Looks good on a big wrist. I’ll stick with my 40mm Mark 18.

Nice! It is still on my radar. The black dial with leather strap and add a rubber strap

My feelings on the history of this watch aside (see my other thread, no need to rehash here), I tried it on and was surprised how much I liked the way it looked at 43mm. I think it's further proof of what I've come to believe: Watches work best in the size they were designed to be.
My Mk XVI, at 39mm, feels too large, with too much dial, likely because it came from a stretching of the Mk XV (itself somewhat of an expanded Mk XII). Still too big for my taste, but worked on my wrist surprisingly well given my recent penchant for downsizing (40mm Rolex down to a 36). |

I'm anxious to try this one on in person to see how the size works on my smallish 6.7" wrist. The 46mm Big Pilot is way too big and I don't like the date on the Mark XVIII and I like the lack of a date, the crown, and the display caseback on this new model, so it might be the one for me if it fits. I wish they had gone with blued hands but I can live with the silver ones.

Tried it on the other day, at the same time as the BP 46. My wrist size is 7".
Loved the fit of the 43! It looked great on the wrist. I could pull off the 46 as well but the 46 was very "visible" and "noticeable" on wrist. It has the potential to attract the wrong kind of attention in most big cities. 43 was more comfortable on the wrist and can slip under a cuff. AD took 11% off list price without asking btw. |

Watch looks great…just not sure about the pricing. Is it really as nice as a Santos?

Tried this on. Really like the fit for someone who thinks the 46 is to large but loves the design
