20cm = 7.87 inches

Stock bracelet at max length usually fits perfectly

Except for the DD40s president bracelet ..too short .Saved a bit of gold or platinum on that one , hey Rolex ?? Caught you out !!

I've seen his hands listed at 16 inches but the wrists are listed as 11 inches. He was also regularly billed as 7'4" or even 7'5" tall but was officially measured at around 6'10"...so who knows.

And someone will say 36mm is the best size for him.

7.75 - 8” wrist depending on when I measure. Prefer a watch somewhat snug, so I love easylink and glidelock.

He was a legit 7 feet tall in his prime, he was robbed o fa few inches after back surgery and bad posture in his later years. The most impressive thing about him was his overall size, there have been taller men to talk this planet but i doubt anybody has ever been bigger.

Ok, but sorry..he did not have 16 inch wrists. Forearms yes, hands yes...but a 16 inch wrist would make his hands about a foot wide. They were big but not that big.

I have 16 inch forearms , so looking at them it would seem mind blowing to imagine that but who knows, the man was a freak of nature.

Rather than starting a new thread, I found this one and thought I'd rehash. I'm 6'5 and pushing 8 inches in the wrist. I have tried other 40mm watches and I just feel they are not proportional to my overall frame. From a Rolex perspective, is the 43 or 44mm Sea Dweller my only option? Does any other Rolexs wear "bigger" if that makes sense? Maybe the 42mm Explorer II?

It's so hard to know since no ADs are open in my area and, even if they are, apparently will have zero to little stock, at least what I can tell from reading this forum over the last few weeks. So, I feel like I will have to buy online, without really knowing if it is a "fit" or not.

Thanks all!
