Just one more day with the SD...


My working watch has a SD PVD exact size copy but I never felt like the watch was bigger than 40mm...
Maybe you just experience a chemical reaction called love toward this new watch...
It's a known fact than when you are in love, they all look like they have perfect proportions anyway

Maybe we should call it love then Will!!! my love.gif bamby.gif

The SD does have some nice thickness going for it compared to some other sub styled divers...I think it is the sum-of-parts here...everything is machined so sharp with very tight tolerances...precision/design of the triplock crown makes it the best operating, most robust crown design I've experienced...3135 calibre winds buttery smooth...being a diver, I appreciate the significance of the SD to dive watch history beginning with the original COMEX effort.

yes...we better call it love then Will! happy guy.gif

btw...always love seeing your custom Kazimon 1500!!!!bravo.gif


Thanks! This kazimomega is a rocket: A real love story.
Well Chris, your Rolly is everything a watch should offer at this price point.
For sure it's sharp: The bezel teeth have a lot to do in this feeling and the overall finish looks great.
That's better than a classic Sub imo, specially since no cyclop comes in the way.
Great picture as usual buddy

Thanks Will! It's a cracker and keeper for me...for sure!

As you pointed out, I also prefer the non-magnified date of the SD to the Sub...that and the slightly thicker case, although I'll admit the newer SubC's sure look sweet, with a different and more modern take on the Rolex diver.
