Icon20 195mm wrist.

Hello to everyone in this forum, this is my very first post.

After considering different brands, I've decided that Rolex is for me.

But their line is so diverse, I really don't know what to choose?

I'm NOT A PRO-DIVER, but I do like outdoor sports and events, so the least of my worries has to be the watch I'm wearing.

I want a watch that is dependable and perfect for any occasion!

My wrist is exactly 195mm (7.67716535 inches) in girth and 65mm (2.55905512 inches) at the top of the wrist, definitely not a small wrist.

Which line of Rolex would you recommend to me?

Thank you,

Xafaro

Go with the new Explorer I, at 39mm it's going to fulfill all of your needs!

I used to own an Omega 300M Chronometer 2220.80.00 but at 41mm and a helium scape valve was too much of a drag, specially if you DON'T DIVE!

Are you sure you're not off by several millionths of an inch? It could make a difference.

No, I think this laser meter is "dead-on-b***s" accurate!

Actually I have been considering the Explorer I, both 36 and 39mm!

Anyone care to elaborate a little more on them?

Thank you.

I have the 36mm model and it fits me fine. Of course, my wrist measures only 7.00000001379 inches.

Your best bet is to try several models on at your nearest Rolex dealer. Unfortunately Google will only give you the distance to 1/10 of a mile though.

Since I have a 7.2436395399" wrist, I can get away with wearing anything from 40mm to 44mm at the moment....
