In a unique submission, Echi offers a rare 'reverse wrist shot' perspective of his Rolex Sea-Dweller 43 (SD43). This angle provides an insightful view of how the robust dive watch truly sits and wears on a 7-inch wrist, moving beyond traditional front-facing wrist shots. His post sparks a discussion not only about the watch's wearability but also the unexpected joys of integrating a luxury timepiece into daily adventures.

Wish the pic were higher res but good enough to give you an idea of how the SD43 wears on a 7 inch wrist, give or take.

Apart from the watch which fits you well, the Hassy with the 45P looks like a compact camera.

All I need really although a 90mm would be great. I think that’s equivalent to 75mm in 35mm format? Enjoyed the SD during that trip. I thought I was going to be precious about it but it was soon forgotten on the wrist whenever I was out and about πŸ™‚

I think there are many Watch Aficionados who share such parallel technical fetishes
