Thanks

No photo I'm afraid,

Tried one on in an AD last month, i have just over 7.5 wrist. Needless to say as beautiful as the watch is, I just can't pull it off. It's less pronounced with long sleeves but in short sleeves it looked a bit silly!

Beauty is, however, in the eye of the beholder!

Regards
CR

Wrist shots can only indicate so much, yours will wear differently according to your wrist dimensions (width, thickness), arm, and overall body size. I'm a fairly skinny person (6 foot 180lbs) with a 7.5 inch and I feel i can pull off the navi world (well at least i think i can and really thats all that matters lol)
