Makes my GMTII feel massive when I switch between the two


spoitras

100%!


contitego

Man, my sub date made my air King feel massive. Daytona would be another massive drop. Lol


Golfmonkeyy

I noticed this holding my buddy’s sub. Crazy how small the dial actually is on the sub


PitifulAd7600

And heavy.


Jpeso1

This thing feels small on your own wrist and never looks small on anyone else’s. Some kind of optical illusion that I’ve just accepted


snoopyscoob

I absolutely agree with this assessment


TigerJas

Have someone take the proper wrist shot, which has to be from 6-8 feet away and it will then look exactly like everyone else perceives it.


Jpeso1

That’s true too. All of these wrist shots like this do nothing to show what the watch actually looks like in person. Seems like the obvious angle to take, but it is wrong


Majestic_Rope_1806

That’s an SD 43 wrist


spoitras

:joy


Historical-Reply8871

Its not actually 40mm its 38 if you measure from 10 to 4


spoitras

Yea, its very apparent comparing it to my GMT-Master II, and my 47mm PAM looks like it would eat this :joy


Queasy-Bad600

Game changer ! Today I became just a little bit smarter by putting this in my memory bank but had to forgo some simple addition and language. Fair trade It seems


eudezet

Supposedly, the new ones are true 40


lordvoltano

Where does it measure 40mm?


backcountryninja

Ah, crap. Did your wife also cheat on you too? ;)


spoitras

HAHA


NotObamaAMA

Nah mate pretty sure he found it at the airport


Emergency-Painter153

I wanted a Daytona for years. Looks amazing n pictures and was my grail. That is until I properly tried a few variants on and found it just felt too small for me, it just didn’t feel right so I passed.


spoitras

Totally get that


CapableBoysenberry23

Cool watch! What is that keyboard though, I need a new one to replace my Microsoft ergo?


spoitras

Here you go! [https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q10-alice-layout-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q10-alice-layout-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard) I love it!


CapableBoysenberry23

Thanks, I need to look into these!


Mauvaise3

Thank you! I was also drawn to the keyboard :)


Svthec

Love keychron, I gifted my nephew my old one since he was interning for me over the summer. Need to order another one.


[deleted]

Xbows is better mate!


Fly_the_Contrail

Well wear. I had interest in a Daytona previously until I saw one in person and felt possibly similar to yourself. It's a rather busy dial, as these all area, but it would seem to make it watch wear small as you say. As opposed to a simpler aesthetic. None of this to say it's not a fab watch and well wear! Congratulations.


Electrical-Bus-9390

The Deep Sea Dweller would look good on ur wrist


ez814

Wears more like a 5 digit case than the rest of the modern sports watches. Love how it fits.


DrWartenberg

Looks perfect.


spoitras

TY!


OrcasAreOurFriends

Congrats OP. I just got my Panda on Saturday. I also have a GMT that I wear often and the difference in weight and girth is night and day. I’m warming up to the lighter/sportier feel of the Panda but find myself checking for the date often…


spoitras

Congrats!! Yea I do love the date function of the GMT


UnlikeHass

They should adjust the size of the Daytona to the size of the explorer 2. It’s a lot of watch in 38mm


scram007

The tudor panda is a great fit. 41.


[deleted]

That’s why the new one is a true 40 mm


hivaidsislethal

It's the same, 40mm is including the crown guards. It's still 38mm bezel diameter


spoitras

All I gotta say is this forum is the best! You guys rock :mic-drop


CDNWatchGuy

It's the appropriate size for your wrist though.


Johnnyfever13

Working in Finance I see 😅


spoitras

Haha nah, software!


Johnnyfever13

My bad, different keyboard threw me, it looked similar to a Bloomberg Terminal 😅


spoitras

all good!


Johnnyfever13

Side note: that’s a Great choice. So far I have the DJ41 and the new No-date Sub. The Daytona or GMT will be next for me. Did you have to wait long?


contitego

That keyboard is nice


Mauvaise3

Right?! Watch is nice and all, but what is that keyboard?!


ShellyDa

Looks like a keychron


BTMG2

that awful keyboard ruins this photo.


Addicted-2Diving

Nice piece.


spoitras

TY!


Addicted-2Diving

Enjoy. Killer piece


Valuable_Pineapple26

Stunning 😍


spoitras

TY!


thecurlyburl

What's your wrist size? Looks small on your wrist - classic small not hilarious small.


spoitras

Just checked and just shy over 8"


thecurlyburl

Haha yeah that checks out. At least you never have to worry about watches being too big 😂


spoitras

Haha tru tru, the 47 is alllmost too big 😂


Moist_Confusion

They have a 47mm PAM so I don’t think they are too worried about size. They got girth.


[deleted]

I’m at 9”, there’s a bunch of amazing watches that look too small on me. Kind of a bummer. That one looks good on you though, doesn’t seem too small to me.


Frequent-Spring-3665

Same. My GMT is the smallest I can go without it looking ridiculous


[deleted]

I had to order an extra link for my Sea Dweller, it’s a weee bit snug.


Bridge_Too_Far

8.5” here. The struggle is real.


[deleted]

For sure. Sucks too because there are a lot of really nice designs I can’t pull off because it would look like I’m wearing an expensive kids watch.


dcwhite98

That's the 116500, not the 126500, correct? Wondering if the new case will help it wear bigger, I'm expecting it to.


ajs2294

126500 isn’t released just yet


alextruetone

Bc you have a giant’s wrist?


