If it was MY wrist then I'd think it was too big. But it's not my wrist......., it's YOUR wrist, and if you are happy with it then that's all that counts. Sod what anyone else thinks. :thumbsup:

Big watches don't look good unless they fit. None that you've shown on your wrist fit that bill. If you don't wear pants and shirts two sizes too large, why a watch? It's the same thing.

As Driver8 said, your wrist is small :lol:
Even with the superocean heritage looks small, but if you like the watch... what's the problem?

From the looks of it, anything over 40mm is pushing it.

My rule for stuff I own is that is the lugs go over the edges of my wrist, it's too big.

It's only a no if you yourself believe it's too big. If you think it's fine, then it's fine. (But to be honest, the fact you are asking says to me that you obviously have a few reservations about it yourself).

ya tbh i have doubts... the seller told me this is just nice for my wrist since the lugs are curved ,makeing the lugs less obvious.

perhaps this is a selling tatic? :poke:

which is the reason why i need opinions on the board here. so far it seems majority goes for it being too big

38mm is a no for me, its way too small
