Does this DSSD Look Proportionate On My 7” Wrist?

Let me know what you guys think.

It's a big watch, no doubt. But it looks fine.

It's a big watch, it's fine. Wear it and enjoy it. I do on a 6.75" wrist.

I have a similar wrist size and I wouldn't personally wear it, but it looks like you pull it off well

Looks like when a young kid wear the watch of his daddy...


More seriously, it's all about the thickness; you like it or not. For me it is too thick.
It looks good in your third pic.

That thing looks great on you. Don’t give it a second thought. It’s like that watch was specially designed for your wrist brother. If I can wear one, anyone can. Took this pic a few hours ago

Try to wear this watch as snug as you can without it being uncomfortable. It is very top heavy.

Also, this watch doesn't look "proportionate" on almost anyone's wrist. The only time I thought this watch wore naturally was when I saw it on a massive 6'5 South African guy who visited my class. Great guy, we talked watches and he let me try it on. In his case, the watch looked like a Sub on the wrist of a normal sized man.

You knew what you were getting into with the DSSD. It looks fine for being a DSSD. Obviously other watches would fit better but this watch is supposed to be a behemoth. Enjoy it man and try not to think of it to much. As long as you are happy, then it's the watch for you.

I think it looks great. I’d maybe move the micro adjust in a notch however just to tighten it up.

It is not that it is too big/wide it’s just very thick. I would check out the SD43 for perfect proportions.

It's a big watch but you pull it off nicely

I have a 7" flat wrist and it fits perfect. It looks great on your wrist as well. I have worn it for 3 weeks straight (since I first got it) and it feels like any other watch. It's now weird when I put my sub on. The sub is awesome but this makes it feel like a saltine cracker!

The dial is amazing and it's more rare to see in the wild than a lot of other Rolex watches.

It's a huge watch so it's going to look best on a large wrist. I think a smaller watch would suit you much better. Is it comfortable?, it doesn't look like it would be the way it rides up on the 12 o'clock side.