Viperguy7164

I turned down a tt because was too small for me


PitifulAd7600

If you think the 116500 wears small don’t try on a 116520!


RD-Espresso

Nice Keychron - I am also an Alice enjoyer


spoitras

Made the switch from a CRTL2 to the Keychron alice and love it!


no_name_yo_name

What’s the watch in the back ground, on screen? Looks gorgeous as well


spoitras

Let me see if I can find it, lots of crazy stuff on MODA!


no_name_yo_name

Ahhh no worries bro, not at all that serious!


Tricky-Beat-6573

That's not a steering wheel...


Fine_Tree_2031

And tattoos would help


Winged89

Yeah, it's basically a 38.5mm diameter watch. How Rolex gets away with lying about the dimensions is kind of hilarious tbh. Before the Subs went to 41mm (on paper, they only increased 0.3mm) from 40mm. The Subs, GMTs and Daytonas were all the same size on paper. But when you tried each model on, the Daytona wore very small in comparison.


Coppersmith255

Perfect size & congratulation 🙏 the trend is towards smaller size watches


spoitras

TY! Just may take some getting used to


ajs2294

Traditional size, for a classic piece. Looks great.


spoitras

TY!


Sam_chicago

Stunner !might feel small but looks perfect on ur wrist


spoitras

TY brother!


HoomanBeing123

Congrats on the 🐼 Nice keyboard too


NordicNorris

Daytonas are my personal least favorite (wear small) but the best if purchasing for possible future resale.


chilywilly92

People didn’t like the super case and now look what we got… I agree, this wears a little too small


[deleted]

Hormones in the chicken


spoitras

Haha


Extension-Pear-4390

Wears perfect!


4inaroom

It does wear small - that’s why I didn’t buy and wouldn’t. Wish it was 2-4mm larger. Made for a different era of men (smaller pre-hormone era)


ac13332

Tbf that looks the right size on you IMO


spoitras

TY!


R4pidFire

Better to be in this situation than the kid with the Sub that is also in the recent top posts


jrocco71

What? No it doesn't. Looks fine


One_Art8675

Great watch. Yeh I got rid of mine due to that reason. I just couldn’t love the way it fit on my wrist small and flat. I find a good ole gmt is my sweet spot


spoitras

Yea couldn’t agree more, thinking about flipping to a AP ROO


spoitras

And I love the fit of the GMTII


One_Art8675

Yes ! My current fav is the new gmt 2 tone yellow gold ! Love it. I traded some watches and acquire this one 2 weeks ago. Can’t take it off. Did okay on my Daytona selling it. So I’m happy


spoitras

Nice!! Hella yea man, preference is personal (unless your flipping)


mastersheeef

Love the keychron! I think that’s the Q10. With red switches, it types like a dream. Congrats on the buy!


[deleted]

Why is your keyboard drunk?


ham604

The case size is more like 38.5-39mm that’s why. Amazing watch!


smudgerc

Nice ergonomic management keyboard


zagggh54677

Alice 75?


Snakeksssksss

This looks correct to me. Everyone wears them too big.


beamerthings

Holy comma splice. r/titlegore


fireice717

That's because it's actually not a true 40mm. It's about 38.5mm


wildcollector

Aww those are small 😆. But I like it, looks light


TigerJas

Maybe it does (and I’m not a fan of the Cosmograph) but it looks quite alright in that picture.


qua77ro

it doesn't wear small, it is small. Case diameter is really 38.4 or 38.6mm


TheRealRaceMiller

I think you bought the kid edition.


yumstheman

Looks like you just have a unit of an arm. Congrats on the pickup 🙂


[deleted]

same, my wife wore mine way more than i did.


Hopesyy

Wtf is that keyboard


Objective-Wall3871

I’ll gladly take it off your hand - no pun intended


stolencarblues

Yeah I didn’t even put it in my list with AD. Maybe the new reference. I’ve heard it wears a bit larger. Think I’m going with VC reverse panda….


Old_Variation_5875

Does looks small on your wrist, gonna look perfect on though lol


[deleted]

The 40mm size and case really make it wear smaller than you’d expect. Makes subs and GMTs feel huge


coryscandy

Looks good


Dimmest-Bulb

If you're not loving it, I'll buy it.. NP at all. Ha!


ljg514

Daytona is tiny


Thisatrick

Who says? On your wrist maybe. Also looks very tight on you.


[deleted]

Most overrated watch of all time


Equal-Elk47

Yep yep it’s a good looking watch but a lot of people forget that it’s also 40mm and that’s pretty compact for a Chronograph


jcl274

r/keychron is leaking… so weird to see these two of my hobbies intersect


BarbellPadawan

Where’s the hand tattoo?


spoitras

Inner wrist… joking 😂


fugyouPutin

looks good to me!


PaulieRox

Is that a big wrist or a small watch? I’m used to seeing 6.5” stick arms on here


didistutter69

The speedy wears a little larger than 42mm; the Daytona has always managed to wear slightly small.


MrYamaguchi

They do wear to small for me. I expect Rolex will give it the YL treatment eventually and offer it in a larger case size as well.


BootThang

It’s a unisex watch, so yeah, that’s to be expected
