I wore my skydweller for the visit as well as an Apple Watch Series 7.

Although the Deepsea is made of titanium I did not find it feeling as though it was less weight then other large watches I own.

So who won ?

Doesn't look all that big next to the Apple

I was thinking cartoonish (at least, on me), but yeah. I had an Omega Ploprof 1200m mostly for its uniqueness more than anything else. That watch is a beast. This just takes it to a whole new level. My SDDS is as big as I want to go at this point.

The more pics I see of this watch…..the more I realize that it would look ridiculous on my 6.5 inch wrist …… and yet now I want it more ��

Well here it is on my 6" (154mm) wrist, taken 2 days ago. It's big but not heavy. Fun to see what it was like!

I’ll call it a tie.

kieselguhr · 4 December 2022, 04:44 AM

Considering how a camera’s focal length affects the represented size of the watch in a wrist shot. I say you must be the size of Paul Wight aka the big show. Only people your size could possibly wear the challenge

Hemdog · 4 December 2022, 04:48 AM

Look at it next to a skydweller- looks like a skyscraper :)

Angryinch · 4 December 2022, 04:58 AM

Can't believe how small it makes the Sky D look LOL.

This is one of the first pics Ive seen where a guy can pull it off and it suits them. DO IT

diracpoint · 4 December 2022, 05:25 AM

I think it looks great! 👍

No need to overthink this. If you like the watch for its engineering awesomeness, and if you are comfortable wearing big watches, do it!!!

It's on the limit for you. What size is your wrist?

Masteryacht · 4 December 2022, 05:43 AM

I’ll say it again….cartoonish.

Angryinch · 4 December 2022, 05:59 AM

Too many people are looking at this watch with the logic that it's supposed to be some picture queen like a Daytona, GMT, etc.

This is a display of engineering and should be worn as such. I think some guys get hurt feelings that their wrist doesn't allow them to wear, similar to the YM2.

swexlin · 4 December 2022, 06:50 AM

I stopped into my AD this afternoon for a chat. We discussed this watch. The don't even have a display model, and he said, so far, no one has expressed interest in obtaining one.

I'd say the real winner is the Rolex Marketing Dept.

Not knocking it but omg that thing is to big. Unless you have Mark McGwire forearms

I was searching the “greys “ for this model last night and found 3 sellers priced from $41k all the way to $65k. Has any member purchased grey closer to retail ?

Did you ask the ADs? This model is not a crowd-pleaser, at least based on the response from this forum, so it may be possible to get it directly from the ADs. 🍻

AaronRolex · 12 December 2022, 03:16 AM

Checked with several authorized retailers and it is not available. Do you have a source ?

Watchsprings · 12 December 2022, 02:57 AM

It makes the Sky D look like a DJ36.
