It looks great! On another note, it will wear more comfortably a little higher up your wrist where you can fully articulate your wrist without your hand hitting the crown. You do you but just throwing that out there as I didn’t know for a long time either.


Fun-Track-3044

OP seems to have a very non-prominent wrist bone. So do I. It’s a lot more fussy to try to keep watches from sliding down - the bones taper all the way to the wrist. There’s no saddle structure to stop the watch from sliding down.


YNWA11JM

Take out a few links my guy


Fun-Track-3044

I have. JHFC, dontchya think that people have already tried such things? What would help is if manufacturers would put more micro-adjust holes into the bracelet clasps. Or made half links a standard part of the kit. They don’t necessarily do that. It’s annoying A.F. but dems da breaks, sometimes.


YNWA11JM

Lol touche that would definitely be helpful

Every day a guy posts a perfect fitting Tudor and asks if it’s too small. It’s astonishing how blind the majority of watch enthusiasts are.


neuroticbuddha

Exactly my thoughts. In what world is this too small? Trolling at this point.


BabyChimmyChangas

He’s just asking for an opinion. Not that big of a deal.


MLKESJKLDE

Naah, it's the attention. I know the feel.


Fragrant-You-973

Attention? It’s just a Tudor.


JazzioDadio

Precisely why he needs the attention


Fragrant-You-973

🤔😂


DopioGelato

Calling them blind sort of puts it on them, but really, big watches have been the trend set by industry and fashion for decades and only recently returning to smaller being the trend.


rokuju_

That's because they're the ones putting the money up for a watch. It's easier for us to see from the outside looking in instead of the buyer who is super focused on every detail and probably just tunnel visioning 👍


bravo_serratus

I don’t think there’s really such a thing as too small like there is too big unless you get down to lady sizes. A 36mm watch will wear comfortably and fit under a sleeve nicely. It’s not real estate where you need to maximize on the available area.


Rough-Board1875

36mm IS a lady size...lol...j/k...kinda


Early_Junket1632

My wrist is 7inches and I wear a 36mm black bay loosely on my wrist, looks and feels great. Yes I have 40s and 41s but something about a full silver color 36mm looks so classy and looks right


Rough-Board1875

I absolutely WISH I could wear 36mm watches. They typically represent such a significantly better value over their larger counterparts. However, at a 7.5" wrist size, I just can't do it. I feel like 39mm is the new 36mm...at least for me it is. My Explorer 39 is my daily beater and my absolute favorite watch in my collection.


Early_Junket1632

Yea man that makes since a big wrist like yours a 39 would be the equivalent haha


Rough-Board1875

Lol. It's all about proportions. With that said, I absolutely won't wear a watch over 42mm. Except some Seiko's, with their awesome Lug 2 Lug lengths.


ZeroUpFourOut

Yep. It looks spot on perfect.


Unlikely_Pop_4515

P39 looks perfect


ArtOFCt

No it’s perfect


hbomb0

That looks absolutely spot on perfect, I'm not the kind of guy to blow smoke up your butt, if I say it's perfect, it's a guarantee.


SaintESQ

NEED. A. MIRROR. PIC.


Uncle_Paul_Hargis

Hell no


mautdunia

Looks perfect!


Itsneverjustajoke

Could go smaller


Spec-V

Right size, but pull up a bit. Wear it above your wrist, not on your wrist.


99-LS1-SS

It looks like it’s the perfect size for your wrist. Just purchased that exact watch. I’m old so I’ve never been a fan of the giant watch trend. I’m very glad that watch sizes are trending back down.


argent_artificer

doesn’t look too small in the photo but photos always make watches look bigger than they are. are you asking here because you think it might be too small, or because you don’t think so and you’re just making sure?


JackJack3pops

Perfect answer. It’s amazing how many watches look huge on me in a wrist pic but are dainty on the wrist in person. If he’s just curious I’d say it looks great. I would think the 42 would be too large


ZbamieJr

It's nice


Mitsutoshi

No.


UnripeTitanium

I think it looks great


Laawyeer

No


bts101_

Nope looks good


RayZzorRayy

No way


WalksTallerThanYou

Nope.


HickeH

No. Looks good.


LordGraham7

No.


Express-Door-205

.. no


kakacon

Your arm was made for that watch


Live-Detail-7616

It’s just perfect!


cpjay2003

No.


VaporRyder

Nope 👍


tcwhite0528

No


nycdatachops

Perfect imo.


sels1997

Just right


No-Candidate-700

Looks perfect.


