Been on the wrist 5 hours

Finally pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier. Trading my Omega America's Cup hurt. It was so much bigger, going to be hard getting used to a smaller watch.

Based off the pic, the 40mm fits you fine. Coming down from 42-44mm watches to 40mm took me awhile to get used to. But I eventually realized it's a perfect size for my wrist. Plus, much more comfortable.

That Sub looks perfect on your wrist. Like others have said, it just takes a brief adjustment period to get used to a smaller or bigger watch.

Congrats on the Sub!

It's sure a sad thing to see the Omega go but hey, this is the iconic Rolex.

Congrats...

I'm glad to be a member of this forum, I appreciate the words. I almost traded back for the Omega, I'm going to wear the sub for a while. It's truly a classic watch, going to take a little getting used to.
