GMT Master II 116710 LN size issue... Help!

Hi everyone, im thinking on getting the Black GMT but im not sure about the size, since its a sports watch I might be able to wear 40mm.
Im also considering a DJ 36mm.. Any thoughts would be helpful! Wrist size: 6.75/ 17 cms.

I think it looks great and the size will work well when the bracelet is sized for you.

I agree with the gentleman above; your wrist looks perfectly suited for the case size.

40mm is universal fit. Watches always look bigger in pictures. You’re good.

Completely agree with the above.

I have the same size wrist and wear my BLNR with no problems.

Enjoy!

Folks around here only think maxed out pieces are the right size. I have a 7" wrist and 40mm is as big as I'm comfortable wearing. The DJ would be a better fit for you, imo. Of course, if you want the GMT function, though . . . .

I have a 6.5” wrist and wear up to 44mm.
Wear what makes you happy, not what folks on a forum looking at a camera lens distorted perspective of what the watch supposedly looks like on you, think it looks like.

The GMT is the best fitting sports watch in the line-up for me, and we have almost exactly the same size wrists. I say pull the trigger...

40mm fits well on your size wrist. You could go 42mm + and be fine in a more casual watch too.

My wrist 6'5". I have no problem wearing DSSD 44mm. So, I see no issue with you wearing 40mm watch. And it's look good from the pic.

Incidentally, I have a 6.5” wrist, a DJ36, and a GMT II. I think it’s perfect no matter which way you go.

Looks great. I have the same reference. I had an Air King (34mm) for 10 years and convinced myself a 40mm watch was too big for my wrists. Now that I have the GMT I’ve found myself looking at watches even bigger lol.

Go for it! Here's mine, I have a 6.5 inch wrist, and it wears perfectly. Having a correctly-sized bracelet is a must, and gives it a much better feeling on the wrist. Enjoy!

Let's get this straight, you have an AD that has a black GMT in stock and your worried about how well it fits you? It looks fine. Buy it before someone else does.