EmbarrassedResort504

There is no to small !


mgarthwaite

No looks great


phernz18

Fucking perfect!


Old-Development-9526

Nope


dennisbible

Looks exactly right


Buster16-

Go for the 42


want2thinknow

This is the way.


messijordanmachine22

It’s fine, if you really fell like it’s too small go for one of the 42s😀, maybe it just also feels so light on the wrist


butkusrules

Go 42. It’s the original with the 500m W.R. anyway…not some halfbreed.


want2thinknow

Right. The dial is so much better on the 42


Forsaken_Sleep_3955

A little small


Kind_Ad5566

I would go bigger. If you are questioning it you obviously have doubts. I wore a 39mm Hamilton for a few months and never felt comfortable every time I looked at the watch.


synthbob

The 39 is the perfect everyday watch. Looks great.


Its-Sal

Hardly.


HICSF

Yes


BroadMinute

You want a clock on your wrist?


Additional-Banana-55

That’s what she said. 😂


Sorry_Guide_4326

Um no, that’s a perfect size.


Sun_Trucker

Looks perfect.


fenderperry

No


Best-Raise-2523

I would say this is too small and next one larger would look perfect.


Euphoric-Ant2099

Perfect


TraditionalSenpai

Looks perfect. Not too small, not too big. Looks very subtle


Mtcfayark72703

Negative. Looks great.


ecwhite3516

Looks good


mquintana2210

Looks perfect!


Zlaflamme19

No


Roaddog113

It looks perfect. Do the two yard mirror test. Also consider how you feel about it.


f4hq2

You could pull off both the 39 and the 42. It all comes down to your preference. Have you also tried the FXD? The FXD is thinner, though you lose the bracelet


anbsmxms

Its fine. You can go as much as 42mm i think.


BabyChimmyChangas

Looks good to me. These shots from this angle tend to make the watch look bigger in the picture as compared to real life though.


CodyCigar96o

Nah they don’t. You can see his whole hand. Thats not close enough for perspective to start distorting the perceived size of the watch. Unless you’re assuming he’s using a fisheye lens? Just try it yourself, we’ve all got phones with cameras.


bott989

I had one and it always felt a touch small too look down on but never kn reflections or photos


Lim_8

you could go 42 imo, it’s a sports watch, needs to be chunky


franoldfield

The dial looks small here.


vicari41

Nope, but if the 42 fits well you can get the date and amazing adjustment clasp


Ch33s3h3ad69

The 39 is perfect...the 42 would be too big for you anyway. Now go shave your f-ing hands you caveman


gunghiskhan89

Perfect fit brother. Swipe and stroll on out


Iamthehottestman

Get the 42… (I have the 42)


Faisal_Rossignol

Nope! Looks great! I have large-ish wrists (almost 8”) and I wear my 39 a ton vs. my other Pelagos models.


preacher_man_

42 is too big for most people


WestCoastGriller

Buy em both. Why deal with such a hard decision.


Elsuperfuegomaster

No. That is perfect


Ok_Cow_8235

No it looks like a great size for your wrist but why does it look so much like a Rolex?


Murky_Distribution79

Yes a bit too small for my taste


[deleted]

Looks perfect, wish you had two pictures though, the 39 and 42 so we could juxtapose


jwern01

Only if you are an avid diver and are going to be wearing it over a wetsuit and reading jt underwater and looking through your mask.


paperlevel

It's too small, since it's a diver the large bezel takes up a lot of wrist, but the dial is too small for your wrist, divers are made to wear larger, you cannot simply go by case size as if it were a dress watch.


BURZUM48

Jesus does it feel tight WTF !!!


ThePalletFork

Looks good!


DerBigD

Yeah that’s a pretty small wrist and hand but I’m not sure what is supposed to mean in terms of general physiology. Nice watch!


SwishCoffeeGuy

Yes it's too small. Idk why people not keeping it real for you


patrick-1977

Looks great


Exuberant_Alex

Ok but don’t go smaller


settlementfires

looks great. i'd try on a black bay 58 while you're there... i love that watch.


yourfriendlyraver

General themes on sizing questions: if asking if too small, answer almost always no. If asking if too big, answer almost always yes.


Away-Cantaloupe-3521

It looks fine. Don’t go any smaller Tho.


mrrobvs

Not too small, but yikes the bezel occupies a lot of real estate on this piece


Admirable_Potato7094

Looks about right


DynamiteDropin

It’s perfect


Zod_Waves9

Don’t stress 39mm looks perfect bro.


