Biggest Rolex?

It seems like Rolex is on the smaller side.. What model Rolex has the biggest face? Ideally I like a 46/48mm.... Whats my best option?

Even it is only 44mm. Rolex likes to stay in the "tasteful" range.

With this exception:

The DSSD is the largest overall. However, for largest dial, my guess would be the newer 42mm Explorer II.

Sounds like we're getting into Invicta territory.

I love the explorer ii, it seems like it's a decent size. A little less pricey than the DSSD too, lol

What about the YMII? It's fairly big too, right?

Forgot about these - I think they check in at 44mm. Never been on my radar screen due to the price and for other reasons.

I think the Sky Dweller also checks in at 42mm, but really high price.

DeepSea is the biggest, baddest and most technologically advanced Rolex Diver.

OK I had plenty of bourbon, all small wrist wussies I'm ready for your excuses.

I would agree with this ^^^^ assessment. A few quick and dirty pics to compare...

Great comparison shots!

Surprised how the Explorer fairs pretty well in head-on comparison shots.

You're right Zack, the YM II has a massive presence indeed....especially in all gold. Turned me off of it.

Yeah, its a monster. I found it to be too heavy for my tastes. Maybe ok on a RubberB. Looks bad though for sure

You want a 46 mm watch Rolex not for you and you better go PAM.

Biggest Rolex mite be this one but this just mite be a little to big even for guys who like big watches. The crystal and crown on this baby just outrageous.
