·It looks fine as far as I'm concerned. Besides, comfort is really what counts.
And size is a very subjective notion. Tough guys in 1950s movies wore watches that may seem too small by our modern standards, but they didn't seem to care. In the late 1980s, I acquired my first expensive watch when I bought a Breitling Navitimer, and faced gentle mockery from some of my friends for wearing a "clown watch", as its size clashed with the ubiquitous Swatch models that seemed to be on everyone's wrist. Today, that same watch with its 41 mm size might seem a bit small to some, though the pendulum has been swinging back towards more measured formats over the last few years. I never cared. As long as the watch is appealing to me comfortable to wear, who cares what some other people may think? Arbiters of elegance are no longer a thing, are they?

·I think it looks great. Case size can be a bit deceiving. Other factors like lug length and lug width have an effect on how a watch wears on the wrist as well as thickness and materials used.
