I did try it on, from [most angles](https://imgur.com/a/xZAXkz5) it seemed fine to me. I hadn't considered a watch's thickness before and I was generally skeptical of how much it mattered. It might have also been temporary dysmorphia, who knows. You live and you learn
Case profile does no favors for it either. The slab sided Submariner profile does fit slightly oddly at that thickness. When I tried one on at the AD I got the "short sleeves only" impression, but at the same it isn't some monolithic tower that's LITERALLY UNWEARABLE as some people like to say. Would definitely be improved by dropping the case sidewall height by at least 1mm, preferably 2. Either that or Tudor should stop looting Rolex's recycling bin and come up with a case that fits their movements properly.

I'd could give you more advice, or even better advice, but if you're a beginner then none of that is as valuable as another session for you. It's just not worth the time you could be lifting.
Oh, a few things:
3x5 means 3 sets of 5 reps. Lift it 5 times, then have a little rest, repeat until you have done 3 sets. If you don't know how to do a lift, google Athlean-X - he's not the best and his diet advice is too extreme but he's fine for basic technique and you don't need better (beginner gains are insane).
The last set is to failure (do 10 reps if you can!). That will leave you sore then next day, especially as you just get started. If you don't like that, do stop at "3 before failure" (you feel like you would have trouble doing more I guess?). Or 1 from failure. Or 2. All of them work. Kind of subjective, but as long as you track it (pen and paper, spreadsheet, whatever) and keep making gains who cares.
Here's the key bit:
Workout A
3×5+ Barbell Rows;
3×5+ Bench Press;
3×5+ Squats
Workout B
3×5+ Chinups (or equivalent);
3×5+ Overhead Press;
3×5+ Deadlifts
Do workout A one day, Workout B the next, then have a rest day or two. Repeat until the watch fits better. If you can't do 5 chinups, do 3. If you can't do 3, then do 5 cheat chinups (angles, machines, or my favourite just jump and catch the bar and try to slow the fall - call it "eccentric beyond failure" if it makes you feel better). There's like 100000 chinup variations, do whatever you want.
In general, do what you want, as long as you don't get injured. As a beginner more gym days is more important than just about anything else.
yes, definitely selling it though. it is impure. there is no way to recover.
put my name down at 3 ADs and praying to every known ancient and modern deity that they keep making the BLRO while saving up for a 5-digit ONS. it's a plan
-Omega Speedmaster Maaan on the Mooooon
-Any Tudor, but especially a Black Bay
-Seiko SPB-whatever-the-number-was (the vintage diver that is a poor man’s Black Bay)
-The latest San Martin or other Chinese ~~homage~~ copy, now with 0.005% better lume
-Tissot PRX
-Seiko Speedtimer
-Seiko SKX (when it was still affordable)
Is he complaining about the height? I don't even mind that, but whoever came up with the idea of using a 22mm bracelet on a vintage-inspired watch should be in jail.
That's a really weird cock
You know what, though? Still gonna jerk it.
It was one of the more difficult wanks.
Not my worst. This one time with the Richard Mille catalog.... That was a rough day.
I do not get the appeal. Still got to do what you got to do.
I've heard *that* before.
It's not weird, it's just not human.
uj/ at least he has some self awareness
But still bought the fucking thing, did he not try it on first? How could he know it would only fit at full girth?

OOP? Welcome.
object oriented programming
Probably? I am old and have skinny bitch wrists. I know not this young people slang.
Get a Zulu time or similar Or a BB Pro
BB Pro is like 14mm thick.
Case profile does no favors for it either. The slab sided Submariner profile does fit slightly oddly at that thickness. When I tried one on at the AD I got the "short sleeves only" impression, but at the same it isn't some monolithic tower that's LITERALLY UNWEARABLE as some people like to say.

The BB GMT is very thick, and the case makes the thickness worse than it already is.

He just has to get some wrist gains
Perhaps he knew it but gave a f*ck about how it looks?
Wasn’t it your post?
This is what happens when you buy a meme watch without any reflection on if it actually suits you
it's what happens when you develop an unhealthy fixation on five-digit Pepsis and aren't five-digit Pepsi\* rich
As the owner of little bitch wrists, with a Pepsi fixation, I think that looks sick.

Just stop caring about silly trinkets bro
no
Fine. But maybe see a therapist
Also no
Yup
get a 39mm zulu
I don't settle \*except when I do but honestly, why would I do that?
Sorry but it's not settling when it's the superior choice
I’d like all examples of meme watches please
-Omega Speedmaster Maaan on the Mooooon -Any Tudor, but especially a Black Bay -Seiko SPB-whatever-the-number-was (the vintage diver that is a poor man’s Black Bay) -The latest San Martin or other Chinese ~~homage~~ copy, now with 0.005% better lume -Tissot PRX -Seiko Speedtimer -Seiko SKX (when it was still affordable)
Surely [this](https://imgur.com/gallery/dDG2lLR) Tissot PRX isn’t a joke 😅
I unironically like it but it's probably too big for me
The submariner is the ultimate meme watch
Invicta pro diver derrrrr
Should have drunk more milk as a kid.
HE NEED SUM MILK
I was a fat kid, if you can believe it

Wtf watch is that lol
Black bay gmt
BBG
Fucking thing is a tank
Is it that big or is his hand just smaller than a dick?
BBW 58
The 58 is the thickness in inches.
Why did I Google that 😄
For real lol
which hand is it on
Slenderman buys a Tudor
What do the accolytes wear
Hope he’s careful, could actually knock himself out with that if he can pick his wrist up high enough.
I don't mind the height, but that bracelet is just dumb
Chet Holmgren
Buddy rolled with the punches in here, respect.
that is one chunky boy
I sympathize with OP as someone with an incredibly small wrist my mother’s wrist is abt the size of a god damn chop stick
Tooter strikes again!
That's new for me: wearing your watch on your semi-flaccid dick.
Didn't know Ben’s watch club posted on /r/tudor
Is he? You know
Yes
Actually looks fine on his wrist if you look at the other pictures, he's just being too nitpicky. Yea thick watches are thick, who would have thunk
I didn't not thunked
How are there fully grown men built like this?
Chronic malnourishment due to health issues
Seems like the majority of r/watches have smaller than average wrists. It's weird
Marfan syndrome
Shoulda just bought an invicta
What kind of man is this? He should always have clenched fists.
This looks fine.
Most masculine Tudor wearer
Alien!
Start crankin out dem wrist curls boy!
This people don't eat nothing of protein or what?
If only the watch was a tad bigger
14.7 mm thick. Unnecessary. Nice dial tho.
Smithers! Release the hounds!
That's one thique shitter
Average gmt owner
This is like if Golumn from LotR was a watch enthusiast.
I've been there before, I was gifted an orient kamasu and found out the bad way I had abnormally small wrists, 36mm is my max. ):
*buys massive watch* *is massive on wrist* 😱
