Hey everyone! I was able to find an AD 2 hours away but made the trip!! I wanted to know if you all think this watch is too big? This will be my first watch purchase and wanted some advice.
Thank you.


And no The gold bracelet will be on another wrist. LOL

Right on the limits, a smaller case size would be better IMO.

It must be you who decides the answer to this question though, not others.

It will work for sure. A slightly smaller size might be better, but that will work

thanks. The smaller one is 39mm, but after wearing this one I feel that might be a bit too small.

I initially thought 39 might be the best, but upon wearing this, the 39 might be a bit too small for my taste. I just didn’t want an overly large watch you see most rappers wearing hahah

I think then you’ve made the decision!

Looks good.

39mm is too small. That's 2mm smaller than a Rolex Sub which is considered a small watch.

guess your right!
I’m just ocd about my decisions, I’ll think “what if I change my mind, or that one is better” 😂

Oh really? And after checking, although it’s a 42mm it’s lug to lug is the same as a 40mm Tissot I tried on, which fit perfect!

It looks a little big but if you had not asked I would probably not have registered it. Do you usually wear it with the crown facing your elbow? Picture to fuzzy for me to make out the watch brand.

I feel like taking it up close distorts the true look, tasking it from a far seems the best look .
Haha, It might be on backwards , but the brand is maurice lacroix

It looks a bit on the large side, but not ostentatious. If you like it, go for it!

Appreciate it!
when I held the 40mm watch I didn't feel right about the size, so the 39mm would have been a mistake to purchase.

Too big.

But all your pics are from up close. I went through a similar debate recently, & F2 talked me out of downsizing (actually upsized). From here this looks as much too big on me:

This is the exact same watch case. Not only the same size, but identical cases on the same wrist, this one just on bracelet & from further away (& more hand and body)

The bracelet helps you. And even just as far away as you are in the first pic, once framed with your body, I think it already looks great. I've since let go of the ratios, dial diameter to flat of wrist width or wrist circumference to case size. Has to match your hands and body too.

I think no way it's not too big. But I barely even believe at all there is such a thing as too big or too small. Depends on what the individual likes and wants.
I wear a 36mm now and at first it seemed small to me because I used to wear like 40mm. I think it's actually easier for a watch to be too small than too big. Only real problem with too big is bashing it into stuff in my opinion.

Too Big for me

Too small for me

It's a personal choice and it looks like you prefer them bigger.

I wouldve gone for the 39mm myself.

Thanks, really appreciate you posting these pics, as it puts it into perspective about about only considering wrist size and watch size.
I think because of my 6ft 2 stature the 42mm was the better choice over the 39mm. I was over analyzing watch measurements getting the mm100% right, that I forgot about overall frame of a person.

Thanks! What style of watches do you mostly like to wear?

36-40mm seems to be the sweet spot. Though this watch seems to have a L2L of a 40mm watch.
