I have a 6.5 inch and wear a Sub no date ceramic. I find it fits perfectly even with the maxi case. I also wear a Tudor Black Bay 41mm and BB Bronze 43mm comfortably.

I have a 6.75 inch wrist. I had a 14060M which I wore for a while. Currently have the 16600 which I like better due to the increased wrist presence. A little more weight and SEL.

I think 14060 is all anyone really needs heh. But with my 6.375" wrist, any diver 40mm and under fits ok so far...the black bay is a bit of a stretch but I think still ok.

6.75 here
SD43 or SubC (Lee - if the Sky Dweller works on your wrist, the SD43 will too)

The Tudor BB fits my 6.5" wrist I think quite well. I thought the Pelagos was fine too when I tried it on. I haven't tried any of Rolex offerings greater than 40mm. I felt like the 42mm EXII was a little big, but maybe just not used to those proportions on a fixed bezel watch.

[QUOTE=HogwldFLTR;7896559]For those with smaller wrists what are you wearing for a Rolex dive watch. For me it's been my 14060. Looking at other options.
Lee, I'll be honest...the new SD43 is my new favorite diver. |

I never would have believed it from the specs, but the SD43 actually could work - it looked good on my 6.75" wrist. Just depends on personal style overall I think.

After falling deeply in love with my GMT2 Pepsi, I've come to realize that 40mm is a great size for a watch even on my 7.75" wrists. For a dive watch now I'd go with either a Sub or an SD4K. I lean towards the SD4K. Alternately, the new Omega Diver 300M in black, with it's 41.5m case, is a contender.
A date window is an essential complication for me and I much prefer Omega's iteration to Rolex's.

Thanks for all the replies; I have dive watches up to 44mm including Tudor, Omega, and Breitling (Super Ocean X-Plus) which I wear for water activities. I never felt really comfortable with the Sub C. Maybe it's time to look at the SD4K and SD43 and see what comes.

SD4000 looks/wears smaller than the subc
Well worth checking out!
