Get a DSSD or Pelagos. The Black Bay is only a bit larger at 41mm I think. Or just upgrade to the bigger cased 114060 for little more presence. Personally I think the Sub looks good on your wrist. I see many wrist shots of big watches that just look silly to me, like a little boy wearing his dad's watch.

If it is 1680, yes. Steel looks better on you.

Way too big on that bund.
Now that I see them right way up.  Try it on a NATO.

You have what appears to be a small wrist, and that Sub looks perfectly fine on the steel strap. My wrist is 8" and I'm more than happy with my Sub.

I kinda like it, but think I prefer a "normal" brown strap.
I don't really think the sub has a problem with being small.

I think it looks fine, your wristsize comes out as a bit smaller though it depends on how well you carry it as a whole.
If in doubt, I would recommend you wear it on long sleeve casuals with the cuffs folded to expose the strap! Just for the record, I love bund straps:)

I like the bund strap but would look much better on a nice vintage sub with great patina.

Since you wanted honest opinions mine is simply no way. I personally don't like it at all. That being said as the above posts stated its your watch and your wrist. If it makes you happy then I would go with it. Who cares what other people think anyway. Life is too short. Either way just enjoy it.
Cheers |
