Thoughts on SkyD sizing?

Haven’t pulled the trigger yet but am on the edge. Please be honest

I don't think you actually wear your watch on that part of your wrist do you?

Looks good. If anything looks a smidge too tight.

How does the case height feel for you when wearing a long sleeve shirt?

I imagine it’ll be okay under a dress shirt. I wear my ROO with a dress shirt and it somewhat slides under a French cuff, but not button cuffs so this should be fine.

My wrist bone doesn’t protrude out much so most watches on bracelet slide a bit but not much where it’s noticeable

Looks too low on the wrist. Pull it up a little and it will be fine.

I have a small wrist too. Unless the lugs are overhanging your wrist, it should be ok. Also, I could care less if someone thinks it’s too big. I really love the complications on the SkyD so the watch is perfect for me.

I wish you the best on your decision.

I guess this photo won't show my wrist position well but it's a great watch. Fit is comfortable on my 7.5" wrist.

That watch is sick. Look, I’m a member of the watch size police but I think this watch works on my 6.5, it’s not small by any means but not lug overhang. If you don’t mind some presence I think that’s tops

This is said perfectly. I also have 6.75 inch wrist. Love the way it fits. Just the right amount of heft.

I don,t think that is the best position to wear it. I tried one with a strap and it was very comfortable.

The skydweller is a bold watch with the a sophisticated annual calendar, dual time zone, and command bezel. The everose / rhodium dial is a very nice combination.

Here's a comparison with my 116503 Daytona. It fees big for me even for my 7.5 wrist

Wow that difference looks huge! The 116503 actually measures 38.6mm diagonally while the Sky measures 42mm.

Just wow.

Shows how the Daytona wears small and the SkyD wears big.

Can you post another pic with the position of the 2 watches switched? Would love to see that.

Sorry can't do that because after trying the Sky, I decided it's not my cup of tea so I walked away.

It is not a dress watch so size doesn't matter. Looks good on the OP

Looks great. I'm skinny but I tried on a TT and it sat perfectly. I think a lot of it is about how you feel. If you think it doesn't fit, it never will. If you think it does, or you don't care, it will look and feel great.
