·Long story short: I've had this 2500 39mm Aqua Terra (2503.80) for just over four years -- it's the watch that got me collecting, and I got it, full set, for a steal. At the time, I was trying to decide between it and an 8500 Aqua Terra at 38.5mm. It was ultimately the thinness of the 2500 that won out.
On occasion, though, it always strikes me as a smidge too big (6.5" wrist), and I've toyed with switching it for the 8500. But every time I try one on, the relative thickness of the 8500 (plus the chunkier case and appearance overall -- hands, etc.) turns me off.
And then today, I was at a dealer that had an old 36mm 2504.80, and I tried it on -- and it just seemed more reasonable (I wasn't wearing this at the time, so I couldn't do a direct comparison -- and I failed to take any photos of the 36mm on my wrist
). I'm hesitant to go through the whole process of switching out, but by the same token, don't want to overthink it myself -- so I figured I would ask here. Does my current, 39.2mm look right? Or is it too big for my wrist?
