Thanks all. I appreciate it.

My first impression: this is a really nice watch. The finishing is fantastic. It feels good, and is not nearly so big as I thought it might be.

I'm the excitable type so I'm trying to stay level headed here. But, this is a super watch.

I went from debating the idea, before I got it, of sending it back, to being just a mite but smitten. So far, so good.

In my view, it wears/looks bigger than 42mm, and it is a hefty amount of metal to have on your wrist, so it has a lot of presence.

Don't focus only on wrist size, but how it wears/looks/feels and how it sings to you.
This!
The diver was just not comfortable on my wrist...

U gotta try it

You won't have any regrets, mine works well on my 6-3/4" wrist as others here have confirmed. Superb piece, you'll love it!

Do you have a flat wrist or a round wrist?

Well. After a few days it had to go back.

After a short while I just couldn't wait to get it off.

A beautiful watch, but just not for me.

Superdog, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts? What made you send it back? I'm having major headaches with the bezel getting scratched. I'll post about that separately

One of many reasons to upgrade to the FC diver.

It's a joke Jim! I love the SS but these scratches are killing my OCD brain! I wear my watches in all type of active scenarios but this one has shown the most damage in the shortest time! Just posted a thread about it.
