BLNR to small for my 8.5 inch wrist?

Hopefully these have been uploaded correctly.

I know the bracelet is too tight and I'll obviously need more links but do you think the BLNR is too small for me?

I currently wear a 42mm Tag which some consider to be oversized but on me it looks perfectly normal.

Really want the BLNR but just worried about the size.

That's a bad angle. It looks like it's way too tight on you, try adding a link. In terms of size, I think it's fine if it didn't choke your poor poor wrist.

With the bracelet fitted correctly it will be fine and looking good on your wrist.

It's fine.

Recommend you also try on the 41mm DJII, 42mm EXPII and the Deep Sea.

It's fine. Pull the trigger, add a link and enjoy your new BLNR.

to be honest .. you need 42MM size watch to look perfect.
But 40MM its not bad either, but not perfect.

It will look great but add a link before you get gangrene!

Looks fine to me but if you think it is too small in your head it could always seem that way to you. You might need two links if you give it a go.

I would go for an Exp II and see how that looks or a DSSD. Just for comparison.

Then give yourself some cooling-off time to think it over.

Looks small on both big wrist pics posted (smaller on the second one)
You should consider a DSSD.

I'd wear it on your wrist. You already have a 42mm watch; there is nothing wrong with adding a little variety to your collection!
