My good friend let me borrow his IWC Pilot’s “Le Petit Prince” Chronograph
This is on my 6.25in wrist and the watch is a 43mm case with a lug to lug of 53mm (according to Google). Granted it is big, lugs overhang just a tad over the wrist but man it’s a beautiful piece. Great lume, very legible, and pushers feels solid.

Yes sir. I am a southpaw. 😃
@AllTheWatches maybe not all hope is lost?
If you like how it looks and feels then respectfully it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I’d say it’s big but not overly and it’s a brilliant watch
A purely personal perspective: I had one of these wonderful 43 mm IWC Pilot chronographs, and I liked it a lot. But I finally sold it because it was too big for my 6.75” wrist. It’s 15 mm thick, didn’t fit under cuffs, and it bumped into things as I used my hands.
And to be honest, I really don’t need a chronograph.

It’s been 3 days since he let me borrow it and I’ve been wearing it nonstop. I do agree it is a big boy and quite a weight to it. Personally I wouldn’t purchase one for myself just because of its size but I do like it a lot. I know IWC has the 41mm model which I will be quite interested in. It would probably be another story if I had a 7 in wrist otherwise it’s a fantastic timepiece. I do use the chronograph feature often so it comes in handy for me.

Agreed my friend.
