As a man with 8 inch wrists i find that the 40m rolex model are in my humble opinion a bit small on me so as my first rolex i would like to get something a bit larger. So from the datejust 41 and up what model would u recommend as a first Rolex?

Skydweller.. large enough but not outrageous and straddles both sporty and formal situations equally well..

HogwldFLTR · 15 September 2018, 02:04 AM

Sky D is as large as my scrawny arms can support.

Sd43

Original DSSD for me

Rrpdc · 15 September 2018, 02:34 AM

Skydweller then sd43

Dr. Robert · 15 September 2018, 02:35 AM

Not a fan of big watches, but the DSSD & new SD are ok

warrior · 15 September 2018, 02:36 AM

The New Sea Dweller. Large at 43m but not as chunky compared to the DSSD. IMO, generally speaking, the thicker the watch, the more goofy/less elegant it looks.

Not everybody likes Romans on the dial but it's my favourite

My wrist is between 7.25 and 7.5, I have a few 40mm watches, but did want something bigger in the mix as well. After trying on everything previously mentioned, I went with this. Honestly, for 8, I think it would be perfect:

R!$ · 15 September 2018, 02:55 AM

wow 8 inch wrists, maybe you should get that james cameron

al503 · 15 September 2018, 03:03 AM

Just over 8" wrist here and the SD43 is perfect. DSSD is OK as well but a bit too tall for my liking (and I don't care for the 'original gas...' text.)

Colin10101 · 15 September 2018, 03:04 AM

DSSD blue

how does it dress up?

samson66 · 15 September 2018, 03:19 AM

For a dress watch I think the Datejust II would look great on you. For sport either the DSSD or SD43 would work really well

dr.fiddy · 15 September 2018, 03:21 AM

Sea-Dweller (SD43) and/or Sky-Dweller.
I find both of them very comfortable on my 7.5”

shakeb0x · 15 September 2018, 03:21 AM

As I rotate between my DSSD and Sky, the sky feels alot better. The DSSD is large and bulky but still amazing.

challer · 15 September 2018, 03:26 AM

SkyD and SD43 for my 8” wrist

OP check out this thread: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=623445

SD43 is perfect sized Sub for the girthier wristed man. The DJ41 on an 8in wrist looks and feels like a DJ36 would look on a 7in wrist lol

So my recommendations are SD43 for sporty/dive option, Skydweller/DJ41 for dressier option.

Still wanting my BLNR though...
