Wow! I wasn't aware that such a club existed, so hi to all and cheers!!

I've got a 6.5" wrist and wasn't too comfortable wearing anything over 44mm. But after some positive feedback from the forum, now it's a non issue.

Here is my Black_shark Burnt Brownie 47mm Panerai Radiomir.

One thing I've noticed is that with some bracelets and beads it creates a bigger wrist illusion or something and it doesn't feel that weird.

Subscribed! Didn't realize this thread came in with very useful wrist shots. Dang I better start from page 1, this is gonna be fun, actually.

Just checked my wrist and it was 16.3cm, that, assuming my math is right, is around 6.3". That said I like my watches hanging a bit loose on my wrist, so is it safe to assume that slightly bigger cases can still fit well (I'm thinking 45mm or less)?

It's amusing how a mere 2-3mm difference in diameter can totally change how a watch fits on your wrist.

I got an AP Diver on my 6.4" it is technically 42mm but wears much larger (think it's 47mm with crowns etc.), the lugs reaches the end of my wrist and I personally think it looks good.
It depends on how you like your watches looking and your wrist shape though.

Ah nice, I'm thinking of getting an ap 15400 so it's good to know.

I like my watch a bit loose on my wrist, not a fan of tight fits as they both make my wrist look even skinnier and leave me with red marks from sweating, especially rubber straps.
