6.25" wrist here, the Sub-C is about as must wrist presence as I'd want. Any larger and the lugs would surely hang over the edge of my wrist. It's strange how you become accustomed to larger watches. My first "nice" watch was a 35mm Movado Portico a number of years back. At the time, it was perfect. I eventually became interested in automatics and purchased a 36.6mm Omega Aqua Terra 2504.50 which seemed massive in comparison due to it's thickness. I soon bought a 39mm Breitling which made my 36mm AT feel tiny, so I traded up to a 38.5mm with an 8500 movement. Then I became drawn to the classic look of Rolex sport watches . Ended up flipping two 16610s, a 16613LN and a 116610LN before settling on my current 116610LN as my "perfect watch."

Just last week I tried on a 36mm Day-Date and it felt tiny on my wrist, although by any objective measure it surely wasn't. One of these days when I'll have to get used to the size, because I really doubt I can pull of a 41mm Day-Date
