I'm not looking for a 46mm Rolex, but come one, change with the times a bit...or atleast adjust to the size increase in human beings!

I think a 42mm sub or GMT option would be nice and very popular. After wearing a 44mm PAM or a Breitling, my Rolex just looks so small on my wrist.
I agree...yet I think you'll find the majority on this forum prefer status quo and therefore resist change. Even mentioning a Sub going to 40+mm around these parts seems to quickly take on a sacrilegious tone that is nothing but blaspheme...oh yeah, and don't even get me started on the reaction to a...hold your breathe...dare I say it...Daytona-Date! If I read one more, "The Daytona is PERFECT, don't change an ICON" I'm going to puke. No watch is 'perfect', yet all too often many seem to think that's the case.
