Hey guys,

love this watch but hate the bezel scallops. Did anyone attempt to install another bezel ring on this yet? I wonder if we could source the VRF bezel ring and if it would fit the ARF insert...

All looks good in your pics. Both SELs look tight. You got a nice one!

I got my SD43 in the past 2 weeks and swapped out for a gen crystal, but pretty sure the stock crystal had the correct magnification, I’ll compare and put it up for sale on M2M.

I've had a view through this thread and comparing the watch to my genuine 126600 and I am struggling to see any major differences. I dare say if I saw someone wearing this out and about I wouldn't know it wasn't the real deal. Great review!



Mine is still in the box for when he is 21!

Here is the comparison, not the same angle to compare, but you can see the ARF crystal isn’t too far off and may be a big improvement for the guys who picked up the earlier version of the SD43.

Where can I go to purchase the ARF DSSD? I am relatively new to this forum and you guys have conviced me to go ARF instead of NOOB.
