Diameter of Rolex Men's Watches
Happy New Year to everyone, and thank you for allowing me to join your Forum. I am a "Newbie", so please forgive me in advance, if my question has already been addressed in another area of the Forum.
What I would like to ascertain, is what is the largest diameter of a Men's Rolex watch that is for sale. I am a "big-boned" :D man, and prefer larger diameter watches. May I ask you for your assistance in this question? Thank you, and again, Thank you for allowing me to join you here. Sincerely, JD (JustDean) |

And neither are cheap! The YM2 costs as much as a slightly used BMW haha!

I think the honor goes to the Exp2 or YM2 IIRC.

The diameter can be very misleading. If you want to know the best watch for you go to an AD and try them on.
If you say it's too small any sales person worth their salt will get you a bigger model. The DSSD is 44mm and so is the YMII. Your next best bet is the Explorer II at 42mm (wears like a 44mm if you ask me). The new Sub 114060 wears like a 42mm even though the technical diameter is 40mm. The Subs diameter has been 40mm for a while now but if you look at pictures of old models with newer ones it's obvious that the diameter isn't all that matters. Daytona is supposed to be 40mm but I think it wears like a 39/38mm. |
