Blancpain FF on small wrist?

I've got the hots for a FF but at 45mm I'm concerned it may be just too big on my 6.75" wrist.

Do any other small wristed members wear one? If so, got any wrist pics please?

If I do pull the trigger is there a best version / source to go for please?

@fok67 Have the same size wrist and while it's definitely a big watch, that's the point. Happened to be wearing this so snapped a photo for you. Feel like almost any watch looks bigger in a wrist shot than in real life. Palm tree reflection since you're in the UK. I say go for it.

@Fin.....That's just what I was looking for, many thanks for doing that.

I don't think it does look too big so the hunt may well be on for the right one.

Thanks again.

I got myself a gen MKii Stingray which is 42mm for that proper vintage diver look but fancy a FF as well.

Is there a particular factory or model to go for?

my wrist isn't that small, 7 1/2" , though, much like the rest of me, pretty evenly distributed... here's a shot taken from a distance that doesn't over exaggerate the size on my wrist, as many wide angle pics can do.

I have wrists 7" and FF is one of my favourite watches. I have triend it on my wife's wrist and her's definitely smaller than 6" and it was almost ok.
What makes it so wearable is extremely short lugs. Compared to Panerai 42mm it is still smaller and similar to Breitling SOH2 42.

Hey m8, I was wondering, if that's rep that you have, where did you got it with steel bracelet ?
I would really like to get my hands on steel bracelet.

Nah, it’s my gen. There were some reps with bracelets out there, they weren’t spectacular though
