Since I'm kind of embarrassed to walk into an AD at this time... I was wondering if you guys could post some wrist shots and include the size of your wrist, in inches. That would help me out a lot cause I wanna know what a suitable size watch would be for me, I have a 6.5-7 inch wrist. Thanks.

thanks!!! Wow, so in reality, I can actually go for a bigger watch than I had originally thought. Glad I asked for the wrist shots. Thanks again!

These wrist shots help out a lot but I guess it's still what you feel comfortable with as far as size. Whatever makes you happy, right?

Correct, although I actually only currently own 6 of the 13 pieces that I posted here.

It's quite shocking actually when I look at the turnover of watches over the years. Bear in mind these ones here are the ones I've had since I've been a member of this forum (2 years 3 months), but I've been into watches for around 12 years! :shock: Wish I'd taken pics right from the outset of this crazy hobby!

This is how a Chrono Evo (43.7mm diameter and 17.1mm thickness) looks on my 6.5-7 inch wrist.

Hope it helps,

Super Avenger on a 6.5" wrist. The watch totally overwhelms my wrist, but I still love it.
