Hey Guys.

I tried on the SOSteelfish and it was really nice. I have come to the conclusion that the superocean face is a bit busy, and the new superocean, i just dont like the 15 being cut off. But, I love the look of the steelfish. I like the red accent on the automatic, and how the face is not too busy.

The problem is that my wrist is ~6.0 inches.

Do you think that the steelfish will be too big?

Thats for you to decide. I say if the lugs dont hang over the edges of your wrist, your good to go (actually, most of us say that :D )

Agreed on both counts.

I can't imagine it will be too big. My wrist is about 6.5 inches and the Steelfish fits like a glove, for a while I thought it would actually be too small for my tastes.

RJ is right, if the lugs hang out past the edge of your wrist then it's too big. If the watch fills your wrist, that's fine. You'll know it when its too big, I tried on a watch the other day (Shaq edition AP) which made me realise what that meant.

Are you gonna ask this question on EVERY watch forum? Just make up your mind and go with it!!! Don't worry so much what OTHERS think and focus on what YOU like. I'm not trying to be harsh, but it gets to the point where too many opinions clutter your own thoughts. Like RJRJRJ said, if it ain't overhanging on the wrist it'll be ok. Heck, it'll probably look great. I take that back. I KNOW it'll look great!

The Steelfish is such a terrific watch, I think you should
buy it, no matter what size your wrist. If you find that it
is a little big, please consider this sage advice:
start stuffing yourself every day with, say, a half dozen
donuts, cheeseburgers, fries, cake, ice cream, pizza...you
get the idea. I guarantee that within a month that Fish will
not be too big for your wrist! :) Believe me, I speak from
experience. :(
