I love my new Sub-C, but candidly, after wearing my Planet Ocean Chrono, when I put the Sub-C back on, it sort of feels like a Movado (thickness-wise, not quality). Kind of wish I had bought one DSSD to ride the middle ground instead of two separate watches for twice the total price. If you get it, you won't be disappointed, but I too feel a larger Sub-C would staunch many sales that go to Omega and Breitling.

I personally would like a 42mm Sub. I dont think 42-45mm is a trend anymore. Its a reality(at least with diving watches).

Thanks Sam. I'm learning!!!!

thomaspp · 9 January 2013, 04:51 AM

God.. Maybe something is wrong with me. Hate the "big watches" ( aka PAMs) and find myself lusting over the "small" 39mm PPs and APs. Wish it were the opposite as it would be a hell of a lot cheaper!

jimmypark54 · 9 January 2013, 04:52 AM

nope not at all. i started with 42-44 and now only wear my sub. more classic feel and look. you can never go wrong with a sub. try the new sub c, it wears a little bigger. cheers and good luck

Mickey® · 9 January 2013, 04:53 AM

SO what are the overall dimensions of a 40mm 16610 compared to a 40mm 116610?

Thanks!!!!

impalass · 9 January 2013, 05:14 AM

I have to agree with Ravager135, the Submariner @ 40m is staying ! (thankfully)

The Daytona would indeed make more sense to plus size, although I'm quite happy with mine the way it is. If it must increase in size I'd favour a Daytona II, and keeping the present 116520

Nay, nay and thrice nay

Historically, Rolex has made relatively few and small changes to the sub. I doubt they will blow it up to 42-44mm.

They have already "kinda" blown it up with the new SubC haven't they?
I mean overall size has increased even though it is still 40mm?

Normans Cay · 9 January 2013, 05:30 AM

I'ts a good size for me.

mmmk604 · 9 January 2013, 05:42 AM

I have 6.5" wrists, I thought the older cased Subs were perfect. The supercase feels and looks larger.

Have you tried the SubC? If it's still too small, just go for the DSSD...

I was shocked to see how much bigger the Sub-C is upto its older one.

I know right? But they are both 40mm...? Maybe we need to start measuring a watches OD from now on...LOL

topjimmi · 9 January 2013, 06:04 AM

McLovin · 9 January 2013, 06:14 AM

Matt_Regan · 9 January 2013, 06:24 AM

I think it's just right, any bigger & the styling would be comparable to DSSD.

I don't think they should go any bigger. I think all the 44mm and larger are just a circus freak fad that should go away.

Bangel · 9 January 2013, 06:37 AM

40mm is perfect.

bimmerboy · 9 January 2013, 06:40 AM

After wearing a sub and a sea dweller I feel the sea dweller is the perfect size watch even though they are both 40mm the SD wears bigger

gregvisser · 9 January 2013, 07:12 AM

Would love a 42 mm sub. Rolex should keep the no-date at 40 mm to still have an offering for folks that prefer the more 'traditional' size (don't know what else to call it) and have the sub upscaled to 42 mm with better flowing case dimensions.

I feel that we can hardly call 42 mm a trend. It has been around for a long time and sells well (Omega Speedmaster for example). I look at my Sub and it looks like a book with all the writing on the face. The 216570 just has so much more real estate and it gives the face a less cluttered look - although it only has one line less writing.

Bring on the 42 mm Sub at Basel! Woohoo. (like that will ever happen

)

no it's perfect, the new one appears to wear larger anyway

nauticajoe · 9 January 2013, 08:47 AM

The 40mm is just right.

esm · 9 January 2013, 09:00 AM

Submariner isn't too small... Some people just have fat wrists.

Rags · 9 January 2013, 09:04 AM

40mm is perfect. Anything larger that 42 is ridiculous. IMO...
