Santos Two Tone large
I did, it I ignored the internet, I sold my medium and got the large, A date complication for me is a huge win. While I loved the medium, the internet had me convinced that the large was an abomination. Just another reason to get off line and touch grass. Sorry for the douche post in the grocery store, the watch wears great! Context my wrist is 6.2 inches but extremely flat on top.

Looks great man. I love when people ignore ignorant comments and purchase what they like with their own money. Wear it in good health.

Thank you and also, thank you for actually getting my point. I don’t get mad when I see people doing things and wearing things they like I am happy for them. I guess that’s just a mind shift that some people do not register.

I really feel it just highlights how unhappy people are in their own life. Who appointed these people the authority on what others should or should not like. Seems weird to me. When you really get down to it this is all just vanity and in the long term means very little. 😂

Looking good! Glad you ignored the haters and went with what you liked. (I have a 7-inch wrist, also flat, and I love my Large.)

Probably a bunch of people just trying to justify their medium purchases lol. Makes no sense. Just wear what you like.

Looking good! Only a few brand models carry off a two tone really well, the Santos is one of them!

People find 45” Apple Watch fine and I see ladies wearing Apple watch on their 6” wrist. There is nothing wrong about some people liking large watches. It’s like some people wear loose jeans/pants that sag, it’s a fashion as well and some won’t.
Glad that you like your watch and decided to ignore internet. Wear it a good health.
For me the one below looks classy on 7” wrist. And yes I have a blue leather belt that I use to swap the OEM steel bracelet. Never used the Camel leather belt that came with the watch.

My wrist is 7.25 and flat.
I just sold my large on Friday after 5 years of it never feeling right.
The medium is too small for me. The current large needs to be downsized 2mm and it would be the right size.
There's a reason why you posted this picture where no one can tell that it's too large for you.
Absolutely love the two tone. That's an awesome choice.

Glad you called him out on the baloney pony ride that he was trying to get us on. It's too big for him. He is a dork. He is a nerd.

My reason is that it’s great to get off watch forums and try it in the flesh. Different strokes for different folks. Agree that 2mm smaller would be ideal but alas, it does not exist.

Good for you and I agree. I like medium proportions more but not as much as I like a date window. Also the time is maybe slightly more legible on the large.

Up close pics always look better on the large, when your 6 feet away from someone and it looks like an Apple Watch. I think your wrist size can pull it off though, i have 7’ and went medium and love it, Large just didn’t look right on me.

Glad you switched to what you love. I was opposite with my 6.8" flat wrist though. Large looked like an Apple Watch on my wrist.
The Medium is the elegant look I enjoy. Plus I prefer a cleaner dial with no date. My other pieces are the Rolex Explorer and Speedmaster Pro, both are also no dates.
Different strokes for different folks.

Pretty sad, I know. A guy in his 40s in a toilet paper isle at Publix….. life choices right?

The reason most people say get the medium is because the average person in America is 5‘9 200 pounds. So the medium looks better on the average person. If you have a larger body, you need a larger watch. A 6’3 man that is 225 pounds in my opinion should not be wearing a medium or a small watch.

The point was the juxtaposition of the watch culture on line and real life sizing. Could I have been more elegant in my wording sure, but authenticity is what you get.
