    This will be my first Omega.

    I have about a 6.5 in wrist. Is the Speedy Pro at 42mm too large?

    I have also attached pics of the 38mm Speedy co-ax. Apologize for poor pic quality.

    Hi. Try it on a leather strap. It'll look smaller.

    this, but buy it on the bracelet and get the strap separately. Its much more expensive to get the bracelet later.

    Watches always look a lot bigger when photos are taken like that.

    Get someone to take a photo with your hand casually in your pocket from a bit further away than pictures above to get a true guide of size.

    Pick the pro ;)

    This x1000. I’m always surprised how big some of my watches look in pictures but when I see them in a full length mirror they are perfect.

    Yeah the Pro always looks sort of large in pictures...and then I look down at mine and it seems tiny in comparison (that's what she said.)
    But in all seriousness, get the Pro.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion_(photography)

    "perspective distortion is a warping or transformation of an object and its surrounding area that differs significantly from what the object would look like with a normal focal length, due to the relative scale of nearby and distant features... and is due to the angle of view of the image (as captured) being either wider or narrower than the angle of view at which the image is viewed, hence the apparent relative distances differing from what is expected."
