I’m looking to add a diver to my small collection. This is how my Batman fits my wrist. Do you think a SD43 will be too big?

TickTockChuck · 21 April 2018, 09:47 AM

Looks like you have enough wrist real estate to accommodate a SD43. But do try one on in person first to be sure. They are also thicker and sit higher than a GMT, if that's cool with you. Good luck! Cheers!

Brownb2110 · 21 April 2018, 09:49 AM

Looks like you’d have room....what’s your wrist size?

WEST HAM ROLEX · 21 April 2018, 09:49 AM

I have the GMT LN and have tried on the SD43

Believe it not it didn't feel much difference

Looking at your pic,,,no problem

RHIII · 21 April 2018, 09:50 AM

At the end of the day - it’s all personal preference.

I think it’s only around 7 inches.

Brownb2110 · 21 April 2018, 09:55 AM

Mines about 7 as well...AD let me try one on today they had gotten in (already spoken for). It fit perfect.

Jojo88 · 21 April 2018, 09:55 AM

Yes it’s bigger And heavy.

I rotate my watches... white Daytona C, BLNR, and Speedy MOTM... and kinda want something I can wear during in a more casual setting. The Daytona and Batman are kinda blingy. I feel like the all brush SD would be more low key.

watchmework · 21 April 2018, 09:58 AM

Looks like it will fit fine on your wrist but if you can, I’d try it on first.

brandrea · 21 April 2018, 10:00 AM

Looks to me like your wrist is a lot larger than 7”

You’re good to go, but of course, always best to try one on. I personally think the SD43 wears substantially different than your BLNR (which I owned as well).

I think it’s 7. I have one link out of the GMT, and the micro adjustments at the tightest setting

WAK4 · 21 April 2018, 10:02 AM

Definitely think size won't be an issue but best to try on for comfort.

Swiss Mad! · 21 April 2018, 10:04 AM

If it feels comfortable and you like it - buy it & enjoy it.
It does'nt matter what any one else thinks.

It will look great on your wrisy

gt0279a · 21 April 2018, 10:08 AM

My wrist is 7 1/4”

I was concerned about the size as well but think the SD43 works for me.

See how the BLNR and SD43 compare as I was able to try them both on:

This is a great side by side. Really gives me a good perspective of the size difference.

DoctorA · 21 April 2018, 10:47 AM

Looks like it would be perfect. The 40mm gmt is on the smaller side so the 43 should be perfect!

Jmbarrack · 21 April 2018, 11:12 AM

Based on your first picture, you can definitely carry the bigger size. There’s a lot of bracelet to go around on either side of that BLNR shot.

Approved

Singslinger · 21 April 2018, 11:32 AM

Looks like it would be a decent fit.

Best to try first though.

AK797 · 21 April 2018, 11:51 AM

Looks like you are pushing your wrist wider with your other arm because that GMT looks tiny for you.

zjd168 · 21 April 2018, 11:53 AM

no problem at all

SoCal_Batman · 21 April 2018, 12:05 PM

As others have said, best to try one on.

Hard_Six · 21 April 2018, 12:45 PM

Your wrist seems large enough IMO.

I was resting my iPhone on the top of my forearm. I think the watch looks larger if I take it from a closer up shot, but there’s definitely bracelet on both sides. This is another pic someone else took while wearing a ceramic sub.

yannis · 21 April 2018, 03:34 PM

It will look perfect!

Fletcher UK · 21 April 2018, 03:45 PM

My wrist is 6.5 and it fits great. It's not a huge watch by any means just chunky with wrist presence. Buy it
