Submarine in 6,4 inch wrist.

[maratka]

Hi all. Advice in terms of sizing - been wanting a Submarine for a very long time, finally got a chance to try on (and buy :) ).
My wrist size is 6.30 -6.40 inch. Perfect fit 36mm, but have been dreaming of a submarine. Took a couple of photos and with the homage(bought it to make sure of the size). Overall comfortable, but the watch has to sit tightly on my wrist or it rolls off.
Thanks!

I have found that moving links around (usually having more, sometimes considerably more at 12 than 6) and playing with the microadjustment or Glidelock usually results in an optimum fit for my wrist, although it might take a few attempts.

Once the clasp assembly is correctly positioned under your wrist and curves around it equally on both sides, the watch body can be moved backwards and forwards quite a bit. What might look odd before you do it up may fit nicely. I once reversed the clasp on a Breitling which turned an awkwardly wearing watch into a comfortable fit.

However, when all is said and done, if a watch doesn't fit, isn't comfortable or doesn't sit right to an extent that irritates you, it's time to be honest with yourself. I've rejected a few watches on this basis and sold a few that I thought I could live with but couldn't. It's tricky to call because some watches can be gradually tweaked to perfection and others are never going to stop getting on your nerves.

Sorry, I can only post pics so much.

For your wrist size and you say 36mm is your sweet spot check the 16610 Subs. Fantastic options for daily enjoyment

I need a ceramic bezel. I am only considering a new watch.

I have the same size wrist and had the Sub 41 for a bit but sold to a friend. I felt the large clasp was uncomfortable for all day wear. Didn't have that issue with the 40mm Sub. I would suggest the BB54 but since you want a ceramic bezel, how about Glashutte SeaQ 39.5. They are a bit more expensive but you can generally get a discount. The on the fly glidelock clasp is amazing.

The Sub will fit you fine. It was meant to be oversized as a tool watch. It is not a dress watch size.

It seems like a lot of people on this forum wear a Submariner and have the same wrist size as you. I wouldn’t get a 42mm Seamaster or Skydweller if I were you.

Looks good, enjoy

Do not worry about the watch size. Who cares if it wears large or small on your wrist?
We are becoming slaves to the perceptions of fit, proportions, dimensions ,,, whereas it is all one big load of BS.

I sometimes fully open the clasp and wear my watch completely loose - and I like it like that and could not care less about others’ thoughts

This is what a hommage looks like on the arm.

[physicist]

That size looks great on your wrist.

I find them very odd and disproportionate. My personal opinion.

It works ok on your wrist. Enjoy!

Look at it like this, it fit even better if you get fat

It looks great on you. Pull the trigger

Normally when someone posts asking if a watch is too big for them, my immediate answer is yes but I think this looks fine from this picture and perspective.

If you have to talk yourself into it, it isn’t going to work. Get a five digit Sub

[Slackergirl]

Looks good in photo's and photo's I find always make watch look a bit bigger. I have a 6.5" wrist and loved the sub when I tried it on. I say if you love it then buy it and enjoy!!

[Twehttam]

Here’s my 14060 on my 6” wrist. Go for it.

[Mauiguy]

I agree with most people here. It looks good on you. More importantly than what other people think, if you like the watch, go for it!

Just curious: What strap is that?

[996marty]

I think it looks fine

[maratka]

Thank you all for the answers. I think it's a good fit.

Search for Niziruoup FKM rubber on Amazon - awesome strap for about $20. Comes with QR pins, but I popped those out and squeezed factory bars in. Definitely recommend - it’s perfect for small to medium wrists - and looks great on a Sub.

It looks great on your wrist buy it and enjoy your watch.
