    Not yet mine but i got to play with it. Should i persuade my friend who has just gotten it to let me have it instead? It looks BIG on both our wrists hence the hesitation.

    Unworn and unsized pc before it ended up with us. Hahaha. Once i brought it home, wasted no time 'molesting' it all over. It's a beauty and i kept staring at it. Just the size that's holding me back. 20200713_232617.jpg 20200713_233219.jpg 20200713_232958.jpg 20200713_233022.jpg 20200713_232921.jpg 20200713_232850.jpg 20200713_233252.jpg 20200713_233412.jpg

    It's easy for strangers to spend YOUR money, so yes, go ahead and buy it.

    So it's not too big for my wrist or just because it's a nice watch? ;)

    Hmmm. Might really just take over this beauty.

    If you love it sure.
    Myself I find the date hard to read quickly on those subdials and I much rather the cleaner face.
    I do like the moon phase on the dial but again Id like it much more without the date ring.

    Might just be the angle or the photo but that looks way too big fir your wrist. Lugs shouldnt extend past the wrist like that

    listen to your gut

    I need some friends who offer to give me brand new watch they just purchased. :rolleyes:

    If you like the watch and how it looks on you, enjoy it! Who cares what we think about what it looks like? You do you.

    Personally, I'm not a fan of that reference, but my opinion really shouldn't matter to you.

    But to be serious- if you are second guessing it now, you’ll second guess it a month from now. To me it looks massive. Those solid end links don’t help but the lugs look like the far extend the edge of your wrists. Ultimately though... who are we to decide for you? If you like it, get it.

    Honestly that’s too big for your wrist.

    Nice watch.

    What size wrist do you have?
    How big is the case?
    It does look big on you but I have watches that wear big on me as well.

    In the photos, it does look too big, but photos can be deceiving.

    If you like it, go for it...

    If you too think it's too big, try a Speedmaster Reduced (39mm)

    In my personal opinion it looks too massive on your wrist. If it would look like that on my wrist I would eventually would have to let it go.

    Ultimately it is of course your opinion that matters.

    Just my 2 cents.

    The earlier version was smaller and can be got at a much lower price.

    It also looks better, I think.

    Don’t just acquire it because it’s easy or convenient to buy. Try other sizes on and see how you feel after

    Nice watch, cool dial, a tad too large.

    Thank you friends for the frank opinion. I guess i wanted too much for it to fit my wrist.

    Problem is, my friend bought it unworn/unsized just yesterday. Now that i have spent time trying it and removed the stickers, i have caused it's value to drop by a fair bit. So i will pay him what he paid for it. Might put in an original leather with deployment to try soften the look.

    I supposed many of you are right that i like it too much and am finding reasons to wear it for a while... :)
