Yes you are right. But I read few threads over the week end about predictions for Rolex and Tudor. Predictions or more wish lists but I would wait end of March if I were you, just in case.

Try to divert your attention with another cheaper/classic watch from your wish list maybe.

I’ve got one and my arm is smaller than yours lol. Waiting for the basel18 is a good idea unless you are willing to wait and pay premium for new models.

Even if you wait for Basel, and wait for the release of new models. What are your chances of getting a new 2018 model? There are so many still waiting for the ceramic Daytona and even the SD43 from last year. I say buy the DS blue when you have the chance. And then sell it off when the new models are released and one of them catches your eye. With the price hike and the scarcity of sports models, it’s better to buy now...

Fair point...was looking for sometime for the Daytona ceramic but the price premium doesnt make sense to me...

The height of the case adds to the toolish character anyway. Grab it like you stole it, mate!

Done! My new preciousssss...

I find that once bracelet is adjusted to fit properly, the watch is just so nice on the wrist...earlier concerns regarding size clearly unfounded..for me at least
