It only took 7 years..

[Al1988]

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.

Did you end up removing the diver extension? I did on mine and it made it SO much more comfy

I did not. I mostly found success with changing where on my wrist I have the watch sit.

It sure is. I'd have been done with it by seven months. Glad it all worked out in the end.

Please share the specifics of your sizing and placement.

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.
