IMHO the SA looks too large for your wrist. I have a 44 mm Steelfish and a 46.5 mm Zenith Defy Classil. If the lugs don't overhang your wrist you're fine. In your pic the SA's lug appear to ovehang your wrist.

I think it looks fine, although wrist shots can be deceiving
The Milgauss is right down on your hand, so difficult to get a proper idea of how it looks on you Switching from a larger to smaller watch (& vice-versa) usually requires a day or two of readjustment

The DSSD looked too big, the Breitling was definitely too big in my opinion. The Datejust looked good, but I also belive the Milgauss looked best on your wrist. Just my opinion.

totally agree with you Karis.
To the OP, the Milgauss is a MUCH better fit on your wrist than your SA. I know you might think that I am a Rolex brain washed dummy, however truth be told im a recent Rolex convert. I have owned a Breitling bentley Motors T, Breitling Super Avenger, Breitling Bentley GT racing and a Breitling bentley GT ice. After going through all these pieces i know realize that they were WAY TOO BIG for my wrist. your wrist size from the pics looks around 7 inches so most Rolex watches will look amazing on you. IMO the real trick to picking watches has nothing to do with dial size and everything to do with lug to lug length. You try on a AP ROO and compare that to your SA and you will see what I mean |

The Milgauss looks like a great size for your wrist. If you want it to look a little bigger, try the white version, since light-faced watches tend to wear a bit larger even though the cases are the same size.

Nobody's hand is too big for that watch. Some wrists; perhaps, but on yours it is about perfect.

Out of all of them I defiantly think the milgauss looks the best on your wrist.

if you keep spreading your fingers out when you take photos of course your hand is going to look bigger.

they are two different watches, one classic and one sporty! Don't sell the breitling, it look marvellous on you. You just need to add some more other watches to your collection, so you can switch for each occasion ! |

The Breitling is so gigantic it looks cartoonish. The Rolex looks fly on your wrist.

Go with the DSSD. You won't be disappointed. By far the best Rolex out there.

Size-wise, I actually prefer the Milgauss over the Breitling. Though they're both beautiful watches. But it really boils down to your own preference and not what others think.

Milguass. The huge watches just make your wrist look smaller.

Can't believe this thread has legs. Anything bigger than 41mm is just too big for you.
