Rolex

I'll just say this ... If you can, try to get the watch sized and fitted for YOUR wrist and see for yourself before you reach any conclusion. Today we got 3.5 links removed from the bracelet, and it’s so, so comfortable, it was hard to give it back! My fr...  

The pics kind of remind me of when holdemchamp takes a wrist shot on one of his cats 🙂

Looks like a clock and it is incredibly large from the shots. Weight is not the matter but the size is. One can definitely dive with it, but the volume of it will be cumbersome, especially when putting on and off the BCD. Manufacturers must understand tha... 

Correct me if I’m wrong but the first two versions were never actually worn by humans. Hard to categorize it as a “tool watch” then. The watches dimensions were decided without consideration of human wearability.

You know, when Nike created the Breaking 2h marathon shoe, they designed it with Eluid Kipchonge and he actually wore it to attempt the record. The shoe was over-engineered but fit for purpose, and still wearable on a daily basis. I bought that shoe and i... 

is realistic as a commercial piece even as a tool watch. Omegas PO chrono (which I own and use on my boat) and 6 k meter diver both come in @ 18 mm which I consider to be at the very edge of wearable. At a certain point they (Rolex) are just trying for br... 

I'm just sharing my experience, which has been quite pleasant with this watch. As always, people can, and should decide for themselves! 😊

the bracelet got properly sized, but once it's done, it's just too damn comfortable! Forgot to mention in the thread, one of the reasons why it is so comfortable is its case back profile. SDs generally have a conical profile, which is a bit less pronounce... 

It could be a fashion thing over past years, people could wear those 48,9mm ROO and panerai like a boss. For me i think it is not necessary to categorize oneself into a small watch or big watch guy, just strap the one on your wrist according which makes y... 

smaller, slimmer watches for dressier occasions, big and sporty watches for more casual times. And, after all this watch is designed for a certain purpose, which requires it to be big ... and as such I don't see any problem with that!

A larger person wearing it on a dive boat could make it look cool and interesting but I think that for most of us, in most situations, it will look out of place and a bit silly. Nice Arcteryx jacket. All the best, Jon

When asked about the significance of the huge clock on his neck, Flav responded: "The reason why I wear this clock is because, you know, time is the most important element, and when we stop, time keeps going."

2007 was an odd time.

Expressed less bluntly than I would have.

I must say that I totally get this watch, it’s a novelty meant to show the engineering capabilities of Rolex, presented in a commercial model. It is big? yes! Esthetic? Definitely not for the dinner table, however in my view that was never the point. What... 

Those are the exact reasons what made me so excited about this watch. I'll post my detailed thoughts when I finally have it. Thanks!🙏

I think this is an amazing looking and innovative timepiece from Rolex. The size is part of the function and its unique beauty. Big congrats again and make sure to post more shots!

You nailed it! It's designed for one function and one function only!!! 🙏

When I went to try this on and took 75+ pictures of it mostly on my wrist it is absolutely at my limit. At 61mm it is at my absolute max and not sure if I look like a clown with it on. I have large 48mm Hublot Oceanographics with a 60mm lug length so I'm ... 

Watches come in different sizes, shapes and forms. We have pretty much everything from 28 mm Ladies watches, to 36 mm dress watches to 60 mm sports watches. Different watches for different occasions. There is space for all of the above in a watch collecti... 

but as you said 'if it works for you'. Well if it's so large that it looks like a hockey puck and makes you look like a fool then it doesn't work. Ordinarily I feel like you do and have very large watches and don't give a crap about what people say but th... 

Please feel free to post your pictures of this beauty! If you would like to but cannot upload them for some reason (?), feel free to send them via email to " FabR AT watchprosite DOT com " and it would be no problem to post them for you ;-) Cheers.

I will

Greatly appreciated.

I was afraid of this. Judging by your emoji it is very clown like.

to be a few mm bigger than me. But really, that's not relevant hear. Go with your gut feeling. If you like it go for it. Don't give a **** what anybody says or thinks. As I mentioned above, I was nervous like you, but once it was sized properly, man, it w... 

Not much over though

Of course, if you want a dress watch to look boring at a formal dinner, then this is not it. But for those who know what this piece is, it's just impressive and VERY good looking on your wrist in my view! You might have converted a few people (or perhaps ...

i agree it is far more wearable than what it seems like on paper. but not sure I could qualify it as a daily beater for my ordinary wrist. but to each his own!
