I’m pretty much the same build as you. I’m just under 6ft, 6.25” wrist, and am huskier guy from working as a construction electrician. I just got a bluesy and it looks great on me. My wife and others have complimented on how the watch looks. My wife in particular says the sizing is great and she always commented how my Explorer I looked a tad small when I wore it.

As others have mentioned, try to look at yourself with the watch as a whole and not just focus on your hand/wrist. This will give you a better gauge of how you’ll look wearing the watch out in the world. Also remember that this “41mm” watch is really 40.5mm as measured by many reviewers. With the reshaped slimmed down lugs compared to the old 116610, you’ll see the symmetry in the watch wears smaller than the size indicates.

Ever had a look at the G.O. SeaQ 39mm? It's freaking beautiful and has classic proportions.

The too large threads are slowly taking the crown off of the perennial champion: is it safe

To the OP,

No, it’s not too large, also, it’s safe to wear it in Vegas but don’t invite girls you don’t know to your room and last but not least it is not an investment, we don’t know if it’ll cross 50k anytime soon and we don’t really care, for it wouldn’t look any different on your wrist, where it belongs and looks darn fine!

This! I just mentioned this watch up thread, it's gorgeous. Which color do you have? Wrist shots?? I've never actually tried this watch on, but I've heard great things. For me, the micro adjust on current Seamaster Heritage is probably the best I've tried. Plenty of adjustment on a very elegant clasp.

Blue. The clasp is so much more comfortable than the Sub

No.... others might ask if it's too small on their wrist. If you like it, wear it. I think it looks good.

Yes it works! My wrist is only slightly larger and the 41mm fits great.

A 41-42mm watch is not going to look enormous. People with the hanging over the wrist shite are full of it. It may look a little larger, but it will still be very respectable and it’s a nice watch after all. Not like you’re wearing a 54mm invicta.
