New addition........too big???

I picked up a Chopard Gran Turismo XL and love it, but man is it big. I have pathetically small wrists. The strap is in the second to tightest position! Oh well, I'm keeping it

Don't you just love the Dunlop strap!! And don't worry about your wrists - I had mine on the tightest!

From the picture it doesn't look too big. Good looking watch, congrats.

Actually it looks perfect on your wrist... Once you get used to a big watch wearing anything smaller is going to make you think it's a ladies watch.

Love the Chopard, I have to pick one up some day!!

Thanks guys. I'm quickly getting used to it. Crusher, you're right.......my Omega and Tag are 42mm and are looking a bit small. My IWC is 44mm and now seems medium

After a while nothing beats wearing a big watch... You can feel it on your arm, and it grabs your attention at the most random times. It's weird to describe, but it makes you feel like the boss.

Honestly, after going to bigger watches I immediately realized why women like big diamonds.

It's just... BAM!!
