Icon20 Rolex Sub wrist size ??

Good morning all. Got asked a question the other day and I thought I might run it by the forum.

"I have a 9" wrist and like the sub 16610. How many extra links will I need to buy?"

Well I asked if he liked the 116610 or the 116660? He said he did sort of like them. But I am not even sure how big of wrist these watches fit.

Thanks for any info.

My Wrist is probably about that and I have 14 links on my 16613 (including the 2 for the divers extension) I had to buy 2 extra links on what my watch came with.

Thanks for your response. I am trying to calculate. A full link (6 screws) 16610 looks to fit a 7-3/4 wrist. Each link approximately 3/8". It seems it would take 5 links to fit a 9" wrist to middle pin on buckle.

Not wearing my 16613 today but will confirm when I get home in 3 hours. Measured my wrist though and its 8 3/4 inches.

Thanks,
