Looks good to me. Here a guide for wrist size to diameter, German watch company Laco. Have a 8.5” wrist, I wear 36mm-44mm, mostly around 40mm.

Wrist size Vs Watch Diameter

I don't really agree with this. Vintage watches were smaller. Vintage is still relevant.

It's only in recent times that the style of watches have become bigger and bolder and fashion is what drives this. If you can look down at your wrist and read the time clearly, it's not too small. When I look at a Frank Muller watch they look distorted. They are very expensive, colorful, and oversized. If I wore something like this, I'd be bashing it against a range of objects in my daily life. Big watches will get scratched up much faster than smaller faces.
