Is this look big on me?

No, it’s the 41mm version - same size. It’s just the white gold bezel which is different to yours.

Here it is.

Gorgeous watch, but for my 6.5" wrist it would be too large for my taste. 38-40mm is the sweet spot for me.

It's probably just the angle, and it's pretty much inside his hips, and he likes it.

That kinda brings up the whole "wrist shape" vs "wrist circumference" thing.

I think it looks smaller (but good) on you and my wrist measures 7.25-7.5 ".

picture doesn't do the justice. I have 6.5" wrist and wear 44mm watch. I have other 40mm and smaller watches. But 44mm DSSD is my favorite daily watch. I asked many people's opinion if the watch looks big on me, everyone who I asked said watch looks good. I think if you keep this "big" watch, it will become your favorite one.

I've got used to wearing most any size. If I like the watch and it pushes my buttons it goes on my wrist

Nothing wrong with mixing it up.

And to the OP, no, I think the SD looks fine on your wrist.

I have 6.75 inch wrist

I thought I maxed out at 42mm. I passed on SD43 because it just felt overwhelming on my wrist and that goes for SkyD

However when I tried on Panerai Luminor 44mm. It felt just right :)

I think it overall it depends on wrist width not just diameter, how the watch "feels", most importantly if you like it or not

Yes, exactly!

I’m yet to establish whether wrist sizes quoted are on the ‘generous’ size haha, or as you say, wrist shape really making that much of a difference - which I think is the case.

For this sort of photo it looks great. I know my wrist shots don’t look great of mine but in practice I’ve got no issues with the SkyD on my 6.5 inch wrist. The other thing I’d say about the Photo is how far up the wrist you’re wearing the watch. I like mine much closer to the hand.

Of course, and that’s a great way to be, I’m only kidding.

Look good on your wrist. If it wears comfortable and you love the watch, then enjoy and wear it in good health.

If you're asking you, probably won't feel comfortable wearing it.

If the SubC was too big for you, then the white dial SkyD is going to be too big.

I would skip it.

It's a matter of personal taste. IMHO, it's big for you.

Looking good, great watch, but I am sorry to tell you that it makes your wallet look big. I could take it off your hands, but that would only make your wallet bigger, so I think you are facing a serious problem :(

Enjoy your awesome watch, buddy. I think your watch is pushing the limits, but I think you can pull it off.

Wrist shape makes a huge difference.

A flat 6.75 inch wrist will be wider than a round 7.5 inch wrist, an be able to carry off a larger diameter watch as a result.

Op. It’s a bigger watch and you have smaller wrists. But it’s impossible to tell from a picture like that taken with a wide angle phone camera (I suspect?)

Can you take one in a mirror from further away?

From my point of view it looks too big, I would not wear it. However I see lots of people wearing watches I consider too big for their wrist, and I doubt anyone really cares in the open world. So if you like it you should wear it.

This picture below is what I consider a perfect fit.
