OP, Cpongratulations on a great watch. I had one of the first ones delivered when they were intro'd. For me it was borderline too large but also borderline acceptable. As long as it looks good in your eye on your wrist that's all that matters. Mine changed in my perception because of the difficulty I had getting photos showing it to look good. The best way to get photos to show the true size is with long shot photos. Up close you're fighting perspective. Ultimately I decided that the complication was too complicated for my needs as I rotate watches frequently, don't need a GMT function, and setting it although relatively easy took my constantly having to look up the proper positioning for making adjustments. That with the marginal sizing had me trading it in on something else (part of the package to get my Platona). I've pretty much decided that for other than G-Shocks, 41mm is my absolute max watch diameter.

This is just a big watch period. Its looks big no matter who wears it. If you want prefer a larger size watch this is it. OP looks great on you.

But you asked for one of the toughest pieces to get. I´ve even gotten a Daytona Panda before this one and it is two years and counting!

Ideal to take one picture from the distance / mirror - then it shows proper proportions vs the wrist. In macro looks big but how it wears is the qestion... Never had expirience to try this one.

When I told my AD that I´d be happy with a white skydweller (he already gave me a pepsi shortly after release and a white daytona), he told me it is just as hard to get and no go after two years on either one.
