The subC is actually about 40.5mm

It's fine how it is, maybe even drop to 39 (just to be different)

floater156 · 4 November 2014, 06:08 AM

42 mm would be a great option alongside the 40.

It's already big enough.

what else will be the next "big" thing. Belt buckles?

Rashid.bk · 4 November 2014, 06:10 AM

Well I think I've answered this same question about 35 other times in the threads I decided to peek in out of the 60 that ask this same question just this year alone, I may have even answered it in this thread already for all I know......
No bigger size, 40mm is the magic spot. Not to big not to small.

I found the Exp2 to wear too big and wide but imagine the sub's ceramic bezel would make it wear smaller and more balanced on me but would need to see it to know.

40 mm is perfecto!

So what we really need is a Sub in three sizes: S, M and L

Perfect - something for everybody

Dvenus11 · 4 November 2014, 07:33 AM

i would for sure

Seaswirl · 4 November 2014, 09:01 AM

I hope not, but think it's a very real possibility. The masses want bigger and Rolex had been delivering.

esdeezy · 4 November 2014, 09:16 AM

40mm is perfect for small-average size wrists. But I can understand people with over 7" wrists would might want a 42mm sub.

Me, I'm happy with 40mm. The DJII should have been only 40mm too.

ltmgeller · 4 November 2014, 09:31 AM

How about a submariner II or Gmt iii in 44 mm with all the precious metal trimmings. Just saying.

submariner123 · 4 November 2014, 09:51 AM

No! I don't like any watch over 40mm.

kamek · 4 November 2014, 10:02 AM

Came into this thread just to vote "no."

sportsmaven20 · 4 November 2014, 11:51 AM

The 40mm size is fine, but if the lugs were more tapered, it would be THE perfect watch!

Hairdude1 · 4 November 2014, 11:57 AM

I love my 116718 at 40mm however I would be interested in a 42mm sub

nathaniel · 4 November 2014, 01:00 PM

40mm is perfect.

Umm.....it's a diver, not a dress watch...

Jeffa32 · 4 November 2014, 02:27 PM

All comes down to personal taste. The sub is dive watch and the general trend for dive watches is they are bigger than 40mm, hence the interest in a 42mm sub. I have recently flipped my 114060, didn't like the lugs and but the key reason was the size of the dial not the overall case. I prefer large watches. My favourite is the DJII due to the thinner bezel and larger dial. Just discussing case size alone is too simplistic as case width to height ratios play a part. For instance I love my 46mm 8500 planet ocean but can't get on with the DSSD.

I would have like to have seen the SD4000 at 42mm.

Rogdogg · 4 November 2014, 02:48 PM

In the past I would have said definitely but since getting my blnr I don't think I care anymore.

People say it wears like a 42 thanks to the big lugs, which many people out there don't like. Do you think people would like a 42mm if they were to bring the lug size down again?
Say similar to the new SD but with a slightly larger dial?

Joearch · 4 November 2014, 03:26 PM

Perfect is perfect. Leave

well enough alone.

mrallen13 · 4 November 2014, 04:02 PM

I would love it with the thinner lugs. And dome that sapphire while they're at it.

I really don't understand the fascination with big watches and it's not something I can get bent out of shape over.

The Sub doesn't need to be any bigger. What exactly is the point of it (and any other watch for that matter), to tell the time with or park stealth bombers on?

travisb · 4 November 2014, 07:54 PM

As is for me!

RICHARD_LEWIS · 4 November 2014, 10:52 PM

No

zama · 5 November 2014, 06:37 AM

I voted no because if it does come out, then this thread will be replaced by twice as many threads of people with 5in wrists asking does this look to big on me. Let me answer that now YES!!!! Role does divers in 40 and 44 either are good choices!

Majin Buu · 5 November 2014, 06:50 AM

Hi there!

41.5 mm is a good compromise...

Cheers
