Really? What if someone likes wearing a red nose and a spinning bow tie? Is it OK, as long as that person likes it? Since that's all that matters.....

I totally agree with this! It's all about your personality. I'm guessing the DSSD fits similarly on my wrist as it does on the OPs. Never heard anyone say it was too big for my wrist, but I have heard plenty of people simply say "damn, that's a huge watch!" lol.

Only in the middle photo which shows the height, does it look too big. It looks fine in the other ones.

That's one huge watch to begin with. I sense that your not happy with it. Try on a SD and see how you like it.

In my opinion, yes

Like you, I have a narrow wrist, I have just passed on my JLC Reverso Duo Time to our Daughter and I have bought a 114060 Submariner No Date Ceramic 40mm watch which works for me, best wishes

Looks too big for me. If you like it though, go for it.

Yes it does (IMO) but what matters is how you think it looks

It's meant to be big. If you are OK with that then wear it. The height makes me nervous, if I had one I'd worry about banging it on everything I walked by. But in your pictures I don't think it's too big.

Surprised at the "too big" responses. I think it looks BOSS on you. Enjoy that kingpin.

I think it looks good. It is not utterly big. I think you can wear it if you like it. As people said it is supposed to be a big watch anyway.

I dunno- it's a HUGE watch. You're an athletic looking guy and the lugs don't hang over the edge of your wrists, so I think it looks good on you. It's a beast of a watch, it just is what it is. If you love it, wear it. I have a flat 6.75 wrist and I want one badly.

If you are into the "oversize" look...then spot on. Otherwise, it's a bit large on your wrist IMO.

Does it not bother the back of your hand?

Many wear it higher up on their wrist, which may make it look not quite so big

Try wearing it so that it isn't pushing up against the back of your hand. That's part of why it looks too big.

Looks too far down your hand. Maybe resize it tighter to go up your wrist.
