Just traded my chronomat 44 for this baby. It is the 47mm and wanted to see what u guys think....is it to big for my wrist or is it ok??

Thx in advance guys

rangercadre · 4 March 2015, 12:27 PM

a little too big imo. but heck it, so long as you love it don't bother about what others think. watches are personal.

c41006 · 4 March 2015, 12:29 PM

That's a big watch! Personally I think its a bit too big but if you like it that's all that matters.

Gregg236 · 4 March 2015, 12:30 PM

Stunning. I'll take it if you decide it's too big!

Ca$hOnly · 4 March 2015, 03:05 PM

Judging by the size of your wrist, I would say the watch it too big. But if you like it that's all that matters!

Andad · 4 March 2015, 03:15 PM

I would find that size comparatively difficult to wear all day every day.

Nice watch.

RolexRon456 · 4 March 2015, 04:38 PM

Big is in, it's like rims on a car, the bigger, the better

HogwldFLTR · 4 March 2015, 07:26 PM

More important than what others think is how it feels on your wrist. I've noticed also that it is hard to get a photo that truly shows a watch in proportion to the wrist. I agree with others in that it is a lovely watch.

1William · 4 March 2015, 09:41 PM

Yes.

wolffram · 4 March 2015, 09:44 PM

There is a wrist under that watch somewhere, right?

MonBK · 4 March 2015, 09:45 PM

AK797 · 5 March 2015, 05:39 AM

Its probably too big, need a more distant wrist shot to be sure, do the lugs go over the edge of your wrist? If so then its a bit big but then Lings are suppose to be so your call.

GolfPunk · 5 March 2015, 06:14 PM

Sorry but it's too big. Why didn't you get the 44mmGMT?

Roost5o · 5 March 2015, 11:49 PM

Dude that looks like it should be hanging around Flava Flav's neck !

Seriously it does look a little too big for your wrist.

I agree with Geert

I really like that watch, forget what this Neil guy says!

Kapalua1 · 7 March 2015, 12:21 PM

Its a sweet watch regardless..

Psmith · 13 March 2015, 10:21 AM

If you love it, then rock it!

rtalwar · 13 March 2015, 12:03 PM

Thanks guys for all the responses....at first I thought it was too big but the more I wear it the more I'm loving it....this one is a keeper.

I may look crazy wearing such a "big" watch but I will try my best to rock that piece...lol

TinyCyclops · 13 March 2015, 12:55 PM

Maybe a little big but the watch is a doozy

HERITAGE82 · 14 March 2015, 05:23 AM

Yes, too big

rockmastermike · 14 March 2015, 06:04 AM

1) that's a damn good looking watch

2) As others have said, if you like it, then rock it! for me the lug-to-lug hanging that much over my wrist would bother me.

tonyy · 17 April 2015, 12:23 PM

Looks big but that's the style. The oversized look seems to work well. All that matters is if you like it :)

BNA/LION · 17 April 2015, 12:48 PM

A little big... but if you like the way it feels that is what really matters.

DHISTORY · 17 April 2015, 01:01 PM

The only beef I have with big watches that look beautiful while wearing a short sleeved shirt or sweater is that it becomes extremely difficult to wear comfortably with a work shirt and suit without wrinkling it....such as a 44mm luminor Panerai I tried on.

To go along with the shirt issue, they also do not allow good freedom of movement. Excessively heavy or large watches jam into the top of my hand and I cannot stand that.

I have a small wrist and like my watches big. Yours looks great!