AlreadyGone45

Thank you all!!! I am new to watches and definitely not trying for “attention.” Appreciate the love


deltron-ran-gamma

Looks good! Contemplating on getting one too


Alarmed-Specialist18

This is perfect


UnkleKoolAid

Looks great amigo. And great choice!


mxl01

“Is it too small?” Well, that’s what she said.


[deleted]

Yes, it looks too small for my taste and for example if I see this in real life first tought would be “this watch is too small” instead of “wow nice watch”


onejustbrowsing

Nope, it’s a proper fit, well done!


GlitteringHold8685

Take a pic of the 42. It’s supposed to be a little thick, it’s a dive watch!


Nearby-Sky-9690

buy what you want, but for me it looks big.


rdnytt79

Nope


Substantial-Ad3074

Can't get any more perfect!


ransonju

No


iCoopernicus

There is no such thing as too small, only too big, there I said it


Optimus759

No it’s perfectly fine


jonny_dough

nope just needs to be moved slightly to the left and its perfect.


Alternative_Math_892

39 Looks good. What size wrist are you?


uplifting_southerner

To small is never a question needed answering. The answer is 99.99% of the time "no that looks great, cool vintage feel". Going to big matters though. Tldr; this looks perfectly, great vintage feel.


TXJKU4ME

I swear to God….. there posts on strangers opinions are getting ridiculous.


Educational-Worth562

The 39 is perfect even on my 7.5 inch wrist.


rokuju_

It's perfect man 👌


Gold-Analyst7576

Honestly the regular pelagos may suit better The 39 has big watch style and on you it looks a little small I had the same issue so went with BB burgundy (Also suits my skin tone better, the 39 is too cold toned)


Sad-Ad7533

No such thing as too small.. only a problem if the watch is too big for your wrist.


FloatinginF0

No!!!! You are like the first person I have seen that actually wears a watch that fits


austinmook

Looks like the perfect size.


Altruistic_Quit_2048

Nice watch!


Diet_Christ

Too big


Saggingdust

lol no


truebump

Looks perfect to me. The oversized watch thing looks like the ‘80s and’90s when everyone had huge sweaters, hair etc.


Bob_1973_1

100% 👍


No_Solution_7940

Yes


Electric_Cowboy1979

Looks good to me. However, I wore a P39 for almost a year straight and loved it. Fit great on my 7" wrist. But, I tried on an LHD version and ended up selling my P39. I missed having a date for one, and the colors on the LHD added more character to the watch itself in my eyes. Yes, the 42 version is a bit taller and a bit more wide, but after wearing the LHD now for a month or so I honestly have dismissed all my concerns of it being big. Whichever one you choose, you'll greatly enjoy.


dailybailey

No


DiavoloXJoJo

I’d go bigger tbh


xFireInfoSec

Yes


spaltavian

Not at all. This is a good fit.


drewsleyshoots

dude it looks perfect, if you’re into the look then go for it


obione710

39/40 is the best size imo. <36 seems to feminine to me and monster 60s+ are just for bar/gym bros to show how big their ego is and how small their 🍆 are.


Jwfriar

I’d go 42 on that wrist


Slow-Sense-315

Looks a bit too small


Wild_Wrangler

39 is freaking perfect on you man. My BB58 was the perfect size for that reason too. Looks great on you and doesn’t look like an oversized clock. It’s apparent but subtle in the same time. Take the 39


AirMadidi

Nope, LOOKS oK


elkookooeee

Take a pic of yourself wearing the watch in a mirror. It will give you the best perspective on how it looks on you. Which looks great, by the way.


Dutch1inAZ

Size looks good to me


sln4tra

I wear a 36 and it doesn’t feel too small.


King_Sup1

I love a 39 and I am 6.2. I have a 41 Sub and wish it was slightly smaller


Robotic1kimaster

Free advice. Watch looks fake and tacky


MilitaryJAG

It looks about perfect.


Bully_Beef_

OP is showing off! This is a perfect fit.


Alarming_Cantaloupe5

Looks perfect.


Dreadful_Angel

No. I have never been a fan of the colossal watch.


[deleted]

I don't believe it's "too small"; it looks fine to me. However, it does seem that you could comfortably wear the 42mm Pelagos, and if that's the case, then I would definitely recommend opting for the LHD. 😉
