Sd43-126600

[WC3]

Recently purchased a new 50th Anniversary SD43...somehow, I already have a microchip on my lug...has this happened to anyone else? Bought it to wear daily, but didn't want a chip 2 months in

[worldofoyster]

the SD43 is a true tool watch, wear it with pride

Anything you wear on your wrist is going to get dinged, even if you just wear it at your desk.
the 126600 is a beauty, congrats and enjoy wearing it

[swexlin]

Yep, I have an SD43 as well, daily wear, and it's got a nasty scratch on the clasp.

Just like any car, if daily driven (or worn, LOL) it's gonna get dinged

To be blunt - get over it, LOL!

[996marty]

As the others have mentioned unfortunately these things happen when worn regularly but great to see it getting lots of wrist time

Welcome to the forum. Can you post picture?

[WC3]

I agree...didn't buy it to set in a case

[WC3]

Ha...I'm over it. Wearing it proudly

[WC3]

Will do...thank you

[WC3]

I will as soon as I figure out how to post a pic

[jimbobali]

Mine hardly leaves my wrist and it's full of scratches, doesn't bother me one bit. Best sports watch Rolex makes IMHO

[alphadweller]

It's meant to take a beating.

Best is to wear it with pride.

If beating up the Rolex is too painful then Omega at half price is another option to take the edge off.

It can happen the first day of ownership or never. Just roll with it and enjoy.

This Omega is certainly not half the price. And they all get dinged up eventually, especially if you are actually diving it.

Cool watch. Has nothing to do with my comment.

[samson66]

Dings and scratches add character. Enjoy!

My point is that not all Omegas are half the price of an SD50. Only the basic SM300 and basic PO's are; while many others like the PloProf are more expensive than the Rolex.

But, I agree that you should not sweat the dings and scratches; they will happen to any watch. Putting a ding in a $6000 watch does not bother me any less than doing it to a $13000 watch. Although, I always own a G-Shock for the working dives and really crappy work because beating it up does not bother me in the least.

Congrats and enjoy

Yeah so maybe common sense is a PO or a SMP. Geez dude. Sensitive about omega much.

Very cool watch! I have the standard SS/black dial version on the shark bracelet. It is a heavy BEAST...Love it.

Hey Vincent, I had a chance to try one on at the Omega boutique last summer … great reference

No problem with Omega, I own and have owned several. I was just pointing out that the price of Omegas Diving watch range spans the Rolex SD50 and some models exceed it's cost. When choosing a diving watch few buyers use common sense. They see what they like and they buy it.

[Gebbeth]

A ding or scratch, cut, etc., means the watch is officially customized for you.

[Snipe10]

Tried one on yesterday, a lot lighter than my Deep Sea. With 8.25" wrists, I thought it was too small. Probably isn't, but that's just me.

[greenlove]

Don’t worry about it, it’s not some collector watch or anything.

[Kevin of Larchmont]

It’s a bummer but it happens and now you’re past it. Wear it with joy.
