I agree , they are small . I don't mind wearing smaller watches . I do prefer 40mm + , but still like wearing the smaller watches . They would look even smaller on you Nick , what size wrist are you 8 inch + ?

Lost some weight, so about 8.5 now, but it won't get much smaller than that. At my "rugby" weight, it will be just over 8.

Congrats on the weight loss mate . 8/8.5 inch wrist , it's understandable why you don't like the smaller sizes Nick

^^^^^^ Yes I know that one also has a white dial and black bezel, but I think the one with the sub dials would be more appropriate!

You may as well sell the GS now, terrible watch! Also way too similar to the Daytona ...

You may have a point... but the GS is a keeper - as much as anything is a keeper.
