Well I have worn my LE Number 14/15 for a few days and once again the feeling that it is too big for me has hit :cry:

So the question is "Should I keep it or sell it"? I know it has MDW153 on the back along with the other details but it does not look out of place to be honest. All I know is that once this feeling is here it is only a matter of time before I flip :cry:

Not going to vote, because it has to be your decision, but I will say......

I don't think that it looks too big. I know that what I think doesn't matter - it's how you feel, but wanted to get on record as saying that I think it looks good. I don't think that you could carry off a CM49, and maybe even a thicker 47mm would look too big, but I think that works extremely well.

It didn't help when I got up this morning and My Wife had hung it on the wall :lol: She had actualy taken down our hall clock and hung this in it's place :oops:

Well I thought the Rolex you perceived as too big and subsequently sold looked fine. I told you that, along with a bunch of other guys as well. I think this one looks fine also. I don't think it looks to big. But, I know what you are going to do once your "gut instinct" kicks in so in this case I'm going to go along with you in order for you to feel justified when you eventually sell it. So yes, I absolutely agree with you Taffy it looks too big for your little girly-man wrists. Sell it! :wink: :)

I feel that my 47mm Steinhart LE is too big for my wrist, but I wore it on my my two-day casino roadtrip and I will still definately keep it, mostly because its the first LE watch originating from this Forum :) I love the idea of big watches, and they are fun, but in the end 40-44mm is my ideal range. I am keeping this one because it is cool and special to me.

if the watch is big on that wrist then it must look gargantuan(?) on mine. i wear it on the 2nd to last hole loosely and i could probably squeeze into the last hole.

When I wear mine I comfortably fit into the last hole but wouldn't go any tighter.

I voted keep but it's obviously entirely your decision. I'll be keeping mine as I like the watch, it's the forums 1st LE and I think the size will will grow on me. I'm also looking forward to the Mark II having said all that.

Good luck Taffy. I'm sure it's not an easy decision.
