So looking at something to go with my Panerai 000 for my birthday.

Thought I had it fairly well sorted thinking DSSD, Polar Explorer or GMT2c.

Wife throws me a curveball by suggesting the Platty YM. Ugh!

I'm a bigger guy at 6'3" 220 with flat 7.25" wrists. I have always adored the Platty, but wonder if its too small? Or has my Zero brainwashed me?

Go with the DSSD. Will look best with your size. I'm 6'0" and 195 lbs with 7.75" wrists and I like wearing my DSSD the most. Fits perfect.

The DSSD inst for everyone, but it sounds like it would fit you fine.

samsmart · 1 July 2013, 02:11 PM

Looks like a DJ on that big arm!

520Matt · 1 July 2013, 03:16 PM

Personally I think the YM Wears plenty big, I say go for it.

Griever369 · 1 July 2013, 03:17 PM

YM will look small on initial wear but will wear big as you get comfortable. Don't know why, just does.

Cru Jones · 1 July 2013, 03:48 PM

Personally, I think there's a lot more to a watch than millimeters. Get what you like. That'll look the best on you.

travisb · 1 July 2013, 07:12 PM

I think the Deepsea looks great!

Daytona-Dan · 1 July 2013, 07:28 PM

Given that you have no doubt got used to the PAM size, I'd go for the DSSD but in any other situation (large wrist size or not) I would go for the GMT2C from that selection.

PunkJr · 1 July 2013, 07:29 PM

7.25 is not a huge wrist, and the DSSD would possibly be too big. The YM would be perfect and you could ven get away with Datejust.

DjMalcha · 1 July 2013, 07:50 PM

DSSD for sure!

HL65 · 1 July 2013, 08:16 PM

YM a great call and as said above 7.25 not a huge wrist--same as mine and I wear 36mm-42mm watches - All look just fine so get one you like the most as size won't be an issue!

cop414 · 1 July 2013, 08:21 PM

Wow, what a great problem to have. I too would vote for the DSSD.

texex91 · 1 July 2013, 09:31 PM

No doubt DSSD.

Wllnv19 · 1 July 2013, 09:57 PM

Dssd!

Urosfan · 1 July 2013, 10:03 PM

Dssd

incontrol · 1 July 2013, 10:14 PM

Yachtmaster! You will not see it on everyone's wrist!

Trouble15 · 1 July 2013, 10:15 PM

Dssd

Lion · 1 July 2013, 10:18 PM

I'd go with the YM as your wife has suggested...but of course there is no wrong choice!!!

Good luck.....Leo

Oyster Al · 1 July 2013, 11:26 PM

Dude Im also from Chicago, so Im going to give some good advice! If u want a heart poundingly cool watch go with the DSSD. It looks perfect on your wrist.

Speed · 1 July 2013, 11:30 PM

Unless you plan to wear the Pam at the same time as your other watch...no need to worry about what will go with it ;-)

I think the YM is a silly watch. The DSSD looms great. Did you try on the GMTIIC? That's a pretty substantial watch as well. Very functional as well.

Birch · 2 July 2013, 04:19 AM

Not the best image, but I also threw a Portuguese in the mix for fun. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372702757.144506.jpg

Another vote for DSSD.

SaddleSC · 2 July 2013, 04:23 AM

That DSSD looks amazing on you!

GradyPhilpott · 2 July 2013, 04:24 AM

The YM would be my choice and I have 7.75" wrists.
