[Citizen] [Rookie mistake first purchase] Hilariously oversized watch & first buy mistake? (alien.top)

Hello folks,

Decided to post this maybe as an illuminating example of foolishness that warrants its own post.

As a part of my style upgrade I ordered a watch online to collect, but forgot that I have baby-sized wrists and that this is indeed something that should definitely be tested physically. The staff at the store adjusted the links for me but only afterward told me that adjusting the size/links renders the 30 day open purchase null and void.

Is this hilariously oversized for me? Am I better off selling it? I'm leaning towards it. Or trying with Bambi eyes if I can exchange it to something that actually fits my 17cm (by the wrist bone) wrist.

This angle will make it look a lot bigger. Take a picture of yourself wearing it in the mirror to show yourself how others actually see it on your wrist. It’s not as big you think.

Also a strap that isn’t metal will make it look smaller too, you can buy straps $20-30 online, most come with the tool to swap them, it’s easy enough for you to do yourself with no experience.
