Watch looks fine, your thumbnail looks a bit long however.

The arm definitely could be smaller but relative to the watch it looks fine.

The arm is from years of lifting weights.

I think it looks real good, but you do have a wrist that can accommodate a larger watch without looking like a little boy that put daddy's watch on.

You are obviously having doubt and (probably) thinking it is too small. Follow your gut.

No, just getting a consensus from others that will later tie into the poll I set up in a previous thread.

Looks a tad small to me
But 'size' is a personal and subjective issue, so just go with what you are happy with rather than listen to a ton of opinions

The watch looks great. Looks like you're wearing it, not it wearing you.

A touch small. AP ROC at 41mm would be perfect for you for a white chrono.

Looks small here as well. At least you can go bigger without it looking bad! I think the bezel of the Daytona makes it wear smaller than it is. Explorer II would be prefect size for your arm IMO.
