[Size check] Is this watch too big for me? (alien.top)

I have 6.25in/16cm wrists, so pretty small wrists. But I really like this watch, would I be able to pull it off or would it look ridiculous on me? The lug-to-lug is 50mm, and the diameter is 43mm. I’m ok with the diameter, not sure about the lug-to-lug.

Would also appreciate some insight from people with similar sized wrists.

This is a clear-cut situation, it's going to look ridiculously big.

BUT there's a way... The watch you like is a pilot style watch and it was originally designed to be worn over the pilots jacket sleeve. With the right jacket you just might be able to pull it off.

I don’t think I’d wear it that way tbh. Guess I won’t be buying this. Sad cuz I can’t find any other brand making watches that look like these

Does the original Laco Flieger-B Pilot 39mm tickle your fancy? You can print a mockup to place on your wrist with their size guide. According to their table a 38mm - 41mm should fit your 16cm wrist.
