Too big on my wrist? Your opinion please

Hi Folks

Picked up my first “trial” dress watch. The Orient Bambino small seconds.

Seems this is too big on my wrist, I have a 7.25” wrist and was hoping I could carry it off. Let me know your views.

It's big, and I'd feel like the watch was wearing me (but I also have a narrow wrist). That said, the lugs don't overhang. If it's comfortable and you feel confident wearing it, then I'd say it's just right. My opinion: you pull-it-off well.

The watch is not too big on our wrist. But I think its too big to wear as a "dress" watch. But for everyday wear, it looks fine.

Looks perfect to me - as long as it feels comfortable to you then just enjoy.

Looks good, not too big for an everyday wearer.

Looks good. I do have some watches like that and looks big if you take close up. Go into a mirror and look from far. I bet it'll look fine on your wrist!

Many thanks! Was looking for some validation, typically the 36mm wears small on my wrist and this is a 40.5mm (without the crown).

Looks good. I own that one and I think it’s big on my 6.5 inch wrist. But your wrist is considerably bigger. I will post a pic of mine. 38 might be your sweet spot for a dress watch.

It looks fine bud. But as mentioned above, wears large for a ‘dress’ watch but fine for an everyday wearer. My wrist is 7” and my everyday watch is 38mm and my dress watch is 37mm.

As others have said, she looks fine.

If you feel it is, it is.

If you don't feel it is, it isn't.

Looks good to me.
You could do well with a slightly smaller watch also, because the bezel is so thin on this style they wear a bit larger.

Enjoy it, it looks great in those picks. I do enjoy my Patek Calatrava, but I could’ve had 100 Orients and quite a bit of change. Keep that in mind.

It looks pretty big for a dressy watch.
