As others have said try one on if you can. Wrist size sometimes is not as important as wrist shape.

i think the polar would stand out more if your wrist is not as pronounced. that said, try both faces and see what works better. from my experience, the black face appears smaller at a glance. i've had both and always felt the polar looked larger on my wrist, which i wanted due to my 7.5" flat size.

good luck

The ExpII is my favorite reference of all modern Rolexes. Here it is on a 7.5" wrist.

Somehow, it looks small on you Chris but in the good way. You need get some pams 47mm or ym2 44mm.

I'm sure it looks fine. Better too big than too small imo

I have 7.2 wrists and the subc looked much better on me than the Expy which looked too big, esp the white dial.

I'm exactly the same size and I think it looks a little big. Big in a slightly-flashy-but-not-totally-obnoxious way.
