This watch is right in the βsweet spotβ for being considered a classic. Enough of them made to get brand and model recognition, but not so ubiquitous that they are mainstream. I think of it as a classic already - canβt believe I didnβt jump on this until ...

Dear count, Full agreement - was unsure at beginning but the SD43 had been growing on me. The red detailing is charming and reminiscent of past reds β¦ and the slightly bigger size makes it more of a tool and less dress-y IMHO Best, Jerome
Three great vintage reissue choicesβ¦

That will most likely become classics in their own right, and the Traditionelle, which is one of those modern designs likely to become future classics ππ»ππ»
