.
Not a criticism - this still looks "nice" - but the larger size loses the charm of the 116600. I also don't care for the massive cyclops. The 116600 is "just right" proportion wise, this one is not for my tastes.

This is the beauty of choice.
You do not need to convince anyone of how great a piece it is; the watch has convinced you and that makes it a great purchase. I own or have owned many polarizing pieces (not that this one is really polarizing, I don't think it is that different) and I lo...
I agree Michael...
... same here, and I really like your: "I love loving what others don't" My reply was not intended to seem rude o make you change your opinion, Ciao Luca
No worries Luca! I did not think that for a second.
As mentioned, I am far from any sort of authority on Rolex. But I am fairly sure I would enjoy that watch on my wrist. Maybe the smaller one just a bit more. Happy for you Luca, you got a keeper, and that is very special.
Congrats! Looking good on your wrist
Forget all the drama about this piece: it seems to another great hit from Rolex.
Thanks!!!
Everything already forgotten in the moment I pulled the trigger... Ciao Luca
I like it a lot, Luca.
First, I've always liked the cyclops. So, while I prefer no date at all, if there is one, it might as well be readable. Second, the red letters are eye-catching and add some pizzaz. Third, as you noted, the new Sea Dweller has Rolex's top-of-the-line move...
Huge congrats, Luca!
For me the perfect Rolex allround tool watch for all circumstances. It has a fantastic new movement (I own the new DD40 and therefore know what I'm talking about), an excellent WR, a perfectly sized bracelet and - due to the possibilities of modern techno...
Looks amazing !!
I've ordered mine - deposit paid and waiting. Can't wait. Personally I think it's stunning
Dear ptug,
We share the same opinion on this I wish your wait could be as short as you hope Best Luca
Had this today
Just thought I'd share an email from the AD I have ordered it from : Great, thank you Peter! Fingers crossed, you don’t have to wait too long for yours…
Thanks Akiro!!! Always behaved as per your kind advice...
... and not only referring to watches, thanking God! 😀😀😀 Ciao Luca
Dear Hewitgar,
Happy you're enjoying yours as I'm doing with mine!!! Wear it in good health Ciao Luca
Added antoher pic...
... which I believe could better clarify when I wrote dial being a mix of gloss and matte finishing I wish everyone a wonderful Sunday Ciao Luca ...
Ultimately....
.....the only thing that matters is that you like it....and clearly you do. So, congratulations to you!!
Watches are fairly simple things, right?
If a watch makes you happy, its great. I have watches that people don't appreciate, but hey, I don't ask them to own them or wear them. We have discussed the SD43 before....you know my views on how I perceive it myself. But I am open to see how others may...
Thanks Baron the only important thing is to share the same passion...
... which does not mean in any case share the same passion for the same watch!!! Wear in good health what you like more and suit you better Best Luca
Congrats!
Most important thing is that you like it and that it fits you well Cheers D
Hi Arie,
Thanks!!! You're right, I'm in my honeymoon... so it's very easy for me to enjoy it without any kind of reserve Have a wonderful Sunday Best Luca
Ops... sorry, my mistake Mr Green!!!
Hoping you can accept my apologies, maybe a little too much red Italian wine 😉 Ciao Luca
In my humble opinion, years from now...
Collectors may consider the SD4000 to be the last of the "old" sea dweller, serving as the transitional model to the "new" model with the current. With the short duration of production, it may become the coveted one. Who knows how long Rolex will produce ...
I understand your point, but...
... I'm sure that SD4000 will never make richer an owner in the forthcoming 20 years... @ least imho Best Luca
Agree also on this, the reason I bought it it's because I liked it, not for any kind of speculation...
... just to reassire you Best Luca
can't wait, got the call for mine :) another 24H to wait !
thanks to your pics, I can appreciate now the end pieces detail : narrower center band at top near bezel, widens at the base for the 22mm connection between the lugs: what a great design. I cant wait, going to be hard to sleep before mine arrives tomorrow...
It depends on your wrist size, as you may see by my pics, my wrist is not so big to handle the extension properly...
and btw in any case the extension link you should consider is probably 1.5x longer (if not more) vs a standard oyster link I found the watch a better wear without, but for instance on a Submariner LV I didn't remove it, you should also consider that the n...
The new SD is a stunning watch!
After seeing your pics and the series of discussion, I'm one of those who thinks Rolex got this right. I have never had any issues on both the size and the cyclops of the new SD. Instead of the BLNR which I've been waiting for many months, I'll probably g...
Dear Greenwatch, I agree with you, I consider the new SD a fantastic watch...
Only an advice, before pulling the trigger try to wear both watches to make the right decision, even if I'm alredy sure that id you'll decide to go dor the new seadweller you won't disappoint at all... i'm really happy with it Good look in choosing the ri...
I went and tried it on a few days ago …
As I wanted to see it in the metal. I did not mind the size but as the photo shows it is a little big on my wrist. But in real life, it did not look big as I walked around the boutique. I do like it but am waiting for the new Sky Dweller, black or blue di...
