but how will it look on my 6.5 inch wrist? can I send it back if I think it is too big, Can I get a rubber strap?

This thing is awesome, it is not about how it looks on the wrist, it is ALL about the watch! and I would wear it on my 6.5 inch wrist.

The watch is 51.4cm wide, 28.5mm high in total, with a 14.3mm thick crystal...
I would say that the only big daily problem is the thickness: Specially when the crystal's edge has so much "door grabbing factor"...
The watch didn't need to be so wide but then the same thickness and a 14.3mm crystal may have looked like a mushroom popping out off the wrist if the watch was 43mm like the DSSD: A bit like the Deep Sea Special is less extreme.
I guess Rolex tried to make it looking good and wearable somehow, even no man will wear it at 12000m.

I´m at a loss for words ...It looks stunning and a really cool watch indeed, but at the same time I have to agree with the sheriff. The diameter isn`t really a problem, but the super-domed crystal would potentially be an issue imho. And also I guess the price, hehe.
Non the less, this will probably be ripped from the shelves as there are more than a few completely bonkers die-hard Rollli fans out there ...
