To check the wrist-size and strap-size try this from one of the forum strapmakers (printable wrist measurer..scroll down): http://migliorestraps.com/Order.html

Great link! I'm going to print this and try it out.

UPDATE: I'm on the last line. 23 centimeters = 9 inches. Phew. Doesn't look like Migliore makes straps that big... Still looking at the daily wear thread for inspiration!

Just verifying, the 44mm PAM111 has a 22mm lug, right? Making sure I buy the right strap width.

9 inches??!!?? I don't think you measured correctly.

The 111 has 24mm lug width.

I might not have. I was pretty careful about printing the wrist ruler, but I don't have a way to verify it at the office. I'll run home and try again...

My bad! It was just over 8 inches. I forgot I had an Orbitape in my gym bag. (Those make it a LOT easier to measure your own wrist.)

At 8" you are on the larger size for straps. By looking at the photos in the OP, I am still not sure if that measurement is correct. However, if it's truly 8", then you will need at least a 140/85. If you go for a thicker strap, then you can add 5-10 mm to the long side.

that is one large wrist you have. You do seem to wear the watch rather high IMO more like forearm. Just my opinion though as I wear watches quite loose so the cg rests on the back of my hand. Different strokes for different folks

As tootall says you need at least 140/85 if you any kind of tail going through the keepers.

You'll have no trouble getting strap makers to make that size most strap makers stock those dimensions.

Yep. 111 is good for you and you just need a bigger strap.

No the watch does not look small. The size of the watch is very fine. What you need is a after market strap because they are usually a lot longer than rep straps.
