Well done, grab it. No problem with the Oysterflex , the AD should provide the correct length for you, and you have the effective glide lock too. I like to wear it slightly loose, but the sheer...

Useful....
Look at the lugs. The 42 lugs are so much slimmer, less ‘blocky’. This was a crucial factor for me. Because the case is also slim (same depth as a Daytona) the sense of bulk is minimised.

Thing is, as many people here have experienced, sometimes you have to hold your nose and just dive in. Usually works fine....and I suppose it’s the same with most things, cars, houses,...

No discount.....he wasn’t interested in any deal. I’d be surprised that any AD would do that in the current market. I suppose you could try for a good trade-In. But all of these gold models tend to...

Good luck. Pretty sure that you’d never regret buying one. After using one for a year, I like it more than ever.....
Delivery seems a bit hit and miss, but then it’s a Rolex, so what do you expect!...

I wore an SD43 a lot, lovely watch. But it’s size and bulk are noticeably larger than the 42mm, especially the thickness and bulk. My guess is that if you like the SD43 you will love the...

. Further down this thread are a number of comparison pictures posted by several owners. Here’s one on my wrist. In the real world, it doesn’t seem very large at all at least, not to me, although...

Ben Ainslie lost.
Omega sponsor the likely winners....the New Zealand team. And they are the official timekeepers.
Not much room for Rolex in that. Rare for them to be on the losing side. My guess...

Good general guide; if unsure, don’t buy.

I certainly don’t regret buying one, and have been wearing it nearly every day for the best part of a year, without getting bored.
But, as always, it’s personal. If it ever becomes available in...

Excellent. Look at how much broader the lugs of the SD43 are. It’s just a bigger, bulkier, thicker, watch. That’s not a criticism...I really like the SD43. But it’s a different animal.

There might be exceptions; but (say) five years ago, you could
get 20% off something like a DayDate. You had to know the dealer quite well. Then, about three years ago, it seemed to fall to 10%....

I found it a struggle to get the watch at all; certainly no discount. Which contrasts with a few years ago when 10-15% was on offer. It’s just supply and demand.
Right now, used prices seem...

One final attempt to contrast the SD43 and YM 42. I no longer own the SD43, but from old photos and new...

Here’s a photo of the thickness, which I have just taken. Sadly, I don’t have much to co pare it with, this is a 41mm CWC naval diver. Not that big. Incidentally, if you look at the SD43, note how...

. The best illustration I can suggest of size is something like a broader Daytona. Same slim case and curves, just slightly wider. The depth (less than 12mm) is key, together with the cut-back...

I have one, bought it six months ago from the local AD after quite a long wait. Wasn’t that easy to get at that tIme. I used to have an sd43, which is quite a lot chunkier. To me, this is the best...
