Aesthetically, other than the Daytona, this is probably my favourite of the current Rolex line up. I am sure the heft will grow on you

I love that watch! When I was deciding on my next watch, it was between the TT submariner and the deep-sea.

Congrats!! Amazing piece. I'm on my second D-Blue and if you have any issues with the fit I'd recommend removing the divers extension. Made all the difference in comfort for me. Best of luck!

Watch has been sized properly few hours ago, will update the first post after work. Still getting used to having a hefty piece of metal on my wrist

To answer the questions about my wrist size, it's 6.7" with my amateur measuring. Not huge, but yeah.

Ok here you go.

Small review:

I wrapped it around my wrist as soon as it got resized, first feeling, weird. It stands so tall on my wrist, and damn, it's heavy, coming from wearing a datejust 2 for past few months.

Top view, it doesn't look huge on my sub 7" wrist. Side view, some angles look funny at first, but after wearing for few hours I can't find the funny angles anymore/ got used to it.

Comfort level: I'm not gonna say it's the most comfortable watch I ever had, at least at this stage. Reason being, for its height, size and weight, it has be sized in a way that it wraps around wrist perfectly, no slack. My datejust 2 was sized with a bit of slack. I guess I'll see how it goes after wearing it for few months.

In general, I love it, and it appeared more blingy to me than my datejust2, for some reasons.
