Well either that or the five of us have some weird wrist/watch perception dysmorphia.

I don't think its a weird dysmorphia Sal, its just what our personal preference is
I tried on a 36mm Day Date (rose gold, black dial, RG arabics)
A beautiful watch (I love RG) but it felt and looked (to me) tiny on my wrist.
Had I taken a close up wrist pic I'd recon 90% of the comments would be that it was the perfect size. But it looked like a toy from my perspective. And my wrist is only 6.75 inches.
When I strapped my Sea Dweller back on it just felt right.

To me it looks way too big (and too loose) on eijiboy's wrist. If he likes that though, perfect, thats what he should be wearing. Nobody needs approval from anyone here to wear what they like, and there will always be a wide variety of opinions on any watch topic like this

100% agree.
