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

No.

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...

mjclark32 · 9 January 2013, 06:04 AM

It's perfect for me

topjimmi · 9 January 2013, 06:04 AM

no

McLovin · 9 January 2013, 06:14 AM

hell no

Matt_Regan · 9 January 2013, 06:24 AM

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

40mm is perfect.

patb · 9 January 2013, 06:37 AM

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.

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...

gpo1956 · 9 January 2013, 12:25 PM

I tend to say yes. 42mm would be perfect.

Eric5964 · 24 June 2013, 11:18 AM

I think they could do different size subs like they do with Datejusts and Yachtmasters....I think a 45 mm and a 40 mm would make everyone happy

Hazelnut · 9 January 2013, 12:28 PM

40 is a perfect size!

mikkolopez · 9 January 2013, 12:39 PM

I prefer the 40mm sexy cased Sub, Expy 2 and GMT2 period.

jlc123 · 9 January 2013, 12:44 PM

40mm is good for the sub, some of us can barely pull that off.

mtl430 · 9 January 2013, 01:53 PM

Personally I moved away from Rolex because of the 40mm size. I gave the wifey my 40mm yacht master to wear which I think looks hot on a female.

I have now just ordered a 41mm DJII because it actually looks like a 42mm watch.

It is all opinion, I think if it looks good and you like it then wear it. I also own 48mm Breitling Bentely's which I love to death.

To each his own...

Go back to Rolex. That MONSTER is too big for your wrist!
Why are you posting on the Rolex forum by the way since you've moved away from Rolex?

I guess in your lack of reading you missed the part about me just ordering the 41mm DJII.

I'm not sure those subdials could be more poorly placed - that's what happens when you fit a 35mm movement into a 50mm case.

withthesword · 9 January 2013, 02:33 PM

i think when the world gets over stallone's 60mm pam, or arnold's 47mm solid gold AP, things will slowly trickle back to 40mm being a normal size again without the occasional 'is 40mm too small' question
