I've lost my mind... Incoming
The mailman dropped this off for me this morning:
  And what do we have inside?  After much back and forth on the 44mm... Finally I've pulled the trigger on one. This was a true impulse purchase - I was offered it at a price I truly could not say no to. It's really big:  But from these angles it's not as overwhelming (again maybe I'm deluding myself:)    Next order of business is to order a XS strap! |

Beautiful my friend! Looks great... I think it fits nicely. What’s your wrist size?
Congrats! |

Congrats mate, while you are getting the black xs pick up the white as it’s suits the watch really well

Congrats, that looks amazing! I too am curious about your wrist size and your impressions once you get the XS strap.

Thanks y'all. Please feel free to tell me I'm a complete goofball and that it looks ugly on my wrist... No offense will be taken!
And it sure makes one heck of an anklet, but I would need an XL strap.

If honest I think its a bit big for you, but it maybe the pics. If you're happy that's all that counts.

Congrats, Tom, I think you can get away with it in real life as in some of those pics it doesn't look too bad. Take a mirror shot if you can to confirm.

it does look *a little* big for you, but it's supposed to be an 'oversized' sports watch so...
anyway, there's an instagram account of someone who also has thin wrists and wears a novelty rosegold: https://www.instagram.com/horolojizz/ so i suppose it can work |

Well, the point of this thread is pretty much to say I've lost my mind. 4th incoming in the last 3 months, and this one is just ridiculous.
XS strap arrives tomorrow morning and I can't wait! Ordered it this morning and it was with FedEx by 2pm - again two thumbs up for the Canadian APSC! If this mad little experiment works out... I expect a swap for the CE or RG very soon...

Honestly I think its way too big for your wrists. Its looks kind of weird.
How big are your wrists? Smaller than 6.75inches? |

Wow that a big watch. It does look big for you but sometimes pictures give that impression.
