ALS White Gold Odysseus too big for small wrist?

Hi guys,

Hope you are doing well. I'm considering the WG odysseus but have a feeling that it would be too big for my child size wrist which is currently 15.5cm or 6.1 inches.

The max lug to lug i could do is 48mm before it starts looking too big for my wrist. For those who own the watch, is the lug to lug around 48mm or bigger?

Thanks,

R

I’ve had it on my wrist; 6.25 inches. It just about works for me, maybe even a little on the big side.

Looks amazing on you! OP, I’d go fir it and rock it hard. It’s about attitude. It’s not like you are buying a DSSD or IWC big pilot.

My wife’s wrist is smaller than yours and she wears a 16600 Sean dweller.

Thanks mate - that SD looks great on her. Will see if I can try it on in the metal before making final judgement.

cheers,

Here's another reference point. My wrist is 6"/154mm circumference. It's 2" across the top and bottom, and 1" down each side.

My wrist is 6.75 inch, a bit curved - tried Odysseus on and just a tad too big due to the lugs. Was a pity.
