I'm going to play the devil's advocate and say don't be insulted. He said larger, not fat. You admit that you started the conversation by pointing out your large wrist size, so maybe he was continuing in that vein when he made his comment. I, too, have a large wrist, and many bracelets do not fit me. I seldom have to have links removed from watches- added yes. Rings in stores are always too small for me. I share your pain! (And my clothing size is bigger than yours)
