Seems to be one of the more commonly asked questions. I wonder why Rolex doesn't list case thickness in the specifications, along with the other dimensions

Sky Dweller is 42 mm thickness = 14.1 mm (IRL it looks big !)

Sea-Dweller 4000 /16600 (149gr) & 116600 (173gr) both 15,0 mm thick.

So if you can wear a subc you can wear it as it is shorter lug to lug

Will need to try one on... I like the SS blue dial a lot, but it needs to be well proportioned (not like DDII).

Pretty surprising thickness for a dress watch. I guess that's why it looks large in most wrist pics

Dear 50 peso, if you are asking about thickness as you are thinking of getting a skydweller and you are used to a day date it is quite a bit thicker but the surprising thing that effects comfort (at least for me) is the weight! I have a PM skydweller so it’s even worse but it took months before I stopped focussing on how heavy it was! Trying on for 10 mins isn’t a problem but after an hour or so you will notice, I can wear a full gold watch and not even feel it after the skydweller.

I’ll second this. My YG SkyDweller is incredibly heavy. It feels like true quality on the wrist, but the weight will definitely put a few people off.
