Can my wrist pull a 44mm?

[APAP]

Found a great deal for the 44mm ROO FC (BNIB for $26.5K). I've always liked the FC and wanted a black watch so i might be pulling the trigger. The only issue is that I have a small wrist. Attaching a few photos of my Panda 42mm.

I don't have the chance to try the 44mm so what you all think by looking at the 42mm? What do you think of the price too?

You don't want it to look too massive.

I think the 42 is a good look for you. More might be too much.

This might help.

42 looks great on you.

Yeah, the 42 mm looks perfect. The 44 mm wears much larger and might look disproportionate.

I think the pics are too close up to really tell.

How big is your wrist ? The photos are too close to properly judge.

I think 44 would be too big. May want to consider an FC Diver which would be 42 like your panda.

Yes they're too close

Would be good to know the size, but even if the pics are too close up, it seems to me that 44mm would be too big for you, my wrist is 6.75 and there is no way I could pull off a 44mm, even if my wrist is flat which in theory permits you to wear bigger watches than if you have a round wrist...

Is it me or are the bezel screws not evenly sunken in the panda?

Nice watch, I think you can pull off a 44mm though myself. Especially if you're getting a black piece it may not wear as large visually.

42 is your destiny young skywalker.......

44 is a massive piece, and unless you crave that out of proportion look 42 is still very large.

IMO a better metric is to look at yourself in the mirror from afar.

42mm stainless steel is going to wear bigger than say a 42mm dark forged carbon piece

FC looks smaller than steel or gold on the wrist
You'll have to try it on to adequately assess if it's too big

[eonflux]

Close up shots make watches look too big

42 looks good but I doubt the 44 will look at home on your wrist.

[Urosfan]

It looks fine on your wrist

My wrist is 6.6 and I can pull off a 44mm luminor marina, but AP seems to be a lot bigger

That one looks too big, to me. If it's 42mm, I'd say go 40mm.

I think it looks too big.

Looks ok

[APAP]

Wow, such a lovely community. Thanks all for your inputs so far.

Sorry for the delay (and for the orientation of the photos). Hope these are at an adequate distance

That's a much better perspective.

You could get away with it. Tthe 42 looks to be a great "fit" for your wrist. However, FC wears smaller then the steel or RG versions. It is also a much lighter piece, so I don't think you will be overwhelmed with it.

Bottom line is the FC is a great, comfortable piece and given your wrist size I would still pull the trigger. Good luck and let us know !

So I finally managed to try. What do you all think?

[Watchurself]

I actually think the 44mm looks pretty good on your wrist. I initially thought it would be too big after seeing the panda, but the larger model does a better job of hugging onto your wrist.

[singe89]

Size looks good to me! Love FC...I've worn mine almost daily for 2 years and it still looks new.

[Cru Jones]

while 42 looks good, any bigger depends on your style.

Looks awesome!
Go for it.

[masterserg]

Easily. It looks better than the 42 IMHO.

[edo]

Yes... based on that pics 44 fits better than 42... I don't know it's because of black color or rubber fits better but go for it :)

[APAP]

Well, just plunked down $27K with the short strap (the latter is yet to arrive in 2 weeks) and bought it. You guys killed me! The watch is a bit too loose now but I don't mind it! High-res pics will be posted tonight!
