Too Small or Just Right (Not Too Big), Round 2
Mr Daytona's thread made me want to ask the same question, as sometimes I feel that my wrist would be better off with a 42 or 44mm piece. Who knows, anyway, honesty appreciated, thanks.

Too small although I love it.

You could easily wear a bigger piece.
That does look fine though. |

Looks good. But I think that the real question should be asked to yourself.

I think 40 mm is the maximum you can wear.
36mm would look great on you too.

Looks fine to me....Clearly your wrist is suited for bigger as well but certainly not smaller as 36mm would look way too small IMHO!

looks great. but, i don't get wrapped up in size, going easily from 36 to 40 to 44. it's all about the watch and the mood.

Maxi case looks fine on your wrist, issue might be the bracelet at 20mm, probably 22mm will look better, they do on mine and my wrists are 7 inches.

Looks good to me, wouldn't want to go too much smaller.

Looks good, albeit a tad on the smaller side. The case makes it look real balanced on your wrist.

The watch looks perfectly sized on your wrist. It is certainly not too big or small in my opinion.

A bit small, but looks good nonetheless.

Just right. Doesn't get much better than that, IMO.

Looks perfect. Although you could go larger, I think this one looks well proportioned. I have 8" wrists and keep my watches around 40-41mm.

Looks much better than the Daytona. The lugs helps a lot. This one looks perfect

The watch looks perfect. I just don't understand how anyone would think that is too small. Looks great.

Maybe a bit smaller size. I think 42mm Exp2 would be just right size for you.

It definitely works. Looks much more proportioned than the Daytona because of the lugs. You could obviously go bigger. I think a 36m would look like a girls watch relative to your arm.
