How big? Looks 45mm+. How big is your wrist?
Edit: I also like it!

Congrats, looks surprisingly wearable on your wrist. I assumed these would be bought for collectors to display them in a large watch box.

Its because you're getting the strategic birds-eye view. From the side or any other angle is when you can see how much of a slab it is.

Turns out my wrist is my favorite watch winder/ display case lol. As with the JC proper sizing is key to make this remarkably comfortable, 2 links out, diver extension in place. I wear my watches low on the wrist, even there it has been comfortable for hours.

EXACTLY! After it is sized properly, it's amazingly comfortable! Rolex did an amazing job getting the weight distribution correct!

Wow. Not my cup of tea.

I saw it on display at a AD. At 50mm, I honestly didn’t think someone would wear it. It’s huge.

That looks really good on the OP. I tried it and thought it was a massive beast. So on a huge wrist it works awesome, us mere mortals not so much.

For me it just looks as though it should have divers neoprene behind it. On a naked wrist it looks oversized and just says “look at me I’m enormous”!
