dluddy Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 How Submariners always look bigger on someone elses wrist? I met up with a buddy I hadn't seen in many years yesterday and he had a classic 16610 Sub. It looked much bigger that I feel mine look on my wrist. And he is bigger than me Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I know exactly what you mean D. Met up with a few RWG veterans on Monday evening and one was wearing his 14060. It looked much bigger on him that I envision my sub looking on my wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yep, I have the same feeling. They always look bigger on someone elses wrist than on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Agreed. It's quite an optical illusion. Makes me wonder how stupid I look when I wear a Pam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I saw a reporter wearing a Sub/GMT the other day on the news, and it looked pretty big on his wrist too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Agreed. It's quite an optical illusion. Makes me wonder how stupid I look when I wear a Pam. Whew, at least I'm not the only one who feels stupid too. Sent from my SGS II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think the sub is a good size, but I do prefer the PO big size. But I agree, subs always look big on passers by than my wrist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giobo Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think it is because we in here have enormous wrists lol !!! So it looks pretty small!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I am so happy to hear such distinguished members say this. I even gave my Sub LV to my son and now everytime I see him with it on it looks bigger than it ever did on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Very common. And I think most reps are slightly undersized. I've never seen a WM9 V2 in person, but most other 16610 reps I've ever seen are slightly off in proportion. I took my 90's era TW Best sub to an AD once (*gasp*) and was commenting to the sales woman how I liked the newer models without lugholes. We put them side by side, and she didn't know up from down, but it was obvious to me that the rep was a hair small. Now I only have a gen 16610 sitting in a safe, and no reps. The gen 16610 is actually starting to show some return on investment now too... As strange as that sounds. But sellers are now commanding inflated prices almost everywhere.

ubiquitous Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think that the size of a Sub (height and width) is classic. I can wear mine anywhere for anything and it never looks inappropriate or out of place. Very versatile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wat44 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think that the size of a Sub (height and width) is classic. I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
