Thoughts on SkyD sizing?

[214270Explorer]

Reign, I have a Sky-Dweller and a 6.5" to 6.75" flattish arm bone. "Flattish" is VERY important here.

Mine is worn on the arm below that sticky-out bone, whatever the heck it is called. I do not and cannot understand how anyone can wear a watch up on the back of the hand, which is actually the "wrist." (Boggles my mind, but to each their own.)

With my watch, originally two links were removed. The watch fit OK, but seemed to get a little crooked [slanted] now and then. Eventually I was always "fiddling" with it, which indicated to me an unsatisfactory fit. I could also put more of my little finger between the bracelet and my arm than I was used to.

Next, I removed a third link and adjusted the 5mm extension to be pulled open. That gave me just a very slightly tighter fit and all was well. I think the bracelet got tighter by 0.6" if I calculated correctly.

So some playing around may help. (Again, "flattish" arm bone. If yours is round, pretty much forget the Sky-Dweller, IF you want to wear it on the part of the arm that I do.)

The bracelet hangs off the ends of the watch head, almost 'straight down' the sides of my arm bones and then wraps nicely under the arm.

I could not be happier with the way this larger watch now fits me. I'd have to say that this is the largest Rolex I could wear.

The lugs really do not overhang the sides of my arm bone, but it is quite close.

You HAVE to see for yourself how a particular watch fits, and if you do not at least give that a try, you may very well miss out on something that you could be very happy with.

I do not see from the photo where the watch does not fit nicely where you want to have it.

What I love about this watch is the amazing technology with the 9001 Saros Annual Calendar technology. Plus it is a rather new model from Rolex.

It is also a good GMT watch [no SS-chasing fiasco's] and --ahem -- "theoretically" you would only need to set a portion of it (the date) once a year on March 1st.

By the way, post #16 shows the same Sky-Dweller as mine, except my month indicator is red (newer issue?)

Exactly! More folks need to realize this!

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

I believe the month indicator is indeed red, just the way the picture has been taken makes it look darker.

It is comfortable BUT I do find my GMT II to be more comfortable and as such my SD is really only worn on special occasions.

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.
