^^ Yep agree. I think it will be too small and I have a 6.5inch wrist. I'm used to AP/Hublot/IWC3777 so yeah probably skip this one.

I have a 42mm Steinhart OV1 that feels like 44mm compared to this 512...thicker watch, big bezel, IDK....this 512 feels way smaller than I expected. It almost looks silly on me.

However, if it fits, it's a beauty. Lume color on mine looks great...not green or washed out at all.

I happen to LOVE the way the 512 fits my wrist, IMO its the perfect size for me to wear to work under a long sleeve shirt.
My wrist is about 6.75" (17.2 cm), and it really feels/looks great. I tried to pull off many different 47mm Panerai models and just can't do it.
The 44mm Luminor and 45mm Radiomir fit me well too, but I think the 42mm 1940's case fits me the best.
Now I am contemplating the gen (or a gen 510 since they are about the same cost on the pre-owned market)...

@atespo. I actually agree with your observations, in terms of fit, it is a slim dress watch...maybe that's the real change for me. I don't think I own any watch this slim. Couple that with the perceived lack of presence simply because of the brand. I'll try it again tomorrow.

Thanks for the pics. I have roughly the same wrist size as yours. Can you shared the width of your wrists when viewed from the top?

The yellow lume on the hands and hour markers doesn't look matching in the pics.

I've the same wrist size but find it too small to wear, most probably because I'm used to wearing Roo's [emoji2]
Got a new H factory 390 that I'm wearing today, and find this size better for me

Even when wearing dress shirts sharkey?

I'm on the fence about this only for dressy/formal but now if they mave a v2 with screws fixed... may be the clincher :)

Still looks too small bud, actually looks silly on my wrist.
Or maybe I've just come used to wear larger watches!
It's a fantastic rep jump in if you like it

I received mine this morning, a detail, but first time that I see a repped stample on a watch...

Wow, that looks stunning! May I ask where you ordered that from, Evora?

Also, is the dial brown? All 512 I've seen on the TD site shows black dial and black strap.
