Question: Leather Straps on Sky Dweller
326135 (discontinued model) brown leather straps
How small can you dial those in for? I have a 16 cm wrist / 6.5 inches I’ve never seen one in person, looking at buying one on forum and my only hold up is if the darn thing will fit. Does Rolex make different size leather straps/bands/bracelets? Several micro adjustments on clasp, I have no idea. On current oyster bracelet I have to remove two links and put it on center clasp micro adjustment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can’t give you an educated answer here unfortunately but would guess if you have to remove two links you could make this fit you. Toyed with the idea of buying One myself the sky dweller is such a great watch.

Sorta what I think- hard to find details on the forum of what size those original leather bands will tighten up to. Appreciate the input! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I know this: the 135 and the 235 have slightly different lugs. I have a brand new chocolate leather (alligator) band for a 135, but was set on buying a 235 and replacing the Oysterflex with leather... Be careful.

I have a 6.75” wrist and use the default leather size in the middle position. Yes there are adjustments on the clasp (you need a tool, I do it myself) with 5 positions. I think there are 3 sizes of leather but could be wrong. Fits like a dream, though I wished you could adjust it on the fly a but without tools.

You can always order smaller leather bands from Rolex. i did that for the Daytona on leather strap.

I had a 326135 chocolate and really loved the look on leather and to be honest still prefer the look to my blue dial 326934 however the watch weighs 180g and with the leather band can flop around a little which is why I used to use a rubber B strap which has a little more rigidity and allows you to get the watch wet. The other issue is no on the fly adjustment which is why if you like the look of the new OF Skydweller that's what I would get: 1) The OF makes the head sit better on the wrist 2) you have a small glide lock adjustment on the clasp which fixes the issues with the original but it doesnt look as nice as leather! I was wondering if I could purchase a custom alligator look rubber B to fit the new skydweller Hope this helps |

I have 6.6" wrist and try this model on, it looks pretty good.
If you have 16cm = 6.3", I think it's still probably OK.
