Mine is not big as well, this is how mine looks with a 114060. So I think you will be fine with a 43mm.

Damn that looks good on you. Yeah, I think I'll reevaluate, because I really do love the Seadweller....

I think you can handle it.
Funnily enough I'm comfortable wearing IWC 3777 and AP42mm ROOs but I'm hesitating on the SD43 hahaha
I have a 377717 too, maybe the bezel is slim, so the watch doesn't look that big until you put it side by side with a Sub etc.Damn that looks good on you. Yeah, I think I'll reevaluate, because I really do love the Seadweller....

I saw a lady wear a 116600 Seadweller today. And I thought, if this small wristed lady has the balls to wear a Seadweller, than I should say fuck it and get this SD43. Order placed and will let y'all know when I get QC and if anything stands out,
Hi Steve, thanks for the pix. These look really good.Die Kritik an der VSF kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Hier ein paar Fotos - eben bei praller Sonne aufgenommen. Auch die Bandanstöße finde ich hervorragend. Aber gut - es ist die neuste Serie von VSF. Die erste Serie kenne ich nicht.
I'm ordering a VSF from a TD based on ur great pix!
One question though, I see in my QC pic the bezel alignment is not 100% correct, eg. the pip triangle vs the triangle and minute marks on the dial at 12.
It seems from these pics yours also has this issue. Or is it just because of the angle?

I would say it is both centered and fits well. As with all Cleans, VSF, etc., you have minimal play in the bezel. So it may be a tenth of a millimeter, depending on the position in the photos. But I'm very happy with the bezel position in everyday use.
Thanks! Just got mine from TD.
VSF indeed has fixed the date mag issue (at least in my batch). Everything I worried about turned out to be all right. Very happy about it.

I am going to order one of these from Andrew. How much different does it wear than a 42 mm submariner?

Well if you scrolled back 3 pages we discussed this exact same thing about my wrist, the differences between the sub and the seadweller in terms of wearability, so yes I will roast you for not reading this thread, being lazy, and not using Google.
We are on a forum talking about fake watches LOL. Take a deep breath and consider taking yourself less seriously. I used the search feature through google and it brought me well into the thread for some reason. I just missed it.

If the forum was filled with posts like yours then it wouldn't be very useful now would it. Hope you can contribute to the forum in a meaningful manner in the future.
Have fun and if you get the Clean Seadweller, post pictures. Let's put it behind us.

Got mine in hand today. Again, it's classic Clean, looks really good, maybe a little bit weak on some of the mechanical aspects of the watch. But it looks goddamn fantastic.

An interesting thing to note. The model only comes with 4 links to deattach, + the diver's extension. I guess the diver's extension acts as an extra 2 link length, but just a word of caution. For me I have smaller wrists so removing the diver's extension makes no issue to me, but for those with bigger wrists, removing the dive extension to make it wear comfortable may not make the watch fit.

Quick and dirty first impressions
From a QC aspect, I see a few things that weren't that noticeable (this is me nit picking)
The pip is centered to the right
The top left SEL is uneven
Bezel is not aligned perfectly
From a review perspective :
New VR3235 is smooth and has no issues. Crisp winding and date setting. Crown action good.
Bracelet glidelock is smooth, no issues, diver extension's also works easily
Bezel has a small amount of backplay (as with most Clean, inferior to VSF), probably can be resolved w new click springs or something.
