Actually, your Hulk and Sub look way too big for your skinny arms and wrists..

No, the size is fine. Besides, it fits you better than the LV.

Size is perfect, and a great compliment to your other watches, plus Oysterflex!

if daytona was a 41mm this wouldn’t be being typed, my subs wear great.

Yes. Looks far too small on you. I will take it off your hands for MSRP….I’m doing you a favour before they crash like Bitcoin

The Daytona looks spot on size-wise IMO. As others have said, if anything I’d say the Sub looks a little too big for you OP, but at the end of the day we all have to be comfortable with what we wear.

I like the Daytona on your wrist better than the other two.

I think it’s the perfect size actually.

I think a vintage 37mm would look incredible or a 38mm Royal oak.

When I started buying divers all 40mm plus it’s all I wore. Daytona felt small, then I realised very quickly 38-39mm and <12mm is perfect for me

Looks good to me, but the Daytona wears super small so I can see how folks might be surprised when they wear one. For me and my small wrists, I had completely written off the Daytona as « too big » until I put one on and realized it wears like a 38mm.

The main reason I sold my Daytona, is I just found it too small.

The SkyD suits my large wrist much better, I say go for the SkyD.

I'll go against the grain and say the Daytona looks a little small. I hope at some point they do a case upgrade and up the size just a little.

Looks fine to me. The Daytona does wear smaller than a Sub, but both offer different looks and fit.

Yes, I wear my Skydweller casually all the time it's very sporty in its proportions, looks great with a pair jeans and t shirt or anything really.

I didn't quote the pics but all those watches look great on you, smart phone pics always make the watch look larger, but it's not how it appears in real life, you're 6.2 and well built (as you said) so you can wear any Rolex and it'll be fine.

I tend to like the look of more mid size watches; it looks more “tailored.” I guess it’s all subjective - but that looks perfect in my opinion. 👍

Sports watches and the internet have given men size issues like teenage girls looking in the mirror pitying themself.

The Daytona on you quite literally looks perfect.

Daytona is NOT too small on you. Looks great! I think the SkyD will be too big.
