Skydweller size comparison
Does anyone have a picture comparing the size and thickness of a skydweller to either a dj36 or gmt ii? Ive only been able to find a comparison to a dssd.
And for anyone that has one do you think it would be too big for a 7in wrist? |

7” then 6.5” a ladies 26 would overwhelm. Might try a cocktail watch. These are not fitness/training equipment, they are extreme depth life saving devices. Please don’t treat them in a frivolous manner.

It's a lot bigger than those other watches from both perspectives. If you have flat, 7 inch wrist it should work, but I wouldn't make it your formal watch. Will be too big IMO

I do not think it will be too big on a 7" wrist. My wrist is 6.75" - when I tried one on I thought I could get away with wearing one but it was a little too large for my personal preference.

Skydweller size comparison
It depends a lot on how flat your wrist is. I have a mostly flat 6.75 in wrist and it’s the absolute biggest I will go. All I care about is lug to lug for size and 50-51mm lug to lug height is my max which I think this one is right at 50. The lugs curve more than any other Rolex model I have worn which also helps. Don’t let birds eye view shots mislead you either. They always make a watch appear bigger than it’s perceived naturally on your wrist.

I don’t mean to be, well, a bit funny, but what are you actually trying to say here ?

that looks really good! What do you think about the thickness? Does it slide easily under your sleeve?

I have zero problem with it going comfortably under a sleeve. It is the perfect daily in my opinion. Has a gmt function for my travel, discrete annual calendar so I only have to manually adjust the date once a year and can be dressed up or down. I like a little more heft I have learned from my SD43. The SD43 ruined a lot of watches for me because of how much I like it. I split time between the two pretty evenly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Here’s a pic of the three watches you mentioned. I think th GMT looks bigger in this pic than in reality compared to the others I have a 7 3/4 wrist and I love the Sky Dweller, but if I could perfect it I would make it a bit smaller.

My Sea Dweller is the 40mm; a bit smaller wearing than a Sub C.
