Exactly this...

Also, you will know better once you buy the Sub and have it sized....


Or better yet, buy the screwdrivers designed for rolex and change the links yourself...

OP, no offense intended.

Do folks that worry about what others think of how a watch looks on them, an item of personal expression, also post on other forums wondering if a shirt, a pair of pants, shoes, looks good on them, does my wife look good, does she look good with me, and follow the mixed responses they receive?

There is no wrong answer to this perennial question. The only possible response is does it tickle your fancy, make you feel warm and fuzzy, makes you smile each and every time you look at it? If yes, then follow your heart. Fashions are made by some to then be followed by others. They change when one is bold enough to do so, and then others yet again follow. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Great

People are wearing much larger on your size wrist. Today, no watch can be too big. Simple dress watches are 42-3mm. Much larger than that Sub at 40mm.

I would buy the Sub, or you'll always want one. Heck, that goes for any of the 40mm sport watches. They just feel a lot more solid than a non sport model. Do as you like, but my prediction is you will end up with a sub or another sport watch in the near future if you don't buy it now.

Looks great to me. I'm hoping the SD43 looks on my wrist pretty close to the way that Sub looks on your wrist. For many of us the Sub looks a little small - but looks about right on you IMO

Looks great...many people on TRF are tricked by the close up photos of watches on wrists. In real life, watches look WAAAY smaller on wrists than in photos.

Seems ok, but you should also try on the pre ceramic models that's smaller.

You're not alone.

I've never seen a bad looking Rolex, but I have seen a lot of not so great looking people with good looking Rolexes. The watch should be the least of their worries.

I think he was asking if it fit. But I'm sure you know that, so... yeah.
