So, here is the 43mm Transocean Chronograph on my 165mm wrist. A little larger than I prefer, but it actually looks larger in photographs than in person. On the wrist, it doesn't look too big at all and has a very nice presence. The lugs are a little long, but the curve of the lugs follows the curve of the mesh bracelet, so that sort of minimizes their length. Would I prefer that it was 41mm, or 42mm? Probably. But it's a compromise I'm willing to make for the movement and aesthetics of the watch. Also, spot-on accuracy, within 1 s/d on the wrist. Definitely a keeper.
