Speedy Pro and Sub C Comparison Pics

Hey All,

Anybody have any side by sides of a 42mm Speedy and a 40mm Sub C?
Wanted to get an idea of size difference on the wrist.

Thanks

I know, I know...But the 40mm Maxi Cased Sub C certainly looks Larger than the 40mm Sub...at least to my eyes.
And I've seen some threads discussing how the Speedy wears smaller than the 42 and the Sub C wears larger than 40.

I have both a Sub C and Speedmaster Professional. I can tell you in person that the Speedmaster at 42mm appears to wear smaller than the 40mm SubC. Here are the only shots I have on my 6.5" wrist.

I would agree as my Speed Master appears to wear smaller than my GMTIIC.

when people say "smaller", I think it means thinner (case) and the lack of rotating bezel, hence it gave you the impression of being smaller.

Great pic, and strap on the speedy.
I guess wrist "presence" would favor the Rolex ceramic line, even
though their 2 mm narrower.
Wish I had smaller wrists.

speedmaster is just thinner mean a person who is 6 foot tall but slim seems in presence smaller than someone who is 5'10 and 30lbs heavier.

Well yes the Rolex has a wrist presence, but it just screams Rolex. I have owned both and my wrist prefers my speedy pro on it than my old sub c.
