The most handsome diver ever made by Rolex (in my opinion). I really love mine and is my grail watch. The dial (matte/glossy) is two watches in one!

Congrats! Mine just arrived yesterday. Love the heft of the watch and how it sits on the wrist. Such a gorgeous timepiece.

As I implied upthread, close-up wrist shots are not the way forward when trying to work out if this watch is a good fit for you. The camera foreshortens the distances and in combination with the 2D render of a 3D reality it makes the watch head look bigger than in reality.

I also think wrist size is no more important than overall body habitus in making the determination. This watch will wear very differently on a tall/big guy with a smallish wrist than it would on a short/slim guy with the exact same wrist size. To answer your question I’m kind of in between, being tall (187cm/6’2’) and slim (80kg/176lb).

I’m an AD guy but grey dealers have their place. In my case that place is somewhere I can try on watches that you won’t find in Rolex AD cases. If you get the chance try it on, you might be pleasantly surprised.
