Just picked up this Mark XVIII and was wondering if it looked too large on my wrist?

 

Yes definitely too big. I'll take it off your hands, PM me your paypal and I'll send over the shipping cost

 

Does look a bit big there, need some pics from further away to reduce the forced perspective look.
I wear my larger watches lower on y wrist, sort of where the join to the hand is which helps the look a bit.

 

I can see what op means.

 

It's always the watches fault

Couple of months

 

It looks to be on the big side for your wrist. Lugs appear to be spilling over both sides a tad. At least, that's my general rule. If the case + lugs are larger than my wrist is wide, it is too big. Could you give us a couple shots from different angles and from a little distance? Close ups always make the watch appear bigger.

 

Big, small.... no one is gonna notice anyway, so please yourself.

All you'll get here is smartass comments like mine and diametrically opposed opinions.

Hope this is helpful.

 

IMO, and especially given my small wrist, almost every contemporary IWC is too big!

 

Maybe this is a better perspective.

 

It looks fine from further away. Enjoy!

 

It is. It looked a bit big in the first picture IMO but it looks perfect from a bit of distance.

 

It's fine

 

Only 6 weeks now

 

Yeah forced perspective. Need to take a picture of this one further away. Looks big on my 6.75 wrist.

 

It looks like you're actually wearing it on your toe.

 

In my honest opinion... yes!

 

What about your dishonest opinion?

 

Would be if i reply: i love it as it looks

But it just me, i had a IWC Big Pilot and i loved it... but was bizarre in my wrist

Cheers

 

I'm kind of where you are at, I love the look. Something feels a bit off. I'll try to bond with it for a few days and see what happens.

 

There is something about thew IWC Mark watches that do not work for my wrist - the lugs are too long and straight, jutting out from the sides. Creates an overhang.
