I hate bringing up old threads, but I just had to update. After 9 months making this thread, I finally got it!
I have gone through a few other watches since, waiting for one of these to hit the used market at a good price. Found one selling locally so this last Friday, I went on my lunch to purchase it. I love it!

Congrats. Beautiful watch. The Aqua Terra line is just such a subtle, elegant beauty that you can wear with anything from shorts and a t-shirt to a suit. I always thought a moonwatch would be my first Omega, but now I think it'll be my third after I get an AT.
I used to own the recent 38mm version but always felt it was slightly too large for my 6.5 inch wrists to accommodate given that it is all dial.
When viewed from a little distance, as show in the picture, it wore ok I think but looking at it up close on my wrist I couldn’t ever quite get comfortable.
Maybe I just prefer more traditionally sized watches? Or maybe I need to buy it again and just give myself more time to acclimatise!

Wrist shots can be tricky, and usually the watch looks bigger than it's actually wearing. So for what it's worth, that watch doesn't "look" too big for your wrist at all. At least from my perspective and that photo.

Looks like the right size to me!
Thanks!
Here are two more pics which are more up close and therefore better reflect what I was seeing and why I thought the AT was perhaps to big for me.

There are endless threads on this and other forums on "How do I know if it fits?" etc. I think if the lugs are sitting on top of your wrist and not over lapping it... there's a good chance it's not too big. If there is air and not skin under the lugs, your watch is too big.
