Is my hand too big for a Rolex?
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!

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

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

Of course you think it's small after wearing a 48mm...
I'd say the Milgaus is the perfect size for you.

Had a similar concern myself. However, this watch looks excellently proportioned!
Perhaps your wife has ulterior motives by trying to dissuade you? :P |

Not at all. I have small wrists and I have the GV.
IMHO anyone can pull off a 40mm watch. |

Perfect size for you! Milgauss looks great!
Just about anything is gonna feel small after wearing a Super Avenger. |

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!

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.

The way it is pictured, if you are trying to wear the watch on your palm, then trying to get past those spread out fingers might be a hurdle ....
But last time I checked, most people wear a watch on their wrist and the watch looks really good on your wrist.... I am just waiting for the thread "Do you wear your ROLEX on your ankle?"

They both look good, though I like the Milgauss better. Have you tried the Explorer II 42?
