Too Big for a 7 In Wrist?

Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think? The Tudor GMT has a 50 mm lug-to-lug on a 7 inch wrist. I occasionally get glimpses of it on my wrist and it looks too big. It is 2 mm lug-to-lug larger than my GMT II and never had that "too large" sense with my BLNR.

I think it looks ok… and you may tighten up the bracelet, a bit… nice watch, though…

Thanks! That may be part of the issue - the bracelet is as small as is tolerable! It is an aftermarket jubilee band. May have to give the OEM bracelet a run and see if I have the same sense.

Not too big, just too loose. I’ve got a 6.75” wrist and bought a Deepsea today. Your watch fits just fine.

I think it works but I can also sympathize with your take, once I have this thought the watch grows on me daily and it has to go

Also note that a white dial wears bigger than a black dial on the same model.

Usually it’s the opposite

This is incorrect: the white Exp II looks bigger than the black Exp II, a white vehicle looks bigger than its black equivalent and a little black dress is an icon for a reason.

Google the Irradiation Illusion.

Might be an optical illusion with the pic. I have both the Opaline and black dial GMT's, have a 7.25 in wrist and when I look at the pics I took they look very large on my wrist, similar to yours. However, in person they just don't look that big and seem perfectly fine on my wrist.

Note - agree with others to tighten the bracelet. My jubilee is an US and I just love it over the standard Tudor bracelet.

OEM. I purchased the watch on the bracelet and ordered the OEM strap and deployant at the same time. Much prefer it on the strap but unfortunately Tudor no longer offers purchasing this watch on a leather strap. Only the bracelet and fabric. That being said, you might still be able to purchase it separately.

May I suggest moving it up your wrist a bit, and tightening the bracelet. If you do those two things, it will wear, and look better.

Excellent advice! I was going to suggest the same, but you beat me to it! Different time zones...!

You can pull it off wearing it up on the wrist. Take a picture in a full length mirror from 3-4 feet away.

A little too loose and I'd try wearing it slightly higher up on your wrist. Not too big though.

Adjust the aftermarket bracelet and all will be well. I have my Tudor GMT on an Uncle Seiko Jubilee but with the Tudor clasp. In this config it is perfection.
