How do you think this looks? 422
I dropped by an AD yesterday and tried the 422 on. As I just posted in Ravager's thread, I am pretty much between this and a 510, which I haven't seen in person yet.

I was prepared to find the 422 too big at 47mm, bu it didn't wear as huge as I thought it would.

What do you think? I already know Mike's opinion

A 422 should look a little big. I think it looks fine.

Interesting, that hadn't occurred to me. Thanks for the tip.

I tried on a 372 yesterday and, like you, I have small wrists (6.5"). It looked big, but it looked good. But when I say good, i mean good with t-shirt and jeans, not with a suit, or any dressy clothes for that matter. If you're looking to wear it as a casual/weekend watch, I think it looks awesome!

I wouldn't feel comfortable pulling that off. It's all about how you feel about it though.

3rd pic is the best representation of how others will see it out of the photos you took and it looks absolutely fine in that pic.

Wrist shots almost always make the watch look bigger.

I know it's supposed to be 47mm for historical accuracy, but, well, it's 47mm.......

It looks great on your wrist. If you are confident wearing it, then you will be fine. Get ready for a lot of stares and compliments.
