Just about as big as you can go IMO, and very big for a dressy watch.

Ultimately your choice, how did it feel to you? As you’re asking probably too big?

 

I’m going to jog my memory next week, but I do prefer slightly smaller watches in general. Thanks!

 

I think it’s around 47mm lug to lug so definitely wears large for a 39mm case.

Lug to lug is 45mm according to WatchBox.

Bit large for your wrist, but not outrageously large. Hell of a watch, but maybe look at a plain Saxonia thin? They are what, 37mm… can’t recall exactly.

Okay now let’s talk about modern Rolex 😉

I kid! But I have a Saxonia! At 37mm it’s a favorite watch of mine.

My wrist is slightly smaller than yours. If I made decisions based upon whether others said watches looked too big on me, I'd be limited to wearing 36mm watches. I think that's the choice you're facing here. This is 36mm (though it's the lug-to-lug distance that really matters):

Agreed strongly. I have a Speedy at 42 (or 40, I suppose) and 47. My Saxonia sits at 37 and 43mm L2L. I think this will be fine. I honestly hope it is - I love the U/D design and prefer the modern red power reserve highlight to the 1st gen piece’s looks.

Borderline. I'd go with something slightly smaller at least but this is all about you.

 

Thanks. Apropos of nothing, love your collection!

 

I have to agree it wears big on your wrist, Im sorry!
But I am not paying for it or wearing it so you need to decide how you really feel about it.
Beautiful watch though!

 

The 1815 Up/Down is my favorite watch that I do NOT own.

have tried it on many times. My wrist is larger than yours.

I think you’d find the 36mm would fit you a lot better. The 39 looks large on you..imo..could you wear it? sure

i just think the smaller version would fit better.

 

The size looks good but on large side of ok. The 1815 dial is beautiful. The way the light strikes it is brilliant. With the railroad and the Arabic numerals it can be worn in many situations and even daily and casually.

 

It's completely fine. If you like it, buy it. If we had an arm/pocket shot then we could tell how it sits relative to your proportions, but I still think it's totally fine.

 

Looks a bit big on your wrist. Especially for a dress watch.

 

Please have someone else take the photo or use a room mirror. From 7"away, most watches look too large BUT only the wearer sees that view.

Way too big for a dress watch in my opinion but in the end what's important is what you feel about it... lovely watch by the way.

 

I have the same issues as you. My wrist is 6.25-6.3in, and the absolute max my wrist can handle is about 39mm diameter and 46mm lug-to-lug. Every time I try a watch with 47mm or more, it feels too long (the red Seiko Presage 'Sharp Edge', the 39mm Tudor Pelagos, and the Longines Sector remain bitter disappointments, I love all of those watches)

Such a shame, as 47mm is such a common lug-to-lug length for some stupid reason. That's why I went for the 39mm Montblanc Star Legacy (46mm lug-to-lug), over other potential dress watches

 

looks a touch big IMO, especially for a dress watch, but i think it's on the border

 

It's slightly on the bigger side, but if you like it, that is all that matters, IMHO.

 

if you like it, that is all that matters, IMHO.

This is me as well lol. 6" wrist with the watch that brings me the most joy.

 

In my professional opinion I think it would look better on my wrist. Usps is the preferred shipper, thanks.

 

Is that a scratch between 1&2 or stickers?
But yes agree, a bit big. Funny enough at 7” I just bought this watch and sent it back as I thought it was a touch too small on mine with the two sub dials.
