Big Wristed Daytona Owners: Please post some wrist shot pics!

I've seen dozens and dozens of wrist shots with people with 6-7" wrists. For those with 7.5"+ wrists, please post up some wrist shot pics with your Daytona.

I've got an 8" wrist, and due to the rarity of the Daytona, haven't been able to try one on. I'd like to see some pics of it on your large wrist as well as what you think of it for the size.

Thank you.

6.75" wrist so not helpful to you, but you should be able to find a PM Daytona at some ADs. Keep in mind that the PM case is slightly larger than the SS one. Good luck! I'd hate to have a wrist that didn't allow for Daytona Joy!

My wrist is just a tad above 7.5 inches. Most comfortable piece I've ever owned

My wrist is 7.75" and the 40mm Daytona is perfect. I don't understand the oversized trend, it looks ridiculous when the lugs hang over the edge of the wrist.

8 inch wrist...it will fit you like a 36mm watch fits an average 7.25 wrist. Nothing wrong with it, but the Daytona wears smaller than its size due to the contour and thickness. Not a substantial piece size wise.
You need a DSSD quick!

I have a 7.7” wrist and it took me a while to put the JC back in the watchbox and start wearing my Daytonas
They certainly wear a little smaller and gets a little used to especially after wearing my JC for so long and even compared to my Pepsi but once you get used to the look and size on your wrist it became a very strong contender in my rotation!
