I love Rolex and would to purchase a rolex miglauss but yet every time I try one on‚ I feel it is too smaller. Currently I wear a breitling super avenger which is 48mm but I feel that it is too big and not classy. Can you guys help me out?

IMO, the Milgauss looks VERY good on your wrist & hand; nice piece!

AmbSteve · 7 October 2012, 03:28 AM

Looks like the perfect size! Nice one

Yes. But if your wife thinks it is too small, it is not a Rolex that will change anything.

Of course, you're crazy. The watch in the picture looks absolutely correct on your wrist. Your 48mm Breitling must completely cover your wrist. That isn't a look I care for. Get the Rolex.

No.

I'd wear it higher on your wrist but it looks fine

Why should you wear a watch on his wrist?

Can you suggest some other possible sites where he could wear the watch?

Have to agree and far more comfortable above the wrist bone and how you are wearing the watches in the picture IMHO the Milgauss and Breitling look far to big for your wrist.Myself have a eight and a half size wrist, but quite happy wearing some of my vintage Rolex some of those are just 30mm.Same for wearing watches 40mm to 45mm sometimes bigger heavier is not always better..

floater156 · 7 October 2012, 03:33 AM

stop wearing the giant 48mm for a couple of weeks. The Milgauss looks good, maybe even a little on the big side for you.

Agree

sleddog · 7 October 2012, 03:33 AM

Of course you think it's small after wearing a 48mm...

I'd say the Milgaus is the perfect size for you.

What he said....

wristybusiness · 7 October 2012, 03:34 AM

Had a similar concern myself. However, this watch looks excellently proportioned!

Perhaps your wife has ulterior motives by trying to dissuade you? :P

Pghwatch · 7 October 2012, 03:55 AM

Not at all. I have small wrists and I have the GV.

IMHO anyone can pull off a 40mm watch.

Have you tired the DSSD?

travisb · 7 October 2012, 04:05 AM

Perfect size for you! Milgauss looks great!

Just about anything is gonna feel small after wearing a Super Avenger.

Watchflair · 7 October 2012, 04:07 AM

Yea I would have to say that it looks good. I think it's the right size for you. I think you are just too used to the larger watch. Almost like when you go to a car from driving a large suv/pickup or from a regular fit to tailored fit shirt, not what you are used to so it seems off. It's also a great choice!

Vincent65 · 7 October 2012, 04:25 AM

no - looks great

MrLee · 7 October 2012, 04:28 AM

Think that looks perfect

gwalker · 7 October 2012, 04:41 AM

I have fairly large wrists (7.75-8".) I have 3 luxury watches, a SubC 40mm,a DSSD at 44m, and an AP ROO chrono at 44mm. IMHO the AP is my favorite but the Sub is the perfect watch. 40mm is the perfect size. I won't ever buy a watch larger than the AP. I love the DSSD but IMHO just too damn thick. Stop wearing the "wrist clock" for a week or so and then try a Rolex. I bet you will love it.

Grissom · 7 October 2012, 04:42 AM

Looks perfect!

My god, you have biceps for wrists.

But the Sub will always look good on any wrist.
