It looks ok. Unfortunately, we are victims of current fashion trends which then engenders familiarity. Because most men are wearing 40mm and greater dimension watches then our perception renders that size « normal «

I think that watch looks pretty sweet! and no, it doesn't look too small on your wrist.

It looks great on you. Like you are a gentleman and a scholar with class and style.

Don’t listen to the over 40mm crowd. Not all of us need to compensate for other things.

IMHO, if you’re asking then you probably are already thinking it’s too small

I think if you wore it further up your wrist it might look better, but I understand that’s personal preference

True but the oversized watch trend is dead. We are back to embracing the classic sizing.

I think it looks good!. IMO, white watches ALWAYS look better when on the smaller side vs. larger. Less of a “ wash out” effect….more focused look. If it were a different dial color, it would perhaps look too small. White? NO

Looks fine. The white dial helps you. Good looking watch.

It looks fine as would one that looks slightly bigger. The only thing that matters is how you feel wearing it

I think it looks great on you, but it all depends on how comfortable you feel.

Total keeper. Don’t get caught up in the big watch drama, you’ve got nothing to compensate for.

Me, I think it’s right on the edge size wise .. I felt like that with a 116520, but got used to it ..

I think you are the victim of shrinkage.
I like a larger watch, this way when it shrinks I don’t feel bad.

If you think it fits, it fits. If you think it doesn't, it doesn't.

Nice watch.

Are you asking because you think it looks small on you? In my opinion, it looks fabulous!

Almost no one is even looking at it, just you and even if they are looking at it no one is looking at the proper angle to judge and even if they are looking at the proper angle half aren’t that bright and the opinions of the others don’t matter because you will never see them again.

My 36mm DD looks half that size and it still looks good to me. My only other Rolex is a JC DSSD - love them both. I'd hate to say that size doesn't matter because of the implications ...

I think it looks ok but would probably look better if centered an inch or so off the wrist bones.
