I have a Vaer field watch and love it enough to not have pulled the trigger on a Hamilton for 3 years now. Mine is 38mm and I think that's perfect. I assume that diver is between 38 and 40mm? If so, I think that's perfect. It's big enough to have some presence and be eligible, but it doesn't take up too much real estate. I just think watches bigger than 40mm are tricky business as far as not looking large just to be large.
I should mention that around here, you're likely to get a lot of similar opinions. Watch nerds tend to like their watches on the smaller side. But if you like bigger watches, there are a ton of great options out there.
O I know … and normally 40 is fine but I’m a bigger guy and if the lug to lug is small a 40 sometimes looks too small on me … also I just feel divers looking better a little bigger , if we are talking a dress watch then fine , but a diver or a flieger that sits too small just look weird on me

Also my vaer field watch is one of my favorites and it’s a 40 … that looks proper that size on my wrist
Wonderful micro brand! Love your watch!
Cheers 2023!
Very happy with my D7 Arctic Swiss Diver.
I have a D4 solar which I think is the watch at the start of the thread.
Does it’s job as a grab and go watch. Good watch for the money.
