May I suggest you get an inexpensive Asian movement.. just to see if your comfortable with the 44mm size.. and if you enjoy it.. the rest will be as we say ... history.. cause even though you see pics.. there is nothing like the experience itself..

Melu... I've seen gen 127's and submersibles on very narrow wrist and they look great.. it's the "oversize"
it's all how you pull it off and 'feel' wearing one that is the difference maker.
Like anything else.. if you keep telling yourself it looks strange.. then it will "feel" very strange on your wrist and the enjoyment will be minimized..so it's really how you feel about it.. cause IMO.. they look great on any wrist..
but since your the one wearing it.. it may take time to get over being self conscious.
And there's really no need to be.. imo watches are not like shoes.. it doesn't have to be a perfect fit..

I was thinking of cutting back my reps..
edit add.. sorry.. swore I posted this up
I always give the lume a couple of days out of the box.. before I can expect it to light up.. my Milgauss Ultimate is very good as far as glow, none of the blue lume weather genuine or rep is as bright as SL or lasts as long.. fyi
You can contact Ziggy or Vac via PM .. Zig is on Vacation if I'm not mistaken..but all roads lead to the Zigmeister.. and Vac is the other Modder/Horologist on RWG ..they do it to perfection a lot of watchsmith's lume.. only a very few do it right..
D4 is over on RWI~.. the dealers here with comparable pricing would be watch international.. she will send you a pic of the wastch she picks out for you and only then (if satisfied) she will ship it out.. worth a PM to WatchInternational
