Yeah I've lost some muscle mass as I've aged and now spend more time chasing my 4 kids under age 6 instead of the gym, but my forearms can still represent (I only lost 1 arm wrestling match when I was in the military years ago and that was to a legit national arm wrestling champ...which BTW...he DESTROYED me...but I digress) and because of that, watches of 40mm (and less) just look small. You don't need to be a silverback to see that point.

My desire for 42mm is because (like many I assume), I lust for the "perfect" all-around watch FOR ME. I don't know why, but I fantasy about giving up my whole collection and going with only one. The 40mm Sub (or SD) doesn't do it, nor does the 44mm DSSD. For guys like me, 42mm would be the absolute sweet spot.

I'm not asking guys like you to "let go" loving the SD or SDc, but maybe open your minds that there's no such thing as "the perfect watch size". And because of that point, I'm of the camp that thinks it's a great idea for Rolex to FINALLY provide a 40, 42 & 44mm dive watch option. Fingers crossed...

I have to side with Moby here, I'm a short (fat and ugly) dude with a small wrist, don't ask me what size but I'm sure it's small. One of the main reasons I purchased my EX II was the 42MM size, I just like it better. A 40, yeah, it's OK, but I really hope they bring out the DJ41 in SS as I'll also be picking one of those up, I just like them bigger then the 'standard" 40. To all of you that claim 40MM is the optimum size and making a model in 42 is an insult to horlology, some people just prefer a bigger watch; simple.
