Hi lads, it has been a hectic time for me of late and I apologise for not popping in more frequently to say hi. After nearly two years since I placed the order, this beauty has arrived and now sits on my wrist. Lovin this watch. Drop Dead Gorgeous.   |

PETE!!! Now that’s the way to make a grand re-entrance! Welcome back my friend and congrats on yet another “red beauty”. I met a friend for drinks one night last year who has one and it’s a fantastic watch.

Hi mate, how you doing?
I see the temperatures in the States are crazy low at the moment.
Stay warm my friend 👍

Just a wee bit cold here tonight, so I thought I’d step outside in just a T-shirt and take a photo for you! LOL  |

Great to see you back again Pete! And what a grand entrance. Huge congratulations on that SD43. I recently - finally - got to see this model in real life a few weeks ago. It is indeed stunning, and I know it is well worth the wait. Ordered one myself, then change my order to a Sub 114060. Even that is going to take a while. Anyway, I know how thrilled you must be with this one.
Well, regardless of how long you stay away, it is always great to see you back here again. Welcome back, and hope you can stick around a bit longer this time and show us more pics of your SD43.
Cheers,
Carl

Will do Carl.👍 Is it just me or does life get busier and busier with each passing year? Need to take more timeouts I think I think the 50th Anniversary Sea Dweller is a great homage to the original below. Well done Rolex.  |

Would love to have one. |

My eyes are fading and I’m wearing reading glasses these days.
The cyclops is a godsend😀

The cyclops is a godsend😀 I hear ya’ - I like the one on my Exp II for the same reason, but the historian in my hasn’t grown to accept it yet on a SD. That said, I hated the green bezel on the Kermit when it came out and love it now, so the cyclops will probably grow on me too. |
