I wear the 44mm DSSD Blue.
I'm 6'4" and 310 lbs with 8 3/8" wrist.
My 40mm TT sub looks like a woman's watch on my wrist.

Well, after I finally got to see one in real life today, I have to stress that it is IMO not a big watch. It appeared to me to be very little larger than a Submariner. And not too heavy. I would be confident in saying that just most guys of any size would feel comfortable wearing it. I am 5ft 9in and quite husky at 200 lbs. If I was shorter and thinner, I would still go for it! It is definitely a model that is not to be missed, and likely the best value of any high end diver watch I have ever seen.

Cheers,
Carl

I'm 6'4" about 250 (should be 235) and have a buddy that's 6'2" 225 who is solidly built. The two tone GMT looks perfect on him while a handful of people agreed it looked clearly too small on me. While I'm bigger, the difference isn't huge. My wrist is 7.75/8" now but looks relatively slim, while his 7.5" wrist appears thicker. My wife always contended that watches under 42mm get lost on me. Don't know if this is it but i have a 38" length sleeve, my buddy 35". I also have big hands and I think it ties in. That said, I think big watches can look good on anyone and bigger guys wore 36mm back in the day, so it's a matter of personal preference. Interesting posts though and a lot of tall people in here it seems.
