That's actually not true. Most popular Rolex models, especially the sport, or tool watches are 40mm. Submariner, GMT, Daytona, etc. I know, I own some of them.

Rolex moved to a larger case size a few years back when they started with the ceramic bezels, the maxi-case, and it's not been without it's controversy. A lot of folks don't like the larger size - I know I don't.

sorry but almost all the men' Rolex has 42mm
so you have a normal wrist if 42mm is literally the size of your wrist
but there are fat man or man with bone structures bigger
 
My wrists are 150 mm around. I feel like that's small. I don't know what size to get. I know both would work, I just don't know which would look better. I'll have to see in the store on April 10. But that means I'll have to preorder a Watch of each size that morning at 3 AM.
 
I have the Cellini rolex with 39mm but i have small wrist and it fits perfect
But i have friends that are in baseball business and for them 42mm is small and look not fashion at all...so sorry when i see a small watch on a big wrist is just hilarious

It's seems I am your long lost twin (or clone)?
Only slight difference is my wrists are closer to 145mm rather than 150

150mm is definitely on the smaller side if you're a man. I would go for the smaller one.
I have bigger wrists (180mm) and i will buy the 38mm :apple: watch.
 
It seems to me those who complain that 42mm is not big enough should prioritize their resources on reducing weight.

Put down the burger and put on your walking shoes.

Political correctness be damned, it's a health hazard.

seems that you don't have the ability to read. Some of us are just big/tall
like i said before my friends in basketball business are tall with big bone structures so big wrist, so 42mm are too tight and a little too small for them

read before make a bad joke or before making an inappropriate comment

And those who are too fat they should reduce their weight because they wanted to not because of a watch that is too small
 
A 38mm watch on a small wrist still ridiculous on a 6.5feet tall person, or on a very muscular person for example
Is not about fitting the wrist is about how it looks based on your body proportions
Sense of style and clothing in here does not exist ...of course silly me here is an IT forum and not fashion

We can close this Thread !
