What's your inner dialogue when you look at this (beautiful) watch on your wrist?

May 27, 2023,20:48 PM
 

If you say to yourself, "I think this is too big" then don't get it.

If you say to yourself, "I love this watch!" then get it.

I am very familiar with this question because my wrist circumference is 154mm/6". Most watches "look big" but I don't care. If I like the watch and if it fits comfortably, there's no such thing as "too big" for me.

Or too big? Hmmm ...

From your picture it looks like it overhangs your wrist in top and bottom. That is when I get to the point of being too big, however, it could be the picture or the angle. Overall just depends how it wears on your wrist to you!

I think it’s too big, but the things we do for love…

So if you can happily live with it, then rock on!

I love this watch, first of all, and I only noticed how good it looked.

It never crossed MY mind about its being too big for your wrist. I like big watches anyway, so If you really like this watch, it's a great choice for you.

So if you have to ask it is going to bother you …

Regardless as to what anyone here says, if you aren’t comfortable with how it looks/fits then you will probably be unhappy wearing the watch and always self conscious. I’ve had similar issues with watches and for me, I’ve always wound up selling a watch t... 

It's a little big.

But maybe you'll grow into it! Panerai are too big for me. But I always say, "in the case of a Panerai, it's not the size of your wrist, but the size of your personality."

You’re spot on

Maybe I have just weird wrists - much more appropriate in the mirror ...

While conventional wisdom may suggest it's too large due to the overhanging lugs....

I say don't be misled by conventional wisdom, because the 1815 looks great on your wrist!

Just magnificent! 👍

Too big

The lugs overhang your wrist. You can wear it anyway and nobody would care, but you should first try on some watches where the lugs turn down more with less lug-to-lug length for comparison and comfort. Also, when a watch is large it is not protected at a...

If you love it then.... by all means buy it. You GOT to buy what you love. My wrist is not quite 6 inches. and most watches look too big on me but I dont care. It's all about what speaks to you.

I suspect it looks big here because of how you took the photo?

Nonetheless how it looks in wristshots is not as important as how it feels on your wrist and whether you feel it’s too big.
