Icon20 7" wrist'ers only. With 40mm pic request.

My wrist is a hair over 7"

Would you please post a pic of your 40mm from a distance as well as a close up?

Like this is a difficult request, basically a "Show me your size comparison" request!

Judge,

A lot of people will post pictures to be helpful. The closeness of someones camera however will greatly alter the observed proportions and can make the watch look much bigger on a wrist. Most close up photographs make it hard to judge scale.

We've all been there, wondering what will fit best. The safest route is to try things on first hand. Luckily with a 7" wrist, most if not all Rolex watches will fit you fine.

Thank you for the insight, that's why I asked for close and far away. I tried on a SD about a month ago and seemed small. I was wearing my Ball Deep Quest, though.

I am just excited, mine will be delivered here tomorrow.

Again thank you and keep the pics coming!

Here you go... I initially felt it was small..but, I think it’s the right size for a 7 inch wrist.

I am assuming all about perception, but that watch looks huge.

I can only assume the 16600 is a little smaller.

I think it’s a photo/perception issue. I’d speculate the two watches are very similar in actual size.

The GMT may have a bigger look because of the different bezel and numbering.

Also, I believe, though I’m not certain, the 116600 predates the maxi case. Though someone could correct me on that if I’m wrong.

Here’s another photo.
