Just returned from Vacation yesterday and went straight to the Post Office to pick up my new watch that was shipped from AMJ. I went to my local AD to get the bracelet sized; they took two links out. The 44mm looks great and is the same size of the Oris TT1 Titan Date I wear on a daily basis. Watch is in the Winder now and I keep thinking if I should have gotten a SA instead. Will a 48mm SA look too big on my wrist?

I wouldn't go bigger than what you have on. Then again, I'm just not a huge fan of oversized. I can't wear anything bigger than a 44 myself.

Nice looking watch too, by the way.

I'd probably agree with the others in terms of size (and certainly if it was my wrist), but ultimately it's your call. A lot of guys are very happy to huge watches on moderately sized wrists...... but you have to be comfortable doing that.

If you want a wall clock on your wrist exchange it for an SA. Otherwise keep that beauty :lingsrock:

I personally wouldn't go with the SA instead. This looks absolutely perfect on your wrist! Great purchase and congrats!

That watch already looks almost too big for your wrist, so you made a good choice on not getting the SA. It's a beauty. Enjoy it!

Your wrist looks about the same as mine based on how similar the AS looks on us. I found after a while that I began to think even the AS was too big. It actually looks a little better proportioned on the calf strap.
