A question from Prince Hamlet (who I am reliably informed had smallish wrists!)

Too big or not to big that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the mind to admit that size IS everything, or to stick with my heart against a sea of feedback that the bulk is absurd, and by opposing them......thoughts??

...Or to take Arms against A Sea of troubles (too many great Rolex-watches to choose from),
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep With that kind of AMAZING WHITE SKYDWELLER!
Looking stunning!

As long as it doesn't feel too big you should be fine. It doesn't look like it's hanging over your wrist to me. It does have a classic look in white.
Also a white dial will appear to look bigger than a dark one.

It looks too big to my taste, but this shouldn’t matter to you.

IMHO it appears to be too large for your wrist. My wrist is just shy of 7 inches and I couldn’t pull that off and be comfortable. Great looking SD though. At the end of the day it’s up to you, but you asked so...

IMO it is too big, the lug to lug size is about the same as your wrist.

It is a big watch, but i think it looks good on you.

It's all subjective anyway, so if you like it, that's all that counts.

It looks GREAT. Watches always look much larger in pics when taken up close so no worries.

Are you wearing that watch, or is that watch wearing you?
In all honesty, it's too large for your wrist. Lug ends should rest within the borders of the wrist for a proper fit.

I am sure you will get the answer from both side. IMHO, the most important is whether you like the looks or not. Some times ago I asked a lady, who wrist size is around 6 inches and she was wearing a Panerai, how she feel about the size of the watch. She told me it looks great. The conclusion is get what you want as you are the one who wear it.

Ever seen a little dog and a big dog together?
Yeah - the little dog barks his heart out at the big dog, because NFG.

My point is that wrist to watch ratios are just like dogs: numbers be damned...what is in the heart is the only thing that matters.

If you like it, good on ya ⭐️

Not too big, you can just pull it off and I think it looks great. As long as the lugs are not sticking out past your wrist I think you're good.

You put it out to the forum. So I'll say that to my taste, it looks too big. But I like the watch lugs well within the width of my wrist, so many would say that the watches I wear are too small.
