42mm, 7 inch wrist. I feel 40mm is perfect on me.

I don't think I can post pics yet, but I have a 44mm Luminor that I think works on my 7.5" wrist. Have tried a 43mm Sea-Dweller that also worked.

7.25” and 45mm. I prefer 42mm to 45mm sized watches. 44mm being my absolute perfect size for any occasions.

This is my largest watch at 45mm and it has been on many dives.


44mm

Largest are 42mm. Wrist is 7.25”. I consider 38-40mm to be ideal for comfort and fit.

6.3ish and have anywhere from 38mm ROC to a 44mm Panerai. As long as lugs dont overhang, wear the watch as intended

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



Wrist size: 6.5in
Diameter: 44mm
Lug to lug: 54mm

My preference is 36-40mm diameter, and < 51mm lug to lug length.

I used to own this tuna can. It didn’t last a month. Mind you, my wrist is 6.375 and this watch is 52mm lug-to-lug.

7.75+ My largest watch is the SD43 and it is a great fit. I would love to try on the 126660 Deep Blue. I think 44mm would be the max for me.

6.5” and 42mm.

Will only wear 42mm watches if they are designed to wear large, the rest of my collection ranges between 37mm and 40mm.

47mm Pam690 on 7.25” round wrist

The Panerai Radiomir wears smaller than the size suggests.

6.5 inch wrist, Deepsea 116660, 126660, Yacht Master II all 44mm plus have owned 44mm ROO and a 45.5mm Omega planet ocean.
I don’t find any of them look to big, to me they are statement watches and should be large, when I’ve owned watches like the Daytona I find it too small and almost feminine

44mm
That POC is very nice, I am tempted by it, think the thickness needs to be in a large size to balance it out more, like 43-45mm. My current largest is the ROO 44mm, wears large but is fairly flat and spreads nicely over my wrist, so not top heavy, which is my bugbear. My wrist is also around 7-7.25 inches, esp in Lockdown.
