For me its too big...just my personal taste

ocwatching · 17 January 2019, 01:25 AM

it wears bigger and tall on a 6.5" wrist...and I passed on blue dial

I always appreciated what Stanley Marcus (of Neiman-Marcus) said about their store's obligation to the customer. He said that it was more important to tell a customer when something didn't look good on them then to say it did just to sell it.

In keeping with that concept of integrity, as much as I love the SkyD, IMHO, it frequently looks too big on very small wrists. Very similar to the Explorer II 42, one of my favorite watch faces of all time.

If you're questioning it yourself, don't anguish over it. Get something you love...

How big is oyur wrist?

I'm on the small side and for me, it's huge.

Sublovin · 17 January 2019, 03:09 AM

I like it just fine . Good size

Stevec14 · 17 January 2019, 05:20 AM

It’s not too bad as a size. Like said before, the larger the watch the more important it is for it to be sized properly as it will flop. More important is if you like a very large fluted bezel. It’s not for shrinking violets and Gets plenty of attention. Personally I like it a lot.

jjmack · 17 January 2019, 10:05 AM

Is it on the larger side? Yes

Is it a little flasher than I’d typically wear or be drawn to? Yes

But I absolutely love the complication and it’ll be most useful as a daily.

I tried on one with a strap, very comfortable, that could maybe be an alternative for you. Beautiful watch.

That’s how you want to wear it, perfect fit on Johny. I have to flip it due to size but I love the SkyD more than my Daytona for the complications. It is a lot more useful for everyday.

Ive seen this watch look ridiculous on some shots here. This is a piece that REQUIRES a larger wrist. I saw a smaller guy (5’6”, 130ish) wearing one at an AD and I thought it looked awful. It looked like a plate on his wrist.

Muxi · 17 January 2019, 01:17 PM

It’s a bit big.

SS Oyster · 17 January 2019, 06:56 PM

It’s way bigger than the PM SkyDweller LOL

Sub c , datejust 41, explorer 39mm, omega seamaster

Lug to lug is 1mm larger than the Sub-C, ........................... 0.0393 inches

Standard pice of printer paper is .097mm, .......................... 0.0038 inches

To my eyes they look big, but it is a personal preference.

EEpro · 14 June 2021, 09:21 AM

It's the perfect size for me

Hope to score one someday.

henrylee · 14 June 2021, 09:37 AM

Too big for me

novae500 · 14 June 2021, 09:37 AM

I’m waiting for my SA to get me a white or blue oyster steel Skydweller. I like the looks and size of it. My DeepSea Seadweller is a beast and heavy. Def know it’s on my wrist when I wear it.

7.5-7.75” wrist and I can’t have it any other way. Cant speak for how it wears on smaller wrists but I can speak on how much attention this watch gets. I don’t pay attention but my fiancé tells me all the time how people stare at it. Sometimes a bit scary I suppose.

I’ve had a datejust 36mm, a 40mm bluesy, a 41mm datejust, a two tone seadweller and now my skydweller which was always my grail. After the seaD and the skyD I can’t even go back to a sub. I tried the new bluesy and it looked tiny on my wrist. Shame because the bluesy dial is amazing to look at. Maybe someday they’ll make a TT seadweller with a blue dial.
