It is a bit big, IMO...but hard to say no to this one.

If it's comfortable, then still consider whether its size might work for you (e.g., too big for a dress watch, but it may work as a more casual watch).
That 1815 Chrono looks perfectly fine on your wrist..............

I don't know what size watch you typically wear but I rotate from as low as 37mm and as high as 45mm and when you move from the highest range to the lowest or vice versa it takes a little while to get used to the new size. I am wondering if that effect is happening to you here as that watch looks great on your wrist!
Having a 6.5 inch wrist myself (shown below) I have owned an original 1815 Chrono now for around 8 years and have never thought twice about a slight lug overhang. This watch has worn beautifully and comfortably during that time so much so that I happen to enjoy wearing it more than the Datograph. If you like this piece my suggestion is that you don't let its size relative to your wrist be the reason why you don't purchase that watch. (It's a beauty!)

Right now in my collection the biggest watch is a Jaquet Droz 39mm with almost 50mm lug to lug. Somehow I don’t find it too big despite the slight lug over hang!
I think the 1815 Chronograph shall wear quite similar to this.
I didn't know them came in 39mm's. I've owned 2 JD's previously both were 43 mm like the ones pictured below. If it means anything, they both wore much larger on me than than 1815 Chrono. With that being said I wish I still had the rose gold JD as I kind of miss that one! Tony
I have the same problem as you; my wrist is quite narrow...

The watch looks a bit big for your wrist but I think you can get away with it because it has a sporty look. You can also cheat by putting a slightly thicker strap (not too thick as it can affect the lugs and spring bars in the long term). Thicker strap hides the fact that the lugs slightly overhang. It is a beautiful watch and I think you should go for it.
is my favourite chronograph in the market. I do not usually like a black dial watch but on this Lange, it is perfect. I have tried this watch on too and yes it is just about the maximum size you can get away with in your small wrist. My main concern would be is the watch too heavy for you. I sold mine after less than a month as it felt fantastic in the shop but not so when being worn 10 hours a day. If you do not mind the weight (Lange watches tend to be heavier than say a Patek), then, you should definitely acquire one!!
I am not so sensitive about the weight. As a matter of fact I have been wearing my Platinum Lange 1 for a whole week now and do not feel the weight an issue. I feel that the 1815 Chronograph in white gold is around the same weight of my Lange 1. So that’s fine.
