It’s way too big, buts that’s the point.

I had it for a few months (10) then sold it because the rounded crystal annoyed me. I loved everything about the watch however, and with a flat sapphire (not possible I know), it would have stayed in my collection.

I had the 126660 and loved it- the dial, the heft, the height. I have a 7" flatish wrist so it sat nicely there.
As a daily, not so much. It was really a nice weekend piece. Never fit under a cuff. It's supposed to be big. It's supposed to be thick. It's a statement piece.
So, I finally sold it and even with the market settling, I only lost $1000. Not bad. It was a life lesson. I also have a 43.5 Omega Planet Ocean so that'll be my big boy diver.

When I took it off at the end of the day, my wife said, "it's like how I feel at the end of the day when the bra comes off."
I got that.

It all depends on your wrist size and shape, I'd say you try it on.

I will admit I got my BLNR on jubilee recently and it is far more comfortable to wear between the jubilee bracelet and the smaller dimensions. That said, I love strapping on the JC frequently. Today as an example I reached for it in the safe instead of the BLNR. The comments about it being a great weekend watch are dead on in my book. Love wearing it a day or two a week, but if I had to pick one Rolex to daily (out of the two I have now) I’d choose the BLNR first.

Not at all it looks perfectly sized on your wrist.

Too big for some people and still too small for others. Like the bowls of porridge.
