Does look a bit big to me mate

 

Looks fine to me. If you like it, forget what anyone else thinks.

 

Yes, it's too large. The RO wears massively for its measurements.
I have a 6.5" wrist and while I can wear 42mm and even up to 44mm in certain watches, anything larger than 39mm in AP (e.g., 15202) would look ridiculously oversized.
The 26315 would probably look perfect. It's already a complicated watch face and I find that one has to be extra careful about fit and proportion. A huge chronograph just looks cartoonish.

My 42mm steinharts wear smaller than my 44mm RBII- the APs wear big

 

Definitely looks (overly) large. The 38mm will probably be perfect for you - I’d definitely check it out!

I can only answer according to my own preferences, as well as everyone else. I'd never wear a watch that large on my wrist. Not even close, lug to lug is at least 5mm too long.

OP, have you considered the 38mm Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph?

 

Once again, it is a "Yes, it is too big on the wrist" from me.

 

I think it looks fine on you and I would personally keep and wear it proudly, judg69

 

I responded in the other thread, and voted the same in this one. I voted for no, because I think if you like it, it's not so big that I would consider it a deal breaker.

Slightly too big, and if this is like a once in a lifetime kind of purchase (it would be for me), maybe I'd look for a watch that fit a bit better. But there isn't much out there that can stand with a panda dial ROC, if this is the watch you have your heart set on, then I think it looks pretty good.

Many thanks. There is another option out there - 26315, which is 38mm in diameter. Some say it is too small like a lady watch. But on paper, 38mm fit a small wrist like mine. It is such as tough choice!

 

As usual, if you have to ask, you already know the answer--too big, way too big.

One thing you will find in threads such as these--there will ALWAYS be some responses that ALWAYS say anything/everything is OK--the "go for it!" camp--and there will ALWAYS be some responses that say the opposite--the "what were you thinking?" camp--in the end, both not very useful either way.

Ultimately, you have to decide for yourself, since, when you wear it, just about nobody else is going to care.

 

I agree with you. Fully understand your view. It is a USD27K watch so I kinda feel risky or stupid to buy a watch that does not fit? So I am struggling - perhaps I should go for 26315 which is 38mm.

 

Yes you should go for the 38mm.

I'd be extremely surprised if you tried it on and didn't feel like it belonged on your wrist. It will fit so much better.

Pay no mind to those who say 38mm is women sized (I do think there aren't many people left who actually believe this). It just isn't, and their opinion it irrelevant. Just like ours when we say this one is too big. But if you do try the 38mm, you'll see for yourself that size will fit you better and be much more comfortable.

 

I am sure that you will be happy with the 26315 especially once you get a chance to try it on.

Some will say "whatever you want is the right." And this is true in the sense that the final choice and satisfaction are yours to decide. But you already have misgivings. It is a feeling in your stomach that tells you something your eyes alone may not.

Some will say "it's too big." And it is also true because the judgment is made on an aesthetic basis as an assessment of proportion, fit, expression. Although these are considerations strongly influenced by taste, they are not defined solely by individual preference.

True, it is your choice and your wrist. But you will also wear it in front of people and although you may not care what they think of the watch, you will most certainly care how your watch makes you feel in front of people. It should elevate you. Like a custom tailored suit or a well-styled haircut. It should make one feel better about that which is the best within himself.

 

I saw people wear much bigger watches, you’re good))

 

I too have a small wrist and I generally avoid large watches (unless they are very cheap fun toys). This watch looks too large for you because of the square big lugs.

 

I think it is fine for you; it's on the cusp, but not quite too big

I have a 6.5 in wrist and wanted the panda dial as well but I passed because it felt too big. The integrated bracelet makes it flare out a bit past the lugs which made it feel bigger than 41mm.

Typically, the angle you're shooting at will make most watches look big. Get a mirror shot, or have someone else take a picture of you from a distance.

That being said, I think this one might just be too big.

 

Pretty beefy looking. As I remember, the ROC is also thick, which compounds the oversized look.

 

if you like it, you should go for it. Don’t let others tell you what you should buy and what you shouldn’t.

Yeah, the watch is far too big for you mate.

I know it is fashionable these days to have a big watch on the wrist but this one... it will simply look comical on your wrist.

This is the reason why some watch companies make their popular watches in a few sizes.

 

Would you with a 36" chest wear a 46" suit?
No - why? cos it doesnt fit
sorry mate - looks silly

 

You are right. I actually went to a forum with mostly asians there and noted that the people who wear 26331 has similar wrist size as mine (you are see the 2nd/3rd picture that I uploaded, their wrist size is similar to mine), some wrists are slightly smaller or larger but roughly in the 6.3-6.7 inch range. I thought the watch look big on their wrist as well but I was in doubt. Really glad that majority people here voted "too big" it make thing a lot easier for me to go for 38mm model - 26315.

 

Good choice. The 38mm is gonna be great. Congrats on a beautiful watch.

 

looks fine. Why do you have arm hair in one picture and none in the others?

 

Only the first picture is mine. The 2nd/3rd picture are from others that have similar wrist size to mine

 

To me it looks a little big, but hey thats the thing now. I have some that look big on my wrist. However, you should wear what you feel comfortable with.

 

This is a nicht, nicht.

 

interesting - but the first one shows more than the others the fit is way too big

 

the first picture is my wrist and the watch is not sized. The 2nd/3rd pictures are other people wrist with similar size to my wrist.
