I'd say about 50-70% of people on TRF that have posted wrist shots own watches that don't fit their wrist. I'm sorry but if you have a 6" wrist, a DJ II is not for you.

There's somewhat large and then there's hey look at me and my invitca large.

In all honesty I really don't think Rolex makes watches large enough to be comical like some companies I've seen.

Did he look in the mirror before he left home? That is a serious wardrobe malfunction, all kinds of wrong!

While I don't subscribe to the overly large watch look. Some models look ok but as long as someone likes their watch who cares?

Buy what you like. Doesn't much matter what anyone else thinks.
