I am in shock...!!!
For almost 40 yeas I've worn basically nothing but Subs and Sea Dwellers (40mm watches)...
Sold my entire collection a couple of years ago to fund a building project... For the last 6 months I have owned and greatly enjoyed this Longine Legend Diver...  This watch is 42mm wide and 52 mm long...(Not all that much bigger right...???) My son was over this evening and I tried on his 16600 (A watch I have in the past owned and loved)... But here's the thing...I found it TINY...  I have always thought of the 16600 as a big watch...But now, after wearing the LLD, the 16600 seemed almost like a kids toy...??? I want to get another Rolex and was planning on a 16600...But now I'm not so sure...?? Do I need a Deepsea...??? I am reeling...  Now I have to rethink it all!!! |

Just like anything else..... Put a 40mm watch on your wrist for a few days and you will get re-acclimated to it just like the one you wear now.

Just those 2mm, going from 40 to 42, is significant.

Switching to any size takes a bit to adjust. You should try a 36mm. It'll look tiny at first...but then it becomes perfect.

I have the date version, it is definitely a big watch. The dial on this thing is just remarkable, and it looks much better underwater!

Put them both on a scale or 1,000M under water and you’ll come back to your senses.

I did the opposite of OP. Started off with 42 and 43mm Hamiltons and citizen watches. I initially balked at my 39mm speedy. Now, anything over 40mm to me is huge.
