I have just received QC yesterday evening after 5-6weeks of wait and gave him green light (Andrew, Trusty) ...

I think and hope it is the updated version.
Great work they have done, beautiful piece.

Maybe I'm crazy or too tired but the dial seems ever so slightly rotated CW but half a minute or less... the flat part of the 12 triangle marker is not level with horizon (can be seen on both pics) , the triangle on the insert and the rehaut's coronet are perfectly dead - on centered.

Got my QC this morning. Didn’t bother to ask for the 28 because frankly the watch looks great in all other aspects. Great SEL , all alignments good, etc. Should be headed my way soon!

Please post QC pics

I did the same and so did another forum member.. Watch looked so good the 28 was not an issue, when I got it the 28 was the fat version.. still not an issue for me.. just a great rep all round. This and Daytona are superb

Just got answer from Ryan. Factory tells this watch could be back in stock after 5 days. If not he‘s offering refund or another model. [emoji27]
All of you who have already got the watch or QC pics should be happy! I‘m jealous...

Refund or another watch? Makes me wonder how many orders TD's are taking that can't be filled... Doesn't sound obtainable in the near future. Damn.

 

[m5smg2]

Matte or gloss [emoji57]

Wow... that is a most unfortunate update.

I know I would just be kicking myself if I were to get a different model. From everything that I have seen about the sd43 it is a gem. Nothing else can really compare to it right now. And I do not like the Daytona model so there goes that.

They'll make it again soon - with demand as high as it is, they'll be making it a priority to manufacture.

I just hope that they don't rush the production and introduce a bunch of new flaws because the watch is perfect the way it is.
