14060 dilemna

[vince211]

Hi all,

Researched a ton and decided on a z series 14060, which I picked up a few hours ago. I loved it at first however the first few comments I have received about the watch were not positive due to the watch's size in relation to my size. Sucks when you are expecting a compliment from a fellow WIS. So I have a problem. I have worn it for a few hours now in and around the house and a couple of my neighbors commented on how small the watch looks on my wrist. I am a larger man (weight-wise and tall) and while I love the history of the watch; their comments have me a bit overly sensitive. I would estimate my wrist size at 7.75 inches.

One of them suggested the GMTIIc as the bezel somehow would wear larger. I'm wondering since they are both 40mm, is this possible - perhaps in the way it sits on the wrist.

So I have a favor to ask (yes, I have used the search feature already!) - could anyone post a pic of the sub ND and GMTIIC side by side for comparison sake? I do remember wearing it and liking it, but the PCL were a deal breaker. Perhaps NATO strap (sorry JJ)??

I would really love to keep my Sub ND, but not at the risk of looking feminine as my friends brutally put it. I feel the history of the watch and the asthetic reasons I opted for it should still trump their opinions, but I can't help but be a bit sensitive to their comments. Its a shame for such a memorable day to be tarnished by such comments, but only friends like these would be brutally honest. I love the Sub ND so much I will be wearing it to sleep tonight! I was thinking perhaps they are used to seeing me wear a PO 45.5 mm on my wrist as the reason they felt it looked a bit off. I would imagine so! I must admit it does feel a bit small, but again, I am going from a PO 45 mm to the Sub ND so that is going to happen. I feel confident I will be comfortable with the 40mm size in no time. It is a heck of a lot more comfortable! Your opinion are valued and welcomed.

Any assistance and pics greatly appreciated.

Vince.
