haha, I have to say this dial is actually flawless. Even the crown aligns correctly when screwed down. This one is a gem. But yes, I'lll post some more pics to prove it and make all other dials seem inferior.

Is your sub a TT or full PM?
Thank you!
116613LB so TT. I tried a PM SD on a strap when they first came out. My wrist is about 7.5 inches and I felt it was a touch top heavy with the PM on strap. Be interested to see how this looks and feels in SS with bracelet. Will take a hard look at the SD next time I can find one to try on. My collection is Sub heavy so making a move like this would make sense.

I agree about the PM Sky-D on strap. I really really love the WG with black dial on black strap, but it's simply not a comfortable watch (to me). Way too top heavy and out of proportions.

The bracelet on the SS line is incredible. I think it's 22mm vs 21mm on the PMs. It's really incredible and very well balanced.

I'm not sure if the TT version have the same width bracelet, and obviously the weight distribution will be different (probably better). But it might be readily available to try on at an AD and at least you might be able to get an idea of the width and comfort of the bracelet.

Who knows, since you like a TT sub, maybe you'll like the TT Sky-D. Could probably have one within the next couple weeks!

I tried a wg / leather on and although a beautiful watch, did not feel as well balanced on the wrist as my SS

A little hard to see the time quickly in my opinion.

definitely a little busy in the dial, but I was just holding it up to my wife's 36mm DJ and the Sky-d blows it away in terms of legibility IMO. I think for fairy busy dial it's executed incredibly.

I hear ya. I have a 7" wrist and probably wouldn't feel comfortable with it if my wrist was much smaller. I think 6.75 would probably be the smallest you could go comfortably. That said, it wears incredibly well for a relatively big watch.
