chiefsalami 0 Posted February 12, 2010 What's the largest (in terms of body size) Rolex model? I like the Sub and Seadwellers, or even the Daytona, because I love chronos the best. But I'm looking for a large watch. I'm a huge fan (and owner) of the 48.5mm Breitling Super Avenger, and I would like to find a Rolex similar in size. Can someone point me in the right direction and hopefully the best place(s) to get the best rep? thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybee 0 Posted February 12, 2010 I don't know but does Rolex make a case bigger than 40mm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted February 12, 2010 DSSD or YachtMaster II, both 44mm unless I'm mistaken... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GC 4,524 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) OK, so how about something nicer? Not from Rolex...43mm-44mm is their largest offerings as sconehead already said it's YMII or DSSD. Edited February 12, 2010 by G.Curcio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted February 12, 2010 DSSD is 43mm, YMII is 42mm. DSSD is beautiful, YMII is ugly. Unfortunately DSSD is the biggest offspring of ROLEX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiefsalami 0 Posted February 12, 2010 ah... beefy! Is it only available with the black dial? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted February 12, 2010 ,if you like big watches buy a 48mm bigbang or a AP survivor or a cartier santos maxi One word. Panerai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiefsalami 0 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) I know they are big, but not really my style. I do have one military style watch. It's a 50mm (!!!) Chase-Durer: here. Very cool. One word. Panerai. I just checked out rolex.com as suggested. I don't think there is going to be a model that will work for me. The DSSD is the closest in size, but only available with the black dial. And I already have too many black watches or watches with black dials. I want a white one. I may just have to go with another Breitling SA, but this time in the white on steel version. 48.5mm, ideally.

trksh-bzr 3 Posted February 12, 2010 ahey I know this ain't exactly the size you're looking for but at least the dial isn't black, so give it a chance... http://www.watchsilix.com/pic/images/rol82-8.jpg couldn't help myself, good luck with the hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted February 12, 2010 Let me help you out with that link: I guess it makes up for the smaller size with the extra flash! You don't need to go big to be noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatronSaintofChainsaws 1 Posted February 12, 2010 The early Panerai Radiomirs, since Rolex technically made those. Also, the Deep Sea Special was pretty big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiefsalami 0 Posted February 12, 2010 Yeah, Panerai is just not my style. I'm not much for the antique look, other than maybe an old-school military watch, which I already have and don't want to add to. I'm looking for something modern and on a metal band, like the Breitling SA mostly. Chrono is a big plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
