Can I pull it off?
Interested in the ceramic offshore Chrono 26405ce with the blue hands. Since they didn’t have it in stock they showed me the new green ceramic offshore chrono for me to try it for size.
Do you guys think I can pull it off? Currently wearing the diver as my daily. The salesperson said the ceramic being black will make it look smaller on my 6.5” wrist.

Agreed, wear what you like, but since you are asking, my opinion = too big.

Looks great on you and pics aways make watch look big. But having said that, I personally find the watch big. I have a 42mm AP volcano and it's about as big as I'll ever go on a watch given the lugs are right at the ends of my wrist.

Looks big to me, but if you are comfortable with the size, then own it!
Cheers. |

From that angle, the watch is almost same size as your fist.

Not the best angle but my take is you can do it if you're comfortable with a large watch.
Personally I have the 26405ce and it is right on the edge of what my 7' flat wrist can handle.

close wrist shots always look bigger. you need to stand in front of a mirror and look.

pic is too close so makes it look way too big. Take it from a few feet away or even a full body shot. The black CE will look smaller as well. Its an AWESOME piece and super light weight/comfortable so I so go for it.

I agree with others here. It looks a little big on you. I've always said, if you want a smallish wrist to look even smaller, slap a large watch on it.

As you asked - imho, it is (much) too big unless the angle is just creating that impression. It looks like the lugs are past the edge of your wrist. Check out the new 42s with CE bezel instead perhaps ?

Pic is too close in so I'd say it is OK on you, tight but OK for a ROO.

I think it’s too big but it’s also close up. I bet it looks fine at a normal distance. Most importantly, do you like it? I have barely a 7 inch wrist and i would wear an IWC big pilot, regardless of how it looked.

Watch like that, it’s not just the size of your wrist but of your frame/body overall.
Was that combat sold? |

Distance, angle and how it looks like you have your wrist curled doesn’t really allow us to get a full view on fitment.
Take a pic from a distance with your wrist in a more natural position. Keep in mind and this is not in opposition to comments above the ROO is designed to be a big stand out piece so opinions can be subjective based on the viewers likes rather then the actual fit. At the end of the day you are the wearer, how do you feel about the fit? Maybe take a view in a full length mirror a bit like the comment above it’s not just your wrist size that can help carry off a big watch, it’s meant to look big but not silly. |

Looks way too big but you wouldn’t be the first smaller wrist guy wearing a oversized watch that drapes over your wrist on both sides. Now that’s the truth but if you want the standard enablement answer here I can change my answer to it looks great go for it!

X1000 and I have 6.6 inch wrists and cant wear the 42 or 44s. Easy pass IMO
