looks fine!

you can pull off bigger watches if you choose, but either way is a.o.k.

GolfPunk · 29 April 2014, 06:47 AM

It looks spot on, you don't want or need a frying pan on your wrist. My wrist is 8" and I'm happy with mine:

Perfect!

elcompa · 29 April 2014, 07:23 AM

I'd say a hair bit small-ish on an arm that size. However, not too small or obviously / notable small. In fact I likely would not have noticed had you not asked.

Just looks like your a big-ish guy perhaps.

Besides, who really needs a hockey puck or dinner plate strapped to their arm? I firmly believe there is little noe need for anything beyond 40mm andbeyind 42mm is simply clown like. Then again, I'm 5'10", medium build.

this one looks dead on right...and surprisingly so with an 8 inch wrist. It works just fine.

samsam · 29 April 2014, 07:27 AM

Too small.. I mean the watch, of course! Pun intended.

Racerdj · 29 April 2014, 07:28 AM

I approve and like it on your wrist!

sco · 29 April 2014, 07:44 AM

I think it looks small on your wrist. It looks to be too much space above and below the lugs. On the flipside to that I think it looks much better than MANY pictures I see where the lugs are totally over hanging the wearer's wrist.

airchitect · 29 April 2014, 07:47 AM

Small

This is actually what I was trying to say.

psv · 29 April 2014, 07:56 AM

Wrist thickness is only a small part of the equation, some have a very thick wrist but narrow, others have a very flat and broad wrist, so wrist size is rather misleading. Either the watch feels/appears/looks small, correct or large on a wrist. And then you have to factor in overall body size and shape, style, appearance etc.

Your own gut feel is the only correct measure! :-)

Best of luck,

Patrick

14060m · 29 April 2014, 07:58 AM

Just right

anothernewphone · 29 April 2014, 08:23 AM

I'm not a fan of big watches, but that one looks small on you. Being Mr. Daytona, you should look into losing some girth, maybe surgically enhance your wrist?

jlc123 · 29 April 2014, 08:25 AM

Small, but wearable.

eteokles · 29 April 2014, 08:35 AM

I think it's perfect. That's how a watch should fit IMO.

nauticajoe · 29 April 2014, 08:50 AM

Heck, it's a Daytona!.....just right.

Agreed. And no dinner plates either.

tkerrmd · 29 April 2014, 08:50 AM

Let's face it are you going to change from MR DAYTONA ???

To MR DSSD??

fullcourt · 29 April 2014, 08:51 AM

looks good

paltak · 29 April 2014, 09:06 AM

Too small but that's a problem I want to have. A DSSD or AP ROO would fit like a glove IMO.

Jack T · 29 April 2014, 09:23 AM

No way any 40mm watch can look anything but fine; and no way a Daytona doesn't make your wrist look fantastic.

Rickn · 29 April 2014, 09:41 AM

Little small to be honest. You have monster sized wrists!

I'm 6'2" and 250lbs so I would say I'm a big-ish guy.....

Maybe Mr DeepTona?

adamlea · 29 April 2014, 10:32 AM

For what it's worth, I think it looks good. Anything smaller, however, probably wouldn't.

Presa canary · 29 April 2014, 10:59 AM

Looks fine. But in all honesty, I think it'd look better on mrs. Daytona...
