Sure. Freshly taken. This is the best I can do because it’s getting dark. ( dusk now )
I hope it helps

I might have to try on a skydweller. Doesn't look unmanageable. Thanks for the photos.

I have a white dial, TT Skydweller. I love the way the watch wears except I have lost a bunch of weight and I am just not small enough to remove the link yet. The watch is just too loose 75% of the time.

Size comparison of SS SkyDweller vs...

On the wrist
SD43 seats a little higher do to the back case protruding more and the straighter shape of the case and lugs



The Sky Dweller
The lugs are curved and hugs the wrist nicely ( shaped more like a Yacht mater or Daytona )


The GMT it just much thinner than both of them. Similar fit to the submariner


The SkyDweller is on the left and the SeaDweller is on the right.
The back case is protruding much more on the Sea Dweller and very little on the Sky Dweller


As you see the Sky Dweller is not that much thinner than the Sea Dweller but because of the case and lug shape it hugs my wrist way better.
The GMT firs extremely well.

Adjust the micro adjustment inside the clasp one position back (tighter) . That’s only 1.5 mm adjustment I believe.

If the SD43 fits you and feels good on your wrist the Sky Dweller will fit 10 times better.

Yea it totally fits and wears well, it just is uncomfortable because of the protruding caseback. Skyd seems flat and looks like it would work really well!

Really appreciate the pics thanks
