People with big(ger) wrists have it all. At least that's how it is in the watch world, right? They can pick any watch they want and it will look good on them.
People with smaller wrists (mine is 6,7 inches/17 cm) can't wear everything. Or can they?
Right now, i'm eyeing two watches that are both big for watch standards. Omega Speedmaster Moonphase and Glashutte Original Seventies. I liked both of these watches a lot before seeing them live but dismissed them because of the size.
I didn't even try them on my wrist.
That changed later on, when AD pulled Omega out and i had to try it. Hm....it didn't overhang my wrist like i thought it would, it was comfortable to wear...and oh so gorgeous. AD said it looked great on me (but i can't take seller advice seriously). Wife loved it. I checked the mirror...big. Too big? I don't know any more.
Then i tried GO Seventies...again big watch yes...too big? Hell, look at this beauty, who cares about the size. It came alive on the wrist and just pops big time.
So now what? If your dream watch is too big for your wrist (according to standards out there, but not necessary by eye test) do you forget about it? Or do you buy it and don't care if you look like you wear a dinner plate on a wrist?
