Hi, I am thinking about buying Rolex SD43 but I am afraid that it might be too big for my small wrist. I actually have AP Diver and think it's maximum I could do.
I really like it on my wrist though. Does anybody have on-wrist comparison photos? Thank you!

I have a small wrist, and an AP Diver really never worked for me. I did pick up a SD43, and I just felt the bracelet was a bit too big (wide) however the watch head was not overly massive. It was too much watch for me and sold it, but I thought the dimensions were not bad at all for a "43mm" I say if you have something like a 6.75" wrist you should be OK. However it is a big watch so if you are 6.5" or smaller I would say to sit this one out and go for a Sub.

I have a 6.75in wrist and I owned the SD43 and I have 2 different AP Divers. The SD actually wears smaller I think

i feel the SD43 a bit heavier on top but bracelet is comfortable, while diver feels more light but surrounds your wrist more with the rubber
Hope i helped, i also have a skinny arm and the SD is maybe too much for my size, but diver feels ok
