Diver on a 7.5inch wrist

Hi All

Anyone got a Diver who has 7.5inch wrist that could post a couple of pic for me to see how it looks?

Thnaks

You have nothing to worry about.
I'm sure you could easily wear 44mm with that size.

No problem, only under 7 inches and it depends on your wrist shape and overall build etc.

Can't help you on the pic but have tried on both the SS diver and ceramic diver and the watch fits my 7.5 wrist just fine. You can also pull off the 44, as I have tried the 44 RG as well. My wrist is on the flat side for reference.

The thing you should be aware of is weight. Make sure you are comfortable with the heft, as the size is of little issue on a 7.5 wrist. It's truly a piece that should be tried on in person. Looks better than in pictures but is much more substantial than a sub rolex.

Thanks. I can handle heft as I have a Breitling steelfish and Pam 111. I am actually thinking of trading my SubC ND plus cash for a diver due to 40mm being too small for me. 42mm is probably my sweet spot. I also like the fact that if you get the bracelet you almost have 2 different watches.

How do you find the height if worn with a dress shirt?

I had a Diver and Steelfish, both very similar, you will be fine.

It's roughly same height as your 111, so would be about the same with a shirt sleeve.

It's about as large as you'd want under a dress shirt but totally doable IMHO.

7.5 inches would be the perfect wrist size.

Here's mine - 7" wrist


You have to check out the ceramic Diver too, great finish & durability against scratches is a great combo - looks pretty cool too😄

Those pics have got me very twitchy !!!!!

Ok - given the collection I have (in the signature line), I would probably need to trade 2 plus cash to get a diver. Which ones??

I'd keep the sub, speedy, and DJ. Anything else is negotiable!

I'd trade IWC and PAM, but keep 3 Tom mentioned.

OK. I have been offered a trade on the PAM 111 and the IWC plus $4,200 for a mint Diver.

I know this is in the AP section, but try and give me some impartial feedback on whether you feel this is a good trade.

Leaves me the two Rolexes for smart dress, suits etc , speedmaster is my beater and Breitling and (potentially) a Diver for casual.

Does anyone wear the diver with suits or smart clothes?

What series is Diver, and how old are the PAM and IWC and in what condition are they (I assume all pieces being discussed here have B&P, if not please correct me)...

Look on chrono24 for comparison prices.

Who is the dealer offering this deal? They may have a rep for good px or not.

Diver is 2013 (not sure what series). PAM 111 in Nov 2013. IWC is 2014. Both have B&P. Panerai come with Bracelet as well. IWC also has a genuine strap as well as the mesh bracelet. Both are mint condition.

Seller is beyond question. Have dealt with him before

Not a great deal imo, at least after looking at a quick cross check on watchrecon.com and particularly when factoring in cost of the extra hardware.
