Steinhart 44mm vs 47mm, can't make decision!
« on: February 11, 2012, 07:31:56 PM »
I am about to pull trigger on 47mm steinhart pilot but have reservation it might look too big on my 6.5 inch wrist! Worse is that no local AD to try out!!!!!!

It might or might not be too big for you(that depends ojn your taste, not your wrist size, other wise we won't be spotting girls with panerais) but the 47mm will definitely be uncomfortable on a 6.5 inches wrist.

I'd go with the 44 but if you think you can wear a 47 go for it!

at first i wasnt aiming my gun at 47mm, but this watch gotta be a so called beater and it can be too eye catchy, so how i am torn between 44mm and 47mm but i think it might be 44 mm as it represent the best balance.

I have a 44mm steinhart and it looks ok on me. Suggest you go try out other model with similar size to see how well it fits on your wrist.

I also find 44mm more suitable for wrist 6- inch plus wrist. I Personally find 40mm diameter the best most of the time

I would advise 44mm, unless you are macho, then it wont be eye catching, cause your body will define the attraction  :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:

Generally, we'll be expecting photos once the 44mm arrives

44 is a great size... but if u treat ure beaters (all my watches) like I do mine you'll need to go to the watchdoctor soon  :Blue: it's sad but atleast we keep a great profession alive  :Laughing_on_floor:
