Deepsea on small wrists

[S2000_driver]

So I was at the Rolex boutique in Century City last weekend and tried on the Deepsea. It did not look as awkward as I anticipated on my 6.5" wrist!

What do you guys think is the "minimum" wrist size to wear the Deepsea without it looking funny?

Please post pics if available. Thanks in advance.

No min wrist size. It's all about what looks good to you!

I'm not sure if we should set such limits.

I've seen slender women wearing Subs and Daytonas and they look fine to me, not the least bit self-conscious. It you feel comfortable wearing it, then go for it.

as long as you have flat wrists big watches are not a problem.

i also have 6.5" wrist but pams fit just fine.

I think the shape of your wrist will be another factor as a more square wrist can get away with a bigger size. In my opinion for the deep sea anything less that 7" your better off with the Sub C.

Go for it!

I too had the same impression when I tried it on. I have a 7 1/4" wrist and thought it worked perfectly. I would not think a 6 1/2" wrist would be an issue. I love the diameter, but I was not so wild about the height off of the wrist.

The taper on the bracelet is the other factor to consider. IMHO the less links that are in your bracelet then the more extreme the taper appears and for me the taper on the deepsea is already too much.

I dont want to sound rude but 5" are you sure? isnt the width of the watch plus endlinks over 1 1/2 inches and the clasp almost 1 1/2 inches that leaves an inch of bracelet either side?

agreed. in most cases, the diameter of the DSSD isnt the problem.... until i look at it sideways and realise how tall the thick the watch is (and i have a 7.25" wrist)

There's a picture of Charlize Theron wearing a Deap sea on Jakes Rolex Blog. It looks prettuy good on her

I agonised over the size & weight of a Sub on my 6 1/2" wrist but only in relation to how comfortable it would be and whether it would flop around and tend to rotate. How it looks to others is irrelevant as nobody takes any notice. I eventually decided that it looked good to me and that with a tight bracelet (I like tight) it also felt good.
I will say that I think the way it is adjusted (how many links on which side) probably makes a fair bit of difference to how it feels on the wrist and whether it tends to travel. Wrists are neither oval nor rectangular in section and where the clasp sits seems likely to be significant. This is much more likely to be relevant on a small wrist than on a large one where increased width and thickness spread the weight & size over a bigger area.

I think as long as your wrist is at least 3 to 3.5 inches you should be fine. That way you can take out 6 links and wear it comfortably--3 on each side to keep it even.

I tried on my small wrist, and I didn`t find it`s size to be the problem. Height of the case was something that I didn`t like, but it`s really impressive watch, and if it smiles on you, you should go for it!

If it puts a smile on your face ..Go for it! don;t worry what others think.

People use to say my Sea Dweller 4000ft was too chunky. and now the same is buying them up. You cannot win.

that is correct :( , i have to take out all my daytona links until none left (both side)

It is all about your personal preferences and perceptions. No one can tell you what to think.

And the wrist size isn't the only part of the equation, the size/shape of your body counts as well.

Seeing a person with very small stature and thin body/bone structure running around with a giant dive watch looks a bit comical IMO. If you do it while diving it is one thing, but downtown... Just my 2 cents.

If I was of smaller stature with fine wrist, I'd be wearing 40mm JLC's all day long! :-)

[ersnyder]

I'll see people wearing some of the 50+mm watches and, IMO, they look too large. But not many others seem to be noticing or caring. So, if you like the watch, go for it!

i just saw a lady wearing a pam. and it didnt look too good. i mean if she likes to wear it its cool but the strap looked like a triangle instead of a circle.

kind of clumsy looking
