does my SD4k look too small for my wrist opinions please...

Hey Guys,

On Saturday i sold my 16613ln sub, which was getting no wrist time, and also flipped my GMTIIc, which has been my daily wearer, for a SD4k. I think the sea dweller is a beautiful watch, but for the last 2 days i cant get out of my mind how much smaller it wears on my wrist compared to the Gmt.

Can i have your opinions on what you think, i have a 7 inch wrist..am i driving myself mad over nothing or does it look too small for me?

yes, it is visually smaller, but doesn't wear smaller. Wear it for a couple of weeks at least and then reassess.

To me it looks just right.

Too small? No way. Anything larger and it would be almost too big for my tastes.

I think it looks perfect. Your eyes are playing tricks on you. Good fit all around. Give it time and you wont notice any difference.

I have a 7" wrist and the SDc feels right at home. For various reasons I haven't pulled the trigger (dare I say "yet"). So I stick with the GMTc. Otherwise I think it's a Slam dunk beauty and the best diver of the line up. Congrats and let it grow on you.

I think you will get used to it in a short space of time,two days isn't long enough to draw any conclusions though.I toyed with buying this piece myself before falling for the BLNR.The GMT IIc does wear bigger than it's actual size,so it is just a case of readjusting.I have a 7.5inch wrist,and whilst I can pull off the DSSD,the 14060m I had didn't look small,it is just what you have got used to.

Wow. Small?

No. Not even a little.

Possibly too big.

No not too small, but looks like its sitting a little high on your wrist in the second pic. If you wear dress shirts on the daily the you might have an issue.

I think it looks just right.

My wrist is 7.25" and the fit is perfect. I felt my PO 8500 was too big at 45,5mm. The 40mm imho hits the sweet spot for our wrist size.

Looks great! Take a picture from further away so we see your entire arm (don't worry about the watch being in focus).

Oh heck no its perfect, I have an 8" wrist and I love the way mine fits. Wear it for a while and you will see. You have the better of the three watches by far. Congrats on that beauty.

Cheers...

Looks fine, I went through the same thing and flipped mine but I have 7 3/4 wrist - still, I wish I would have given it a little more time. I think it's more of a feels smaller on the wrist than anything. Give it a couple weeks. Looks awesome!! Congrats!!!
