Have you actually tried one on? I’d say that’s absolutely essential before committing any money to this watch. If it’s the piece I think you mean, it’s just under 46mm wide, and 18mm thick. (Not sure where you’re located, but for perspective you can take a US dime and hold it vertically on your wrist—that’s a thick watch.) The lug to lug (span across the wrist) dimension—if you count the extent of the end links—is something like 56mm. Not sure how big your wrist is: for me, that’s several mms wider than my wrist, so it would overhang quite awkwardly. On a strap it’s a little better, but still huge.

All to say, unless you have a very large wrist, this might be a rather unwearable or at least clownishly large watch. The standard PO is pretty thick but that’s part of its aesthetic (love it or not). These gigantic ones have always struck me more as technical marvels, but not as watches most people would actually want to wear: like a piece you’d buy just as a collector or something to handle.

For what it’s worth.

Just make sure to verify its authenticity before plopping money on it. The Deep Black has the most realistic fake and I've seen many pawn shops and resellers being duped by it over the years.

They're chonky for sure.

I have a 7" wrist and I mostly wear mine in the warmer months. They dont fit or look quite right under a coat sleeve.

The ceramic makes them really light and scratch resistant too though. Very comfy to wear when there are no sleeves to get in the way.

I have the LE Casamigos version:

But if you are in the habit of wearing an actual dive suit on a daily basis, the watch should fit on your wrist without a problem. Or maybe if you wore chainmail under long sleeves and wore the watch on top of your sleeve. That'd work.

Very nice watch. If you have a larger wrist you can pull it off. A little too chunky for me.
