I think the photos make the watch look bigger than it actually wears.julywest wrote:I think it looks too big also but thats up to Peteo. No way anyone can increase wrist size so you gotta do what you gotta do.downer wrote:In your not so humble opinion.............ndabunka wrote:That red jag looks WAY too big on Peteo's photos IMHO but perhaps that was what peteo wants (the huge look).
One thing to remember is that the diameter is not nearly as important as the shape. A wide, flat 6.5 could be "just fine" but a round 6.75 like Peteo's makes the C60 look HUGE.
The C60 series is well designed to fit wrists with the lugs bending downwards.
I wish that CW made more 40mm watches. I think that those would generally be the right size for me. I've got a couple of 42s, a 43 and a couple of 44s. The two 44s (Magrette Bronze or Brass or Whatever and the Steinhart Nav) definitely wear really big on me, but I like them enough that it doesn't really bother me. The 43 (C9 FLE) wears a lot smaller than that. It certainly feels smaller than my Kingfisher and my Trident, which are 42s.
Yeah, most watches built nowadays look big on me. But I'm 5'5", 130 lbs, with 6.5" wrists. Pretty much everything looks big on me. So my options are wear big or go home.

Well your height weight sounds like you are a guy in good shape and thus I retract my comment . I think you are doing what you should wearing something you like and if wears well based on your wrist, then good! I bet with short sleeve shirt on that baby stands out. I dont like anything myself above 43mm and I am 6ft 190lbs and OLD!Peteo wrote:

I have a small wrist, and I don't find my FLE sits too large on it at all.
(When my girlfriend first saw the watch before I put it on, she thought it'd be too large. When I put it on, she changed her mind, and decided it looked just great.)
