I am waiting on an Ebel watch. This is my 3rd attempt to purchase a watch -- the first two did not work out. One was uncomfortable and the other was USED

and went right back. I can't buy in person because I live in the middle of nowhere...

The company I am purchasing from told me that the watch will fit a 7" wrist. I have a 7.25" wrist. The info on the website says it is a 7" bracelet for the watch.

If it is indeed a 7" bracelet and the watch itself is over an inch -- then it should fit. But, if it's 7" total -- I'm worried.

I've never ordered a watch that didn't need links removed...

Does anybody else have an Ebel? Do they "run small" in your opinion?

This is the one I am waiting on (two-tone 1911 style):

If it says 7" bracelet, it should just be the measurement of the bracelet. The watch face should not be counted in that measurement.

^^ That's what I'm hoping to verify with an Ebel watch... the first watch I ordered (different name) also had these measurements -- but really DID only fit a 7" wrist -- even though it said 7" bracelet.

For an extra $350, they would've sent me two more links... but the watch was uncomfortable anyway.

I am currently wearing a 1911 mid size with two tone and mop face and roman numerals. My wrist measurement is 6 3/4" and I had 1 extra link added as I like my watches "bracelet" style. Measured with a tape around the inner circumference it is exactly 7 1/16"

Hope this is some help

If you're ordering watches online, try calling customer service to verify whether the watch would fit your wrist.
