Re: Watch Size
I got the missus to measure me so I wouldn't convince myself I was bigger than I really am. Anyway I came in at 7 inches.
I love the original CW logo and wanted a chronograph so pushed the button on the mark one rapide in the nearly new. I'll keep you posted when it arrives as to perception of size, height, weight etc.

Re: Watch Size
I think Roy Hodgson strapped the watch box to his wrist by mistake tonight.

Re: Watch Size
Just seen it briefly now don't think it suits him. A nice slimline dress watch would look better

Re: Watch Size
It's a shame you passed on the C4. I'm wearing mine (on bracelet) now and it sits very comfortably on the wrist
I am not a collector of watches. I used to be able to say that and know I was telling the truth.
Re: Watch Size
I have a c.7'' wrist and I regularly wear anything from a lugless 33mm vintage Moser from the '30s to a C11 that wears bigger than its stated 42mm.
Moser from the late '30s
C11
I think both work with a wrist my size. The Moser is great when I'm dressed more formally; the C11 is perfect with jeans. It's not only size that matters IMO but also context. Informal dress and a clunkier watch can be a great combination IMO!

Re: Watch Size
Just noticed the pictures are upside downKip wrote:Feedback on the smaller strap will be appreciated for certain.lostguy wrote: They now offer small straps in the 15-18cm range; 6.5" = 16.5cm so thatwould be perfect. I've ordered a C7 Rapide mkii v390 with the smaller strap and will be happy to report back if requested.
I have the plastic and tag still on the watch because i'm not supposed to be wearing btw
The small strap is indeed small. I'm on hole 3/6 with 6.5" wrists. The buckle doesn't seem to quite sit in the middle of my wrist but off to one side, but i guess that's a minor thing to get a snug fit.
The leather strap is okay. It's thinner than expected (my C4 pilot has thicker padded leather) and doesn't feature the butterfly clasp which I prefer.
The watch is more polished than I expected. Not just the steel numerals but the casing-- a very shiny mirror finish that catches the light but you can't see this in the photos. It could easily pass for a watch in a formal office setting and it makes it look less sporty. I think I'll be getting a perforated strap at some point.

Re: Watch Size
My wrist is about 6.75 and I prefer the look/feel of max. 40mm watches...though I also have a 44 that wears rather small and looks great. It really seems to depend on the watch design.
Re: Watch Size
Same here... the C5 looks better on me with my thin wrists but the C3 is still great. Couldn't have anything larger though. I am sure I've had this conversation before
