Can you wear 125 / 80 straps? That's a decent test. I'm wearing 130 / 80:

I have 7" wrists and wear a Fiddy regularly. The wife thinks it looks good; however, she says the Breitling for Bentley -- another big watch -- looks best on my wrist.

On a side note, I am 6'0" and around 250 pounds. I guess my size kind of balances out the watch and my bird-sized wrists.

Me too,, I wear 44mm pams that look fine,, my Ultimate PO 45.5mm looks good,, tried on LWA's fiddy at a small GTG with Supermanx and... it looked goofy on me.. I wont buy one for that reason.

Others will tell you to go for it.. that strap test that someone mentioned is not a bad way to tell, if you have larger arms/wrists.. you'll be ok.. 1/2 makes a difference IMO

My watch wrist it about 7-1/4, maybe a little more, and I love my Fiddy. I get comments all the time about how big it is. :wink: I love it.

:x That's what I was afraid of. There was already confirmatory bias on my part, so I probably wouldn't have gotten the fiddy but I WANTED people to convince me otherwise (wishful thinking). I think I'll stick with the 44's as the 40's look too fake & weak althouhg Panerai is really marketing those more nowadays.
