Looks way over sized. Think you know the answer hence why I asked question

Standard SD would look far better

It looks fine on you

I’d suggest removing a link on the 6 o’clock side or adjusting the glidelock to wear it a smidge tighter. I’d also wear it higher up on your wrist

Have you removed the diver extension?

Wear it proudly !! It's a hell of a watch. What I've found works best is to remove the diver's extension and wear it a little more up the arm rather snugly. It's a watch that really does have a 'sweet spot' on the arm when worn IMO.

Its big but you can pull it off. If you are good with it, that's all that matters.

Looks outstanding on your wrist. It won't have the proportionality of a Sub, but it is not supposed to!

You can wear it just fine. To be honest, your pics really made me miss my Black dial 126660, which has had to go back for regulation due to losing time and having low amplitude.

I think it looks fine! It's a very large watch but it doesn't look oversized or too big/gawdy on your wrist. Good choice!

It's a large watch in every respect for a Rolex and it's as compact/wearable as a watch in that class can be in accordance with it's original design brief.

Ignore comments as to the fit of the watch on your wrist.
If it feels comfortable just as it is, then party on.
In answer to your question. IMO, it looks fine and you are definately getting away with it

Looks great. Look better if the date was the same color as the dial. Why white? Oh well.

I'm hoping when i get mine it fits ok, tried on the black and it fitted/felt good....now in the process of losing a few pounds (well, over a stone so far) so hopefully when i get the call all is good.

Yours looks good, same sort of size wrist as me.

Hi. I am new to this forum and new to Rolex. Just my personal preference here, but put a fin on it and that watch could be a small sundial on my 7 1/4 inch wrist. However, if you like it wear it with pride. :)

Sure it’s a big watch but I think it looks fine on your wrist.

It wears big to some, and wears like a sub to other bigger wrists.

The only thing matters, is it wears comfortable and you like it.
