digitalnrg Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 It takes more than da MAN to wear this watch if you have a 6.5" wrist. I also have a baby 6.5" wristie and it takes me months to finally pulling the first PAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru1 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I would not recommend the SA but the skyland is fine on 6 1/2 inch wrist size Go and pull the trigger or get the black steel, it wears smaller then the SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolkins Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 This pic and strap modification is mine, and I can say it is very comfortable and looks great. But as you can see this is a SOSF. The skyland is more comportable to wear than the SOSF because the reasons you mentioned, so I don't think you need a large wrist to feel comfortable with the skyland (from my experience), although it is quite a heavy weight. At the moment I'm considering getting Skyland Avenger. So the rep deployment fits well on rep Diver Pro strap? Just saw this combo and I quite like it : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 the blacksteel's strap is too big for people with 6.5"> wrists though... The rubber Breitling strap is a bit big...depending on how you measure the 6.5" and also how tight you wear them. I've seen people punch extra holes in the strap. It doesn't look as good as the holes are "molded" into the strap. It fits a bit loose on my wrists...but not so loose as to not do it sometimes.

I actually prefer a bracelet over a rubber strap but im not sure how well a SS bracelet would work with a blacksteel lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) You should be fine,i know a guy that wears a 47mm Pam on his 6.5 inch wrist,looks fine to me... Edited February 25, 2009 by Dave123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay tuned. In the next few weeks I hope to have a solution. All I can tell you right now is D L C !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a post here of somebody using the SS buckle on an Ocean Racer strap with their BS...that looked fine as the buckle is such a small presence compared with the black of the strap.

unit17 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 This is a quick picture of my new toy on my 6.5" wrist! It is on the last hole of the rubber strap but looks and feel excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
