Another wrist size thread - SD43

Another wrist size thread - SD43

I love the look of SD43 '' 'and the red text is the top of the cake. There is a lot of focus on clock size on forums, and sometimes I ask myself if I should swap it in a blro, hulk etc ....

Wrist size of about 6.5 inches.
How do you think this looks?

Perfect. I think the 43mm should be the miniumum case size for Rolex.

Looks good. Do you generally wear watches that high on the wrist or mainly the SD43 due to the size? I also have a 6.5" wrist and have wondered how it'd look on my wrist.

Looks great!

I have 6.4 inches wrist size, but I still wear DSSD (44mm).

If I love the watch, I still want to wear even it looks a bit too big for my wrist size.

Anyone ever notice that having hairier arms gives you the opportunity to wear bigger watches if you have small wrists? Comparison between the two above wrists shots is a great example. Personally I think OP's fit look great, but a 43 mm would def look too big on me and I have slightly bigger (6.75 in) hairless arms. I guess the trade-off here is that you're going to be getting hair pinched in bracelets all the time.

Looks really good. I haven't had a desire to venture above 40-41 myself, but may have to try one of these on.

My arms are about as hairy as they come. Never had any problem with hair pinching, and I wear my Sub day and night.

The arm hair makes it look like your wrist is 9"

My general rule of thumb is if the lugs don't overhang your wrist, you are good to go...so, you're good to go!

I think it looks great. My wrist is 7 and mine fits well also. The DSSD doesn’t look good on smaller wrists because of the height but the SD43 looks excellent.

The SD43 really got the proportions right for the modern sports watch fan !! To the OP watch looks just fine, even better in actuality as pictures taken by oneself always tend to exaggerate the size.

I am surprised by the great fit on a 6.5 inch wrist!

I find it very comfortable, but a little unfamiliar with the 3 extra millimeters in height, but this I quickly get used to

The plan is to have it in rotation with 3 other watches

Yes, I do it with all my watches, I think it's the most comfortable because of the wrist bone

Looks good. It’s all about the lug to lug with smaller wrists anyway.

It looks great. Actually looks a little too snug on a couple shots. As long as it’s comfortable though.
