| I think its a little big for my taste. But in the end it does'nt really matter what I think. In spite of my impeccable taste and general willingness to offer my opinion-I still see people running around in baggy pants, housecoats, gold teeth, muffin tops and the like. | |

| To each his own, but I think it looks too big. I like big watches, wear a Russian Diver once every couple of weeks. But I wouldn't want to wear a watch that looked like that on me. | |

- well to be honest..........no , it does not look to big to ME. seriously, it all depends what you like. if you think it looks to big.....thats fine, if i think your watch looks too small, thats me..
ive been staying away from the bigger watches recently........thinking there was something wrong with me wearing a big watch like that.
welll i got gifted a new russian diver on a distressed leather strap........i cant take it off.......yep, its big...........its supposed to be.....but i have about an 8inch wrist, and my hands are not small so while it looks big, it fits me......
it really is all a matter of preference..........do i see a point where it can get too big .......yes. if the watch and lugs overhang your wrist completley than yeah, it looks silly. but this b&r in question fits the width of his wrist and the lugs curve down, i think it looks fine.
lets be honest, if we didnt care how a watch looked, we would all have $10 timex's on. we do in part by watches for how they look .........a big watch looks good and gets alot of attention........
that being said, if your wearing a big watch, just to wear a big one, and it doesnt fit you properly, than you shouldnt be wearing it, because it is silly then........
but like this russian diver im wearing right now, its comfortable as hell, the crown doesnt bother me or dig in to my wrist, i actually dont even realize that its there.........its very comfortable and wraps right around my wrist.
so it is all up to you...........if its comfortable , wears good on you and you like it............wear it.........i do not think the watch in the OP looks bad at all.........seems to fit him good. It looks like it acutally overhangs the person's wrist. I don't know, maybe they are going for the comments or something...who knows. IMHO, looks much too large...but I am just a donkey! | |

| Yes..As soon as I saw the picture I thought this Bell & Ross looked a bit to big on that wrist ! I almost thought it was an extra large version of the watch..but it was really the size of the person's wrist. I have done the same thing in the past, where I just love the design and then realize my wrist might be a little small for the watch..but still end up wearing it ! | |
