I don't think it's too big, but then I wear this?
Looks like you could get a couple of fairground motorcyclists to ride ‘The wall of death’ inside that 😉

Depends on your personal preference.

If you’re asking me how I feel about your watch, then I’d say the ref. 2504.52 would look better on your wrist. It’s the same railmaster aqua terra, only smaller at 36mm

I just found the watch and you are right. Thank u very much

The large size rail master is big... I can rock a 45.5 POC no problem... not so much that one.

My honest opinion is that the watch is simply too big for your wrist. Looks like you should try the mid-size versions...

A lot of the perceived size has much to do with dial and bezel size as well. A 42mm diver with a big bezel will actually seem smaller than a 39mm watch without a pronounced bezel.

The correct way to wear a watch is on the other side of the wrist bone.

I was thinking the same thing. I've never seen someone wear a watch down past their wrist like that.
Funny...that's how I've always worn my watch(es). When I see other people's wrist shots, I always wonder how they wear their watches so high up their arms!

Yes it’s big but as others have mentioned the viewing angle is misleading. Get someone to take a picture of you wearing it with at least 2m between you and the camera and the impression will be quite different. Here are a couple of examples of how the Railmaster LE and latest SM can dramatically “shrink”:-

The perfect example of camera distortion. Watches appear bigger if taken within 2 feet.

I like wearing my watches before the wrist bone or on it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with someone letting their watch dangle on the wrist past the wrist bone, but I can’t help thinking that these people must have been young professionals in the early 90s.

Thanks for that. I would try to find a smaller version and try to change with mine

I wear my bracelets (and straps) loose as I can’t take anything snug in my wrists- so they tend to slide down to the top of my wrist just above the hand- I am always doing the wrist jiggle when it gets hung up if I flex my wrist and the crown digs into the back of my hand- vintage bracelets add to the experience with the jingle of hollow endlinks.
I have a knobby wrist so any pressure on the bone is irritating as hell.
You can see in this pic that I wear it in front of the bony protrusion at the top of my wrist- it’s just what comfortable for you.

My wrist is 6.75 inches and I currently don't own anything larger than my 40mm Stowa Flieger. It's a manual wind and is only 8.5mm high so it doesn't seem to wear as large for that reason. It fits nicer and the lighter weight keeps it in place. But it's your call in the end.

I just get this watch. I love how it looks. Omega did an amazing job with it. The only problem is that I am not sure if it look good on me. I think that maybe some watch are not for everyone. What do you think, is wearable?

Way too big I have to say.. awesome watch but it looks huge..
