Exactly. That’s what the Sub is all about. You have a great three watch collection. Enjoy.

Subas look like this on the border, Daytona is perfect, as you can see in the photo of the whole silhouette.

I think the Daytona looks a lot better on your wrist than the Subs.

Why is it that men want to wear huge watches? Looks like the watch is wearing the wrist, rather than the other way around...

this seems a pretty clear result! it’s weird because the subs really don’t look big at all in the flesh. i did used to have an AP diver though so maybe it’s an illusion.

cheers for the input, decision made, it stays

Great decision. Looks perfect on you. If you still question the size, you can slightly loosen your Oysterflex so the fins underneath make it flare out a bit more for a larger appearance.

Based on this photo, it looks right on your wrist.

i won’t be doing anymore watch transactions for quite a while, i just worry that the skydweller is only good for dressier occasions with the bezel, does anyone who has one wear it casual as well?

if daytona was a 41mm this wouldn’t be being typed, my subs wear great.

Your Daytona looks great. Your sub looks oversized.

The Daytona looks great on your wrist. Not sure if the post is a prank, since it look great.

From all your watches the Daytona is arguably the most attractive

Hi,

My Sky Dweller definitely feels dressier than I would like. I was going for the Jubilee version but am so glad I got the Oyster.

The fluted bezel on all versions is very Datejust-y but I do wear mine on casual occasions. It doesn't feel as sporty as my Hulk, Sea Dweller (on a Rubber B) or neo vintage GMT but that has more to do with the thickness and heft of the piece.

My own opinion is that the Sky Dweller is doable in casual situations and even more so on an Oysterflex. Having said that there are casual situations and casual situations! Casual as in, going shopping, out and about - no problem. Casual, as in, gardening and playing with the kids... perhaps not!

My Daytona feels small as well but I kind of like that in a bizarre way.

I do much prefer my plain old Speedie, mind. It's just 10 times more legible!
