6.5? Your wrists are pancakes? My guess would be >7

Same size as mine, I think it looks too big on you
I have no idea why Rolex doesn’t make the Sub in two sizes like Tudor and everybody else does

Not to worry! Your watch looks great on your wrist. In fact, your pics show me that I could rock it, were I so inclined.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, this has been extremely helpful. A lot of good thoughts here and perspectives. I’ve got two other references, the 16570 40mm explorer 2 black dial, and the 126622 yachtmaster rhodium dial. Those probably fit me better with their lower lug to lugs - especially given the lug size on the explorer is smaller and on the ym curve down like the Daytona. But the green submariner 16610lv was something I always wanted, I just don’t personally love the old bracelet on my 16570 which would be the same on the 16610lv. When they released the updated mark ii dial in the 126610lv I knew I had to have it. Overall the watch feels like it fits like a glove 80% of the time but sometimes there’s certain angles / times I do feel it wears big. That being said no watch is perfect and as mentioned here it’s a real shame that Rolex does not opt for a 39mm size for sports watches which would probably fit most everyone’s wrist in a more flattering way unless you’re 7.25inches or above. The only current models that wear close to a 39 are the yachtmaster 40 and the Daytona which have a ~47mm lug to lug and are ~49 when it includes the outer portion of the links with the case

I might add the 16610lv down the road, would be cool to have next to the ceramic 41mm green |

Does size matter? Asking for a friend

Nice! Btw, also in the camp that thinks the 41mm fits you fine, not that you should base your decision on the opinions of random people on the internet.

Looks great to me. But I’d would wear it a little looser; but your size vs watch looks very good to me.
Unfortunately, as we don’t like to share full body pics, it’s hard to fully see how it’s proportion with height, etc.

Thanks, for your reference I’m 6’2 just over 200 pounds, 6.6 inch wrists roughly. I wore it slightly tighter to show how the lug to lug looks vs my wrist

Seems fine, totally wearable on your wrist.

You are going to get so many opinions about this. Women wear many that look too big to some, and men wear many that look too small to some (and vice-versa). Some hate bracelets that squeeze into the wrists so tightly that the skin (fat?) puffs out until it appears swollen while others dangle like stockbrokers from the 80s.
It really isn’t the size of the wrist as much as the shape, no matter what the round-wristers claim. Truth is the flat wrists are a bit more versatile and even larger watches can wear well. Your size is objectively (my objectively as much as possible and based on years on this forum) looks pretty good. Would I go larger? Probably not, but this looks fantastic on you. And if others don’t like it and you do, then who gives a rat’s ass about people you don't know at all, people—frankly—you might think are nuts in real life and dismiss the opinions of faster than it takes an AD to laugh and say “No GMT Pepsi for you.” |

Very well said, and I agree with this. There’s a lot of discourse on this topic in the forums and now also Reddit, with everyone saying the trend of ‘big watches’ is a trend that should go away, etc. It’s hard to objectively define what a ‘big watch’ is - there’s some that are just huge, but there’s a subsect which are probably borderline. To your point it’s very subjective |
