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?

Same wrist size and I have tried the TT and black dial at my AD. Unfortunately, both were already sold. It looks just about perfect. For me, 50mm lug to lug is the max for wrist my size.

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.

I have a 6.5 flat wrist and just tried on the Skydweller today.
Fits awesome.

How's this, Sea Dweller, Sky Dweller, and Daytona grouped together? ? I wear mine comfortably with a 6.5in wrist.

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.
