Definitely a matter of taste. Too big for mine but entirely up to you.

Looks ok to me. It's a Bentley so it's meant to make a statement, but probably on the large side for me.

Only one rule for me, if the lugs overhang it is too big, anything else is a matter of choice. Looks to me from the photos as though the lugs overhang.

That would be pushing the limits for me but as long as you're happy, who cares.

I feel it looks pretty ok. That's the intention of the Bentley range. Big.

It looks big in the pictures, but if you love it go for it.

I think it looks great. I was in the same dilemma a few months back and can tell you first hand that the size will grow on you and will be very hard to take off your wrist..

Wear in great health and enjoy that beauty.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The pictures are a little deceiving. The lugs do not hang over my wrist. I usually wear 41mm watches but this one is 48.7mm. It's not too thick but definitely large. It actually makes me feel like 41mm is too small.

Not too big for your wrist, just about your maximum size.

Too big for a "daily" , but just the right size for a "statement" ...

In my eyes .

Big watches are cool , but I couldn't live with one fighting my shirtsleeve for 14 hours a day every day .
