It only took 7 years..
Have seen many posts about the SeaDweller 43mm from members who just couldn’t bond with theirs / found it to be uncomfortable to wear.
I’m pleased to report that after 7 years of having mine and never wearing it for more than an hour or two at a time, I’ve finally figured out a bracelet sizing & wrist position that makes mine not just comfortable, but my new daily wearer! Don’t lose hope fellow members. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I guess I am lucky, my SD43 fits my 8in wrist quite well, but others would benefit from your combined approach to getting the right fit. |

Fantastic watch and glad it works for you
I’ve had two go arounds with the same watch … tried all manner of bracelet adjustments, removing and installing the divers extension, etc etc. I finally had to concede that even though I think it’s the best looking diver in the catalogue, it just wasn’t comfortable on my wrist. I’m truly happy for those who find it comfortable because I still think it’s the nicest diver Rolex makes. It just doesn’t sit well with me |

This is the watch that gets the most of my wrist time. My wrist is 7.25-7.5" and I have found the most comfort by removing the diver's extension and moving the 1/2 link from the 12 o'clock side to the 6 o'clock side. From there, four grooves show (5 links plus end link at 12:00 and 4 1/2 links at 6:00. Hope this helps anyone still trying to find the perfect fit.
