Should I go 45mm instead?

·45mm is a BIG watch. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and I would never consider anything larger than my Speedmaster at 42mm.

·Yes, definitely go 45mm for your wrist. The 42mm looks sort of girly on you.
Don't mind the people telling you 45+ mm is big. It's like a 5' tall person wearing size S shirts telling you size XL is way too big from their perspective. 7.5" is a general measurement for your wrist but doesn't paint the whole picture because some people have oval/flat wrists while others have round. Big watches were made for wrists like yours.

··Seamasters ForeverYou could definitely wear a 45 mm watch but I also don't think that one looks too small. What is a lot more important is how you feel about the watch on your own wrist, if you think it is too small, that's likely to bother you.
This is a very expensive watch that you are purchasing for yourself as a luxury and the only person you really have to make happy with it is you.

·I think it looks fine. The watch doesn't need to eclipse your wrist.
Why don't you wear it for a month or so and re-evaluate after you had some time to get used to it? I find my perception of big or small changes depending on how long I wear a size.

·I agree, wear it for some days and evaluate how you feel about it afterward. I was used to wearing a big watch and it felt weird when I started trying some smaller, vintage pieces. After a couple of days, I got used to it and now I can use both without issues in my mind.
To me, it looks fine on you, but ultimately it's your choice. If you don't like it after those days, go for the bigger one.

·That looks quite small on your wrist.
What is the outer bezel size on those? If it is a '42mm' PO, my guess is the bezel size is 40.5mm which makes it looks small. I have the 43.5 8900 with a 42mm bezel and that looks perfect on my 7.5" wrist.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...I have the 45.5 POC. And my wrist is 7.5.
it’s big but I only get away with it as it’s a chrono.

yeah it’s a 42 and the bezel is definitely around 40mm

·Need to see the 45mm on your wrist to know for sure. It’s always risky buying a watch without trying it on but I personally this one looks great on your wrist

·It does look a touch small on your wrist but I think it looks good. I agree to wear it for awhile and see how you like it. I’m not a fan of big watches so anything over 42mm sounds like too much to me. But I understand they wear more normal for those with larger wrists.

Or maybe a watch size doesn't necessarely need to follow the size of someone's wrist?
