First thanks to all.
I know about 60:60 but it would be better to nail it on first try. :)
And it's paint to send it back and then again wait for new one.
I found the dial a bit small at first because the bezel takes away a lot of the face surface area...
That's my fear exactly.
This is how my current 40mm (lug to lug 45mm/1.8in, dial 32mm/1.25in, bezel 4mm/0.15in) Swatch looks on me:

I also tried on Victorinox INOX:
43mm case width
51mm lug-to-lug
13mm thick
21mm lug width
198 grams

and Certina DS Action Diver Automatic
43mm case
49mm lug-to-lug
12mm thick
21mm lug width
186 grams

and I have to say neither looked to big to me on my wrist. My girlfriend said the same. That's why I'm leaning more towards 43mm.
Is there any similar watch except Tudor (shape,size,...), so that I could try it on first, just for comparison.

My wrist is 7.25" and I like the 43mm with a bracelet. I tried the 38mm with a strap, but thought it looked too small for me. I have also recently bought a 44mm C8 MkII which I really like - but would not like to go any bigger:

38mm for all wrist sizes... \:D/

As said above, the safe bet is to order both, compare, then send one back. It's entirely subjective. I own 3 Tridents in 38mm and for my 6 inch wrists, even that feels a bit large at times. On the couple of occasions I've seen the 43mm versions in the metal, they looked enormous to my eyes.

I have 7 1/2 inch wrists and tbh I think the 43 wears small probably due shape of watch. TBH I would go big and if you don't like it send back but I think you'll stick with the 43

38mm is small for a dive watch.

I went for the larger, most of my watches are 40mm and above and I think it feels just right. Comparing it to the others I have, it's a bit smaller but not too small.

All comes down to personal preference but as said before, the customer service is superb here so I wouldn't hesitate to buy one and try it on for size at home.

This post was helpful, thank you. I was trying to decide for my 7 3/8 to 7 1/2 inch wrist and I think the 43 would be the rest choice. I think the 38 would look way too small.

This might help. 7.25" wrist. Watch out on ordering both - I tried that and my wife decided she wanted the 38mm!
