I had to leave the meeting...

During a meeting, my phone rang, and I quickly noticed it was my AD. Could this finally be the call I was waiting for? With my heart pounding, I snuck out of the meeting to take the call. Yes, it was! Finally incoming. Now I can’t take it off!!!

While I'm happy for the OP, I must agree with this. It looks a bit like a son wearing his dad's pants.

Congratulations regardless!

As a fellow with small wrists also, a Daytona will never adorn mine, regardless of how beautiful they are!

Bit rude, I thought.

Very nice piece Buddy!
If you need an excuse to leave a meeting, and who doesn't, that lovely
Rolex IS IT.

Sorry if I came off as rude. People can wear whatever they like, but my opinion stands that the watch is too big and it looks goofy. But that's by judging from the pictures alone.

That said, I really hope that it's just an "illusion" of an oversized watch, which is quite commonplace with pictures taken very close to the watch.

And who would not leave a meeting for this?
Wonder what excuse you gave in order to escape that meeting

You made the right decision!! Every meeting now will be a great reminder of "the time you left a meeting to pick up a call for the Daytona"
