The watch looks great on you! Especially the D-blue dial. Love it!!

Don't forget, this is Rolex's largest watch! It's meant to be worn big and stand out.

Beautiful piece and glad to see you got it again!

manman_h17 · 4 November 2017, 05:27 AM

It actually fits your wrist real nicely if you ask me

Steve36Efc · 4 November 2017, 05:30 AM

The last pic is the one that says to me go for it, you can easily pull it off. you’ve got some stunning pieces, I say get one more.

Ouro9999 · 4 November 2017, 05:30 AM

I think it is big, not too big, but i would not wear it.

Highly subjective - I could probably pull off a 44 with 8 inch wrists but don’t as I find it unwieldy. Constantly knocking in to crap. My largest is 43 oris aquis.

But as others have stated dive watches are supposed to be large and if you want it get it. I am thinking a 40mm sub is about perfect for you though.

chazadams · 4 November 2017, 05:32 AM

Since you are asking, I personally think it looks really big. The fact you are asking others tells me you might think it is too. But if you get it, rock it and don't look back and worry what others think bud.

OgSnowflake · 4 November 2017, 05:47 AM

In the first pic the watch looks like a bangle bracelet, the crown is half way down the back of your hand....it’s a no for me dawg(Randy Jackson voice)

strafer_kid · 4 November 2017, 05:53 AM

Really comes down to personal taste though the DS probably still looks big on just about any wrist?

itsjknight · 4 November 2017, 05:59 AM

It looks fine but since your post reads like you’ve owned it before I would pass then. Why not branch to Panerai? A 44mm Pam would look great and they are very comfortable.

Watch Rob · 4 November 2017, 06:01 AM

Yes do it

dr.fiddy · 4 November 2017, 06:33 AM

I think it looks borderline big on your wrist. Especially the thickness. But if you feel that it sits good; no problem, go for it :)

My wrist is 7.5 and I chose the SD43. No regrets :)

Joemck · 4 November 2017, 06:42 AM

I think you can pull it off. I think it’s at the outer limits of your range, but if you miss it it’s definitely worth reaquiring. I let mine go and still question the move. Beautiful dial and a tech marvel as well.

yannis · 4 November 2017, 07:18 AM

Hey Richard have you tried the 126600?

littleolemoi · 4 November 2017, 07:29 AM

Not for nothing but with arms that ........ ummmmm large I think " bigger is better " in this case ahem ahem!!!

Have a couple subs that are fantastic...I just love this one too for the tech aspect, and the dial.

That’s why I sit on the fence with this one. It’s so borderline for me

Don’t have it now, just thinking of reacquiring it

Yeah...it’s soooo close. That’s why I just wanted unfiltered opinions.

Thank you. Yeah it’s real close to being good or bad...

Your thoughts are mine exactly! That’s why I wanted the unbiased opinions.

I haven’t, and I’m sure it’d be an excellent fit. I just love the dssd blue dial.

JoeG74536 · 4 November 2017, 10:40 AM

From the pictures, in my opinion it looks just fine on you.

Goodwill63 · 4 November 2017, 10:51 AM

Buy it. You have the forearms to support it. Great watch. You’ll look at it and thank yourself for getting it. Enjoy!!!

jstan9 · 4 November 2017, 11:00 AM

Only you can decide. I think these monster watches are too much, but that said, it looks fine on you.

For myself and my skinny wrists I’ve decided 40mm is my outside limit. But then people here think 35 and 37mm watches are too small.

There’s no wrong answer. Go with your heart. Ordinary people don’t notice. Only we WIS people.

Based on your pictures, the size is at the limit for me before I’d say “too big” . The lugs don’t extend beyond the flat portion of your wrist. I like to have at least a few millimeters of wrist on 6 and 12 o’clock sides. The thickness is the showstopper for me on this watch.

Cigarlvr07 · 4 November 2017, 12:00 PM

Think you can pull it off it is a big watch no doubt but still a special one. I would try the SD43 as well however that may cause an issue as it did me wanting and getting both.

Jondouthit · 4 November 2017, 12:01 PM

Get what you like, but to me it sits to high.

Amileon · 4 November 2017, 12:13 PM

Go for it, stunning watch. If it get to heavy your outstanding collection will provide a temporary replacement:-)

toucan · 4 November 2017, 12:13 PM

Unfortunately the watch is too thick and this looks way to big.
It's ultimately why I sold
mine even though I really
liked it.

Boaters · 4 November 2017, 02:23 PM

It is little big but hey it is such a nice watch ... Maybe a weekend warrior thing..

Muzz · 4 November 2017, 03:10 PM

It seriously looks wonderful on your wrist Richard!

The lugs are perfect. The height is what it is but casually it looks the part and you definitely have the mass to easily pull it off!!

yannis · 4 November 2017, 04:47 PM

Based on what you have said i will say try the 126600 first Richard.

winger14 · 4 November 2017, 05:09 PM

I like it! In fact your pics have made me want one! (This forum is killing my bank balance haha)
