Here’s what I’m wearing at the moment. Doesn’t look big on my wrist at all. 44mm


Looks nice man. Did you put a new bezel and insert on that? I would wear that in a heartbeat if it was 42.

Looks to have short lugs, and your wrist is probably over 6.5 inches.

This is what I’m wearing it’s 36mm, and doesn’t look womanly to me :

It looks proportional, and I like the 50 Fathoms style bezel.

That’s a great looking watch. No crinkle bezel or terrible looking cyclops.

My daily watch is an Omega Seamaster 41mm. If I wore anything smaller it would look like a ladies watch IMO.

Little girly-men like you should just buy the women's version.

40mm Rolex Submariner vs 41mm Omega Seamaster. That 1mm makes quite a difference.

Thanks, and yes last week I changed out the bezel insert for a lumed ceramic. Love it so far

This is mine on wrist, it’s 36mm. As you can see if it was 41mm it would look ridiculous on me.

Wrist shots from an iPhone always over inflate the size of the watch face, so be mindful of that when you’re looking at watches online.

That’s my picture

Macro shots do make watches look much bigger than they are IRL, but I’m looking at my watch on my wrist right now and it fits about the same as in the pic. I’ve also tried on the 41mm Black Bay and it feels huge on me (part of that is due to the thickness), I wish I could pull it off because I really like the red bezel version.

I recently bought two watches from Jomashop and just selected the the size range I wanted to come up. It was a pretty easy process.

Anything larger than 45mm sets off the douche alarm

Ha, I did the same thing on my SKX. The ceramic makes it look so much better.

Large watches are based off the old pilot watches which were meant to be worn over gloves
