Daytona feels so small

[kog]

WOW, I never new the Daytona was only 40mm, with those three sub dials I assumed it would be a bigger watch.

How big is the Omega Man on the moon watch?

which LE is that one?

The speedy pro moon watch is 42mm. It wears small for 42 though as i think a sky dweller at 42mm wears larger

I don’t wear mine very often, but here it is today.

For the forum - too big, too small, or just right?

I’ll share my vitals later...

The ceramic stainless Daytona is 38.5mm. It's not 40mm as advertised, hence why so many say it wears or seems small.

I think the size is great but can appreciate why not everyone would.

Looks fine to me. Black dial is better though.

Umm interesting, I've seen the moon watch in the metal and thought it was small. Not to say there is anything wrong with the size, its just the photos show them looking larger than life.

But I remember when I went to try on a Sea Dweller I also tried on a Deep Sea, and I remember thinking to myself in the shop that the Sea Dweller appeared small, but that was because it was up against a bigger watch

I now have the Sea Dweller and it's not small at all it feels a perfect size.

Watching a film last night with Cameron Diaz, and she's wearing a Sub, but because she has a thin bulid the Sub looks BIG on her wrist. Because watches are small and we are so used to looking at these pictures on the net and seeing them magnified it throws our psychology of track a little.

Last time when I was at the local AD, the owner let me try his platinum Daytona. It didn't wear small on my 7,5 inch flat wrist. As it is executed in PM it was much heavier in comparison with my 116610lv.

As I am after a 116500, I believe the stainless steel/ceramic bezel Daytona will wear similarly to the 39mm Explorer. Can someone who has (or already compared) both watches confirm this?

I absolutely love the watch, but reading the time is at times difficult. Likewise when you see the average shot with the words Daytona in red, there is no way my 50 year old eyes can see that without my glasses and examining the dial in detail.

After 3 months with my 116500Ln I have decided;

It is a keeper.
It's not an everyday watch, for example at work I need to see the time in
an instant. My Omega does this better.
For nights out, or more formal occasions the 116500Ln is my default
choice.
I've had many comments on the Daytona, all positive, including twice - I
don't usually like Rolex but that is lovely, both times this was a lady
commenting..

I think that the below shot just shows the difference on how difficult the time is to read in an instant on the 116500LN, put in the factor of 90% of the time I need reading glasses then you may see my point.

Agreed on most part.

Personally I feel ss Daytona wears small... but the biggest drawback for me is the difficulty reading the time instantly. With my Pam or Omega, I can see the time clearly, right away.

Daytona is beautiful... but more of a jewelry than a watch imho. Perhaps that’s why so many ladies prefer Daytona.

Flame suit on. Lol

You will get used to the size really quickly

Not the same watch I know, but the Daytona wears quite similar to the 16570 Explorer II.

Daytona might be small for some, but it is the perfect size for me. I have been wearing all sorts of Daytonas for over 12 years, and I will never stop.

[mistercoach32]

I’ve had two chances to purchase Daytona’s and passed for that exact reason.

Thanks for your reply! I have exactly the same Exp2 reference and the comparison is really helpful.

May I brother you for side by side pics or wrist shots? Thanks!

+1.

but completely agree. Only have 6.75 wrists and wearing my wg Daytona felt ... dainty to be honest. Felt like wearing a 36mm I have which I never wear.


I’m sure 95% of the people that say the Daytona is perfect Watch would opt for 40-41mm size if Rolex offered that as an option. Beautiful watch but wears small and much smaller than advertised... just a fact.
