Not saying you're lying or something silly, there just appears to be a definitive difference in the appearance and fit. Did you perhaps lose a ton of weight between these two pictures?

when looking/taking photo of watch on the wrist, the ulna and radius are crossed over, making that part of the wrist appear smaller.
vs.
the photo of the wrist in the mirror, the ulna and radius are perfectly parallel, and the watch is now sitting on the flattest/widest position of the wrist/forearm... thus giving the appearance of smaller watch...or more correctly, a wider surface of the wrist.
and this will be more apparent if u usually wear ur watch higher toward the elbow. when u wear it very close to the wrist (at bend like in Fred's last photo) then there's less change in surface area of that part of the wrist cuz it's further away from where the ulna+radius cross.
wow... finally kinesiology in horology!
