Same here - tried one on a few times but despite having a fairly solid wrist, I could not handle the size and weight. Great piece of engineering without a doubt though!

I agree, an unwarranted, uninformed and unnecessary statement.

The Sea Dweller dial is easier to read than the deep sea as it's closer to the crystal and would be my choice however its too close to my Submariner. Now if only they made a 42mm Sea Dweller.....

I had the same feeling. I really like the DSSD D Blue but it doesn't fit my small wrist :(

OP, if the above suggested explorer 2 doesn't satisfy your desire for a 42mm watch, maybe try the blue dialed yacht master as a different yet similar alternative to your sub.

Some nice suggestions all however I've always been a dive watch wearer so it has to be a diver. The new SubmarinerC is nice but I'm not keen on the case shape. The DeepSea in both traditional black and razamataz blue are superb and although I have large wrists and could wear it no problem I just think it has too much and would attract attention that I don't want. The SeaDweller C is probably going to be my choice. It's close to my Submariner with the raised crystal, I really like the matt maxi dial and it has a more traditional look to it. I would like it to be slightly bigger but after wearing my Submariner 16800 for the last week I think it will be fine. I used to think of a 40mm as being a big watch but over the last few years have been wearing Seiko Tuna and MM300 so the Submariner feels small until used to again.

The SeaDweller is another great choice. And I have to say I like the term Razamataz Blue, although it probably won't stick.
