Usually it’s the opposite

It looks good to me. I have been wearing the BBGMT since it's release and I have a 7" wrist.

This is incorrect: the white Exp II looks bigger than the black Exp II, a white vehicle looks bigger than its black equivalent and a little black dress is an icon for a reason.

Google the Irradiation Illusion.

Excellent advice! I was going to suggest the same, but you beat me to it! Different time zones...!

The watch looks fine on your wrist. My personal standard for that aesthetic is whether or not the lugs extend beyond the width of the wrist.

Big watches are in and have been for much longer than I have anticipated, although I did read recently that the pendulum has begun to slowly, swing back now.

The real criteria are whether or not you like the watch's size and whether or not it's comfortable to wear.

OEM. I purchased the watch on the bracelet and ordered the OEM strap and deployant at the same time. Much prefer it on the strap but unfortunately Tudor no longer offers purchasing this watch on a leather strap. Only the bracelet and fabric. That being said, you might still be able to purchase it separately.

I think it will look better if you tighten the bracelet, even now it still looks good.
