Hello

I'm in the market for a dressy leather band, and the only one I really like is the modern buckle. I just ordered the black one in Large from Europe as it's sold out here in the US, but I also want the blue one, and it would cost me way less to buy it here (due to the EUR / USD exchange rate).

However it's only available in Medium and no store close to me has it in stock to try on. My wrist is exactly 160mm, and the medium supposedly fits up to 165mm. That's not a big difference and I'm afraid it might be too small / too tight. But then, it seems they're going to be discontinued soon enough.

Does anyone have this band with a wrist size very close to the band's limit? Do you think the medium would fit me comfortably?

Thanks!

I just got a medium modern buckle. My wrist is 155mm and I have the buckle set one hole from the last. I was in two minds as to which hole to use but I ended up on the tighter one a the band does seem to have loosened slightly over the last few weeks.

My guess is you’d probably be fine. Just know that if you use the final hole you can see the smallest hole on the band while you wear it. Which did annoy me slightly.

Thank you. That does sound a bit annoying but it doesn't justify paying the markup in euros. I ended up ordering it - if it's too small I can return it and I still have enough time to order one in France before my parents arrive and deliver my packages to me :)
