Solid point. That said, some tall, muscular dudes have tiny wrists. It would still work in my view, as long as the body is able to balance out the large size of the watch.

No it doesn't. It's just the angle. How people think an additional 3mm makes a big difference is beyond me.
I have a 6.4 wrist and it looks amaze balls on me. |

That's borderline, could go either way. In my mind if the lugs stretch out wider than your wrist then it is too big and yours is right on the line.

Those type of wrist shots are deceptive. Take a photo from a few feet away to see how other people see it.

This is a very good point. When people are taking photos 6in away, it looks entirely different than how everybody else sees the watch at 2-3feet away. |

Wear it above your bone - and it will sit better and not irritate your skin on the hand...

Looks fine to my tastes. Seems lugs are not overflowing but to edge if wrist. What size wrist yiu have?

People with fat wrists are basically fat people. So hit McDonald's for a few months and you'll soon "pull it off", assuming you don't have an MI. |

Slamming massive doses of HGH might increase your wrist size, but that's about it - besides getting fat. |

Looks big. Too big for my taste, but if you like the big watch look then it's passable. It's not grossly oversized for you, but a Sub/GMT would look better I think.
Then again I have the wrist/arm size to easily pull of this size watch and still wouldn't go that big for myself. Prefer 40mm. |

Does my SD43 look too big on me?
It's all about the wrist presence you want. It's big on your wrist, but nobody but you can say if it's too big or not. Here's a shot of my 40mm GMT2 on my 7 3/4" wrist. Too small? The only opinion that matters is mine, and I say it's fine.
Hers my 44.25mm Omega Speedmaster on that same wrist. Lots of wrist presence, but too much? Nay nay I say!

Ask a trusted friend or two what they think?
Maybe push it up your wrist a bit as well, but a beautiful watch that you should probably grab and try to love |

Looks just barely too big, but not too big that I think anyone would really notice. Just depends how you feel about it.
For me personally, spending that kind of money, I think I'd want it to fit better, but if it were a Pelagos or something that fit similarly, I would gladly buy it and wear it. Not sure if that makes a ton of sense, but just how I look at it. |

It definitely looks big in that photo, I wouldn't wear it if that was my wrist, but your opinion is all that matters here. An extra 3mm doesnt matter if your wrist is big enough, if it's borderline, then it absolutely matters.
Keep it, flip it for a quick profit, whatever floats your boat.

It doesn,t look too big because it is a BIG watch, it is made to have a large presence on the wrist

Based on the picture yes it is a little too big on your wrist. typically the lugs should not extend out to the edges of your wrist on either ends. But that's a matter of personal choice to the individual.
If you are asking the questions means you already came to this conclusion but looking for validation from the forum. I'm like you, not sure what size your wrist is but mine is 6.75 and the SubC is just perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
