It took about 3mo after I told my AD that I wanted one. Didn't have to put down a dime to get on the list either.

Looks good from the picture you posted and you definitely get used to it after wearing it for a while. I have several 44 and 45MM watches in my collection and for some of them it took a while to get used to them but once you hit that point you don’t even notice you are wearing them.

Lovely lovely piece. A tad big for medium wrist size. Likely to knick the bezel from the high sitting position. Rolex chose 40mm to sit well and low on wrists.

It’s a big watch. It is supposed to look big. There are very few people where that watch won’t look big just due to the thickness alone. But there is a difference between looking big and looking bad. I think it looks big. I think it looks good. The more you wear it the more you may like the way it looks but it will never look small. If you don’t want the big watch look you should flip it.

Hard to tell from one photo but it looks good in this one. Give it some time. D-Blue DSSDs are easy to resell if you decide it's not for you. No rush there.

Congrats on getting one so soon!

Spotted one in the wild a while ago and was immediately drawn to it - its a great looking watch and has some serious presence on the wrist. Give it a little time, and i am sure that it will start to look “normal”
