That 372 on a distressed leather strap looks awesome on you, Nick.

OP, no wrong answer. The 422 looks great and most people wouldn't tell the difference between that and a 372 at ten yards anyway. If it sings and money isn't an issue, do it

I agree, if it sings buy it. IMO I think it looks to big. (I have 8" wrists and think it looks "ok"/big on me)

I would take advantage of smaller wrists and buy all of the watches that are around 43mm. They have way more to choose from lol

That was kind of my fear. My wrist is about 7 inches. Some of my other pieces:

Don't do it, it's just too big for your wrists.

I've been there with the 47mm also, as much as I thought it looked fine on my wrist it was really like wearing clown shoes. Except I didn't think they were clown shoes as to me they were just shoes!!!

You have an amazing collection, you can pull off the 422. Lately I've been eyeing the same model, I love the sub second hand on it. Did you say you have owned the 372 in the past?

Thanks. Yes, owned a 372 in the past. I know it's the Risti darling, but I didn't care for it. Too much empty space on the dial for my liking.
