Everything that they told you or will tell you is a selling tactic. I try not to listen to them when they try to convince me.
I have the superocean heritage 125th and my wrist is just a little bigger than yours. And I think it's big for me. But I have no problem wearing it. :wink:

Yeah it's a bit big, it looks like a kid is borrowing his dads watch. On the the bright side with those small joints there's not much chance of you growing into a fatass. So you got that going for you, which is nice.

I am with the majority on this one... It looks really big. If you want it though, get it!

Hi D. Unfortunately I think it just looks a bit to big on your wrist IMHO. That said, it all depends on your style if you dress casual and hip you might get away with it! If you dress formal wearing it I do not think you would get away with it! but as the guys said above its on your wrist not mine.

Either way good luck in your choice and ware whatever you buy in good health!

no worries, at least i know i didnt make a mistake buying it :cry:

What about the SOII? You try it? It's 42mm and a great looking watch....imo. I love mine. It's smaller than maybe you really want, but its chunky which makes it seem a little bigger and would likely fit your wrist nicely.

Alien said that SOH38 will be replaced with 41-42mm SOH.
Wait for few month and try it. SOH46 is way too big for you IMHO.

That's some pretty good news, I missed that. Sweet.

Oh, and I agree, it looks just a bit too big, but 46mm is pretty hard to pull off for a lot of people. Bigger isn't necessarily better. Give the SOII a shot like someone else said, it'll probably look great on you.

Too big from the pics you posted. As mentioned above, I'd wait for the 40-41 mm. I have to say though, there was a guy on the wus forum that posted a wrist shot of the 38mm, I think he had 6" to 6.5" wrists, and it looked really good on him.

There is something to be said for wearing what you like. But let's face it - there are some people running around out there who obviously like what they wear, who nevertheless look ridiculous. I'm sure Vanilla Ice thought he looked good. Need I say more?
