Howdy,

Respectfully speaking, obsessing over wrist size is a waste of your time on earth, especially when we are talking about two to three millimeters.

Its like obsessing over other physical deficiencies that fail to reach your expectations, wether its height, hairline, weight, or some other perceived short comings. Either accept it and be happy, or go mad.

By any modern standard, the watch is not too big. My advice, wear it and be glad its yours, it will look great on you.

Take care,

Ruddiger

Nonsense. A 10K suit will still look bad if its not perfectly tailored. Sure wear what you want and what ever makes you happy. You can also wear white socks in your moccasins but you will look like a fool.

Simply go for a watch size that suit your wrist size. I've seen so many pics with guys with '6inch wrists trying to pull off 44mm offshores and just end up looking ridiculous. There are many watches that i love but i simply cannot wear because there are to big or to small.

I won't give a **** how somebody wears his watch or his jeans. This watch is not very small but not over large by any means. That ap's and a lot of other watches Breitling etc is a complete other ballpark of size. i have 0.5cm on both sides of both lugs ''over'' on my wrist before i had any overhang and i have a 6.3 inch wrist. The guy is most likely completely fine and i absolute hate people with very small watces that are strapped round the wrist like a big sausage in the sauna imo this is a tool watch with a reason and it isn't supposed to fit ''extremely small'' Im sure he is fine.

I’ll be brief - 42mm exp 2 on a 6.5inch wrist will wear big. May not seem like it after trying it on for 30 seconds, but trust me after a day or two it will feel too large in comparison to a GMTc
