[QUOTE=csong825;12559421]Just picked this up in a trade. Very impressed with the fit and finish. I’m still not sure if the watch is too big for my 16 cm wrist. It feels like it fits well but it looks big because of the minimalist bezel and dial. I have the option of trading this in for the 36 mm version but there are no ADs near me so I can’t try it on. I get the sense that the 36 mm may look better on me and I like the no date but prefer the movement, dial color, and thinness of the 40 mm. Would appreciate anyone’s input, especially if you’ve had the chance to try both.





Close up pics always distort the look of the watch on your wrist. I think, as the second pic shows, the 40 suits you and fits perfectly. You have no lug overhang and can easily see bracelet on both sides.

I’d keep the 40mm if I was you.

Beautiful pick up- congratulations

Thank you! Appreciate the reassurance. I’ve decided to keep the 40 mm. Now time to finally enjoy the watch!

If anyone is on the fence about this watch or thinks it’s too boring, I strongly encourage you to just try it on. The fit and feel of the watch on the wrist is just unmatched.

I think you made the right call. I don't think the watch looks too big on you in the slightest. I wear the same piece on my only slightly larger 16.5cm wrist, and for me it's just perfect, especially with the low profile and how it just seems to melt across the wrist. It really is a special piece.
