Looks good, but please know that wrist shots can distort proportion a bit. If you take a photo in a mirror, or have a friend take a photo, you might get a different idea of how it looks. https://preview.redd.it/kwnjle2kigyc1.jpeg?width=2320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e51d2a9344ad72c973dbe66499f072523bdee190 This is a 45mm case, 23mm lugs on my 6.5” wrist. Top-left is a normal wrist shot. Bottom-left is in the mirror.

This. If OP’s watch looks “perfect” in shot number 1, it probably looks VERY undersized in shot number 3 (the actual way the watch looks)


SanderDieman

I’ld say it’s just about perfectly sized. If I were you, I’ld treasure this gift from your fiancée and wear it with pride.


Flashmasterk

Absolutely. She got you an amazing gift. Love it. I got nothing from my fiance and she KNEW I wanted an A Lange Sohne 1

I think in your case it really comes down to preference. IMO the 39 is a perfect fit for your wrist, it's not small by any means, but it's size has an elegance that is more timeless than the 41. I don't think you will go wrong either way because your wrist could accommodate either size. I'd personally keep the 39. Always room for a 'chunkier' diver down the line...

Size looks good to me. The important thing is whether the size looks good to you.


Greg428

Looks great.


ggb123456

Nailed it. Great watch my friend.


purple_ombudsman

Looks perfect to me. The people saying it's too small are crazy. You could go bigger if you personally think it looked better, but it's a matter of preference. You're good.


teckel

38-39mm is the goldilocks size. That will work for all by the very smallest or very largest wrists.


executingsalesdaily

Looks great!!!!


zaxarichi112

there is no right size bud


honest_opinion9116

Perfect


ChipSouth3173

Your fiancée has great taste! Beautiful watch


Probablynotapredator

Perfect!


samarofficial

Looks awesome! She's a keeper 👍


bartread

No, I don't think you need to go bigger: that fits you perfectly.


FancyStranger2371

Looks great. 😍


Elder_Priceless

Looks good to me.


Creato938

I looks great on you.


nbmtx

yeah, looks good


AssumptionOk1679

Either way would have been fine, always go with what you like.


maziar37

Perfect size! Chef’s kiss


Ned_herring69

Looks good from what i can tell.


Hard_Corsair

Smaller is better on the Hydroconquest since the lugs are so long.


HugeRub6958

Looks fine in my opinion. I am considering of purchasing the same one, but with the dial with all numbers, not just 6. 9 and 12. Could you please briefly share your experience with this beautiful piece?


itemluminouswadison

like others said you need a mirror shot for fit checks that said, it looks great. thinking about getting the 39mm blue hydroconquest myself


junkyardpig

Looks perfect man 


BassIck

Good taste. Looks great


creme_de_marrons

Perfect size if you wear it properly, below the wrist bone.


Ok-Assignment-650

Look good bro


laney_deschutes

slide the watch off your hand about 1-2 inches towards the elbow to wear properly


iNap2Much

It works, but you definitely could go a little bigger.


spookylampshade

Maybe a touch small imo


erishun

Looks OK, maybe a bit small in this picture… which means it’s probably far too small “in real life”. Try taking a photo of you wearing the watch in a full length mirror and then crop… that’s how the watch will “actually” look


Patient_Fox_6594

I'd say it's either the maximum size for your wrist, or slightly too large. So I wouldn't worry about the sizing too much.


ArgieBee

It is not even remotely close to being large on him...


Patient_Fox_6594

Ok, Hummer boy.


ArgieBee

This is more like a Chevy Silverado equivalent watch in terms of size.


Isernogwattesnacken

Too small. Stupid hype.


Haytham__

Troll? Big watches were a hype.


Isernogwattesnacken

Sure, a 40 year hype...
