Buy what you like and wear what you like. You seem very fond to the watch which makes it an emotional purchase where success is measured in your heart and soul, not a technical purchase where success is measured in MMs

Takuya, it does look a bit too big for you..

But if you like it, and it sits comfortable, I don't see why not..Get a very thick strap to make your wrist look a little bigger. Get the MP olterra! That's what I put on my 422 :)

Thank you Glenn :)

In all honesty, i've never had ONE person, WIS or not say ever a watch was too big...

I think buy what you like, as long as you stay from the range of 39mm to 47 you are safe LOL.. At least for me!

I always find it a bit strange when folks ask others options that have no idea who you are, your style or vibe.

Answers are always going to be on the conservative side…because most folks are conservative IMO.

Wear what you like with some mojo...you’ll be good.

...so here's what I meant; when any oversized watch sits between your hand and a rolled shirt it looks more proportionate...

It's supposed to be a big watch, that's kinda the point. I get more positive comments on this watch from people than every other watch I own combined, so it can't look too bad on me, I guess. That said, I'm not down with lug overhang personally, but if you like it, then rock it.

This photo is fantastic! I love the how the filter, or HDR, or whatever makes the dial look nicely textured.

My new 372

Today on the way to work in NYC. The snow from earlier this week has melted, and finally some moderate weather ahead.

I'm in love with this watch...

Thanks, was a mild filter setting, however that's how the dial really is

True. Like the 372 owners here, I don't have a 372 but a 422 which have exactly same case and get lots of compliments on it. People like its size because the big case does make it very noticeable and masculine. The 422 is the watch I get more compliments on compared to all my other watches.

Takuya, if you have a small wrist and big watch it does make the watch very noticeable, note I said noticeable..People might still think its good or bad on you..

My wrists are just not that big.
I think it is OK though.

Thanks everyone. i've been searching around to see more pics of 372 on those who have small wrist like me:

http://www.philippinewatchclub.org/f...3616&start=160

http://www.network54.com/Forum/35339...ion+(pamhunter)

And just stopped at my friend house to get the watch and took a quick pic in the dark room via my wife phone, and i was totally surprised the way it came out with the old vintage look (which i like it a lot). but still not sure that it's the right size for me tho. but it's such a beautiful vintage looking watch:



@Rich: very nice shot. i think if i decide to keep it, i'd like to wear it with my Paul Harnden jacket for this fall and winter:

I had to look Paul Harnden up, you are cutting edge buddy! That is a sweet jacket! Would love to go through your closet.

Hi Rich, my hat off for Paul Harnden for sure (Paul Harnden shoemarkers). Not only about his stuff, also about his works and his life as well:


http://www.jponfashionspeed.com/2011...n-i-heart.html

http://agnautacouture.com/2012/02/05...en-shoemakers/

He and his wife also are the models for their clothes and shoes and they live somewhere in the british countryside. and like a few others (m.a+ maurizio amadei, maurizio atelier from Carpe Diem or Carol christian Poell, etc...) are not showing their collection on the catwalk, neither on easily available lookbooks.
