Thoughts about a SD43 on a 6 inch wrist?

As the title implies I 'm thinking about getting the Arf sd43. My only concern is my wrist size. Maybe someone with a similar wrist size can chime in. Cheers :)

It will look too big, however people like wearing big watches. It also sits high on the wrist.

Hulk is 6 digit, 116610. I was referring to older version which is 5 digit subs.
Personally I don't like anything above 40mm...

My bad missed that. A relative has a gen 16610 which I've tried. Fits better but I prefer ceramic bezel and general design.

Mate this is supposed to be a flame-free zone :cryingbadly:

That was very flame free.

It really depends on the shape of your 6 inch wrist. I have a SD43 and could try it on my 10 year-old daughter but it would be better if you posted a picture of you wearing a 40+ inch watch. As previously noted, for me it’s an issue of how high it sits on the wrist and the weight of the watch.

As a guy with an 8.25" wrist... I thought the SD43 was too big. I sold it on due to that fact.
Look at classic 5 digit submariners, they're the best imo. Combo them with a Ginault braclet, and you've got the best watch available!

Here's my wrist with an Arf Hulk.

Go for it! I think wrist shape is WAY more important than size. I have a six and a smidge inch wrist and I smash everything out of the park. Go for it!
