Explorer II vs Sky Dweller on 7 inch wrist

Hi everyone, I'm seriously considering Sky Dweller in Jubilee bracelet. I own Explorer II (216570) and think that's the limit in Rolex. SkyD is more thicker and almost same lug to lug and if wearing as dress watch, that might not sit well on my 7 inch wrist.

Anyone own both or any feedback for around 7 inch wrists? Thank you.

My wrist is just a tad under 7"s and the sky dweller looks too large and thick on my wrist. I'd personally never buy one but some people like larger watches.

My wrist is just at 7 inches. Depends on the shape of your wrist. Mine is flatter. I feel like I’m able to get away with a watch the size of the Sky-Dweller. Maybe some might disagree!

Get it. It wears smaller and better on the jubilee too. Congrats in advance. What dial color are you considering?

I wear both on a 6.5" oval wrist.Both are very comfortable and fit nicely. The Jubilee on the Sky Dweller makes for a really nice wearing watch.

I think it will work when the bracelet is adjusted properly. Go try it on and know for sure.

It will depend on your wrist shape to a certain extent. Usually 7 inches is ample for the SkyD, mind. Always be cognizant of the fact that there’s a short period after going from lighter to heavier or smaller to larger in which you’re conscious of the change, but in my case less than an hour after switching the mental disparity vanishes and I think nothing more of it.
