bolido2000 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I just got a PO Chrono 45.5mm with rubber strap and it looks huge on my wrist! The main problem are the large gaps around the caseback. I think the best solution would be to cut my losses and just sell it. Any other suggestions?

vafarmer70 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 How big is your wrist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 What a monster! First thing, you're going to have to tighten the strap. I have a PAM 328 on rubber that sits quite tight. You need a 42mm mate, no question about it. You also look quite young, your wrists will thicken up with age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmindalliance Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hehe, dont bother with the steel then, they wear even bigger with on a bracet. They seem to wear a little smaller on lether though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Try a strap that doesn't have curved ends, so that there's more contact with your wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Can you pull it in another notch on the strap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 You need to sell it on and get the 42mm version. This will fix your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Here is the size difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ya, you could drive a truck through that gap. I'd say the 45mm isn't for your wrist. Try downsizing to the 42mm model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolido2000 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Gaahhh...first rep and this happens! . Watch going to the For sale forum if anyone is interested then. Luckily the Tag Calibre 1 I just ordered is 43mm and should look less retarded on my wrist! btw, I'm 6'1 and weight 180lbs. I didn't think my wrist were so damn skinny.

cobra8272 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Maybe you need some wrist exercises . Masterbate three times a day for 30 days. Maybe thats why i've got thick wrists??? Oh ! and make sure to Use the hand you wear your watch on ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 It's true excercise does increase wrist size significantly. Since I've started working on toning down my wrist size has dropped at least a 1/2 inch. Dont worry OP, the Tag calibre 1 is still big, but wears quite smaller than this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belixxx Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 It's the rubber strap. Just go for the leather one ( that looks like this: http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=6216273 ), don't sell it. You know you want the chrono You can also try the bracelet as it also rounds up tighter than this type of rubber strap. But the leather one wears the smallest.

sempire Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 it looks like the 42mm fits you perfect.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanny Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well chrono is a lot thicker in comparison to ordinary PO, what did you expect? As a big watch, you have to wear it fairly tight for a proper fit. From the pics it looks like you could tighten it quite a lot. Just try it out, might turn out to be OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
