DSSD Cameron vs. Skymaster

How do the physical dimensions compare for these two?

Thickness. You won't be able to wear a Sea Dweller under a cuffed shirt. Sky Dweller will slide under.

Whoops, my goof, meant sky dweller. Thanks for the replies. Tried on a Cameron and it is too big for me so I figured the sky dweller wouldn't be much smaller.

A better Apple’s to apples comparison might be to try the SS43. Wears about the same as a SkyDweller (slightly taller), but it’s in keeping with the diver theme.

It is smaller and it wears smaller and more refined. Lugs are totally different and the chunkiness and weight of the DSSD is a big difference. You need to try one on

Ok, now we're getting somewhere.
IMO, if you think the DSSD is too big then on the balance of probability the Skydweller will be also just different.

Putting thickness aside, the thing to note is the Skydweller is one of the very biggest watches Rolex makes when measuring lug to lug length.
If your wrist isn't well north of 7" and flat. There's every chance the watch will wear you if there's any chance of lug overhang, which is not the way it should be with you wearing the watch.

i got the 126660 and suggest you go that route if you are a bigger guy, it has real presence wear it daily if not wearing my garmin for training. Also James Cameron is likely to be discontinued soon so great investment if you can source one.
