H. Moser Pioneer - is it too big at 42.8mm?

Considering this as my next piece - usually I stick to 40mm and under, and was wondering if this watch is actually a bit too big, or my perception just skewed by always wearing smaller pieces. For reference my wrist is 7.5, and it’s me wearing it in the photo.

Not at all. The lug to lug is rather short. Looks great on your wrist.

·

Looks like a perfect fit.

·

Looks good from here!

·

It is not too big. It is not too small.

·

Nope. Just fine. 👍

·

Looks good

·

It looks great in your wrist

·

It's a perfect fit, without a doubt! 👌

·

Looks amazing

·

Looks like a great size for your wrist

Love the depth in that darkblue dial. And with those short lugs it fits you fine 👍🏻

·

Not at all, a beautiful watch!

Yeah I think so too. Agreed on the dial:) I should’ve also taken a picture of the caseback - that movement is beautiful

I love Moser & Cie & have been for quite some time looking for the right watch on the grey market. My problem with them is that I feel that most of them are a bit on the big side. A 39mm or 40mm would be my preference.

·

Looks good from here. Pioneer now also comes in 40mm

No it's lovely, gives the dial space to have those big markers. Love it

·

Nah mate. That's a good size. (That's what she said)...

·

Looks good mate!

·

Not too big at all.

·

Looks great!!

·

I think it looks fine. It is right on the cusp but not over it.

·

It does look great; but I have to say yes, it is too large.

A chronograph or flieger or diver would probably be good at that diameter but a dressier style such as that Moser has such a large dial it looks disproportionately large to me. Even though it may technically fit your wrist.

For a dress watch with a narrow bezel and relatively large dial, I say stick to 40mm or maybe even 39mm.

Looks good on you my friend 👌

·

Looks perfect! 😉 I found an episode of George Bamfords podcast some time ago where Andrew McUtchen was guest. It is 40 min on all the great details of the Pioneer: https://www.bamfordwatchdepartment.com/?p=10444

Not at all - it looks great. I love your taste and, honestly, am a little jealous. Congratulations and please post pics when you get it.

·

For your wrist size I believe it is works, but my wrist is 7" and I tried one on and it did not look good -- too big. I wish they would make them in a 40. With the narrow bezel it makes the watch look larger than it really is. Beautiful watch though - that is for sure!

·

Fits bigger bc no bezel.

·

Looks great. Perfect fit I'd say.

·

Perfect fit!

For the price I'm not a fan. Without the price tag got to love moser
