Re: Aqua Terra Dial Size
In Response To: Aqua Terra Dial Size ()

It sounds to me like you bought the right size. I considered the 39mm Aqua Terra before deciding on a DeVille instead. My wrist size is about 6 3/4" (much smaller than yours) and I wear a full size Bond SMP daily. The mid size 35mm Aqua Terra looked tiny compared to the Seamaster I'd gotten used to, so the larger 39mm model is the one that looked best on me.

If you have a 7.5" wrist, I think the 35mm model would have looked exceptionally small on your wrist. In fact, you could probably pull off the larger 41mm model if you really wanted to. Large faced watches have been the style for years now (for both men and women) and I don't see an end in sight.
