What's your largest watch, and what's your wrist size?

Looks great on you. This design, big as it is, looks great on smaller wrists. Many 44mm watches cannot achieve that feat.

I have a Shinola Argonite and at 47 mm is just ridiculous. And the battery is toast and needs replacing again. That was my first real watch from about 6 years ago.

I have a 7.25-7.5-inch wrist. And I wear a Deepsea Sea Dweller, a Sky Dweller and a 47mm Panerai. Here are pics of the DSSD and Sky Dweller.

I wore a 44mm Breitling Chronomat Evo which I since have sold.

Now I’m wearing this discontinued Cartier Roadster Chronograph XL gifted by my wife. I always had a fascination with this particular model when I was younger. It’s a tank on my 7” wrist but I love it!




Next to the Santos for comparison.

If it's too big, I generally don't buy it and if I only realize it after buying I sell. Same for too small. I don't subscribe to the idea that if it doesn't overhang it's OK. I think a watch looks best if we can see some bracelet when looking at the face and not look like a 12 inch clock lashed to a 10 inch tree branch. To each his own though, just don't ask me to say it looks good.

I wish I could wear a 47mm because I’d get a 372 but it looks ridiculous on me :D

40mm on a 6.5in wrist. In truth though some of my older battery powered watches go up to 53mm; no interest in wearing them. (some old photos below.)

Do it. It will complement your AP. It feels like a $20k chronograph with off the chart wrist presence. Build quality and fit and finish is top shelf. The large display case back spreads the weight out for all day comfort. Honestly, its probably the best technical diver made as the chrono buttons work under water and dont need screw down pushers.

19.5cm I think and 42 mm seamaster. Could go a smidge larger but only a smidge... deep sea looks ridiculous on me.

6.75" wrist. 42mm Omega Seamaster is largest. Depends on lug-to-lug distance and taper to the wrist as well as case diameter. I would not go larger than the Seamaster. Probably the best fit on me is the Tudor Black Bay 58 (39mm case).

Wrist is 6"/154mm. Largest and smallest watches below.



If a watch is genuinely too big for my wrist, there's always Plan B, the ankle.

My Submariner 114060 and Speedmaster Pro on a leather strap both have a lug to lug size of around 48mm.

Wrist size is between 7.25 and 7.5”.
