Doesn't look too big on that photo

I've got the same size wrist. I've got the King size chrono and I believe that is smaller than the XXL.  The King size doesn't look big on my wrist but it feels big.

Vintage XXL - is the case too big?

Friends, Earlier this year, Nicolas posted a review about the Vintage XXL, Blue. Most or all of us, me included said the case is too big... Since then I had a chance to have a second look at this watch... Tomorrow I will post a "Second look" on this watch...  

Visually yes but from the comfort point of view no.

Thanks to the curved case, it is a very comfortable watch on the wrist. But visually, I found it a bit too large: we don't have to forget that a non-round watch always looks bigger than a round watch. Moreover, the Vintage XXL has a powerful design like t... 

Thank you for your fast reply, Fx!

I will give you my view on this watch tomorrow... Best Blomman

Geenrally, yes. But I saw it with one dial which looked very good.

As for the Blue, I would say that I would have preferred it in the smaller case... Best, Nicolas.

Which one? :) [nt]

It appears bigger than I thought,

but still sits nicely on your wrist. But judging from your wrist shot, now I'm pretty sure that this beautiful watch will not fit my small wrist.

I have a 17-17,5 cm wrist...

You can see better in my full report. Best Blomman

My wrist is only 16~16.5 cm.

Your 17~17.5cm is already a dream size for me. Enjoy your great wrist time with that beautiful watch.

I did! :)

I like big watches..

Not too big for me. The dial color is beautiful and the case itself is superb. If you look this watch at one's wrist, you will automatically know that it is a GP. As for vintage enthusiasts, they don't except any change easily in the size as what happened... 

Yes, the case is exceptional! :)

Thank you for your input, WTA! That is good to hear. Last time we had a look at this one, everybody seemed to think of the watch as too big. More photos in the main post: Best, my friend Blomman

I don't think so...
