I've read it looks too big on the wrist, too fake "bling," doesn't go well with a suit, etc.

Personally, I think it's really sharp. I just don't want to buy it and regret it.

Why not go with the 42-20?

Well to be honest, I'm looking at buying the 51-30 lightly used at almost half price.

Nixons go better with skateboards and energy drinks than suits and ties.

I'm not a fan, personally. If you really want a big watch, there are better ones out there.

Do not like. For a big diver look try the Seiko Black Monster.

looks pretty bling bling but pretty inoffensive as far as watches go

i've seen this exact watch before in person..it is pretty huge...in my opinion it is too big. the person who was wearing it was 6 foot 4 with long arms and it still looked huge. It looks like you're wearing a wall clock on your arm....
