Hey guys, I am currently in love witht he Seiko ALpinist SPB121J1 but it is WAY too small for my wrist at only 39.5mm I need something more like 41mm+ and really want something that looks similar to the alpinist(dress watch)- preferably with a deploymant strap but fine if it doesnt have one any siuggestions welcom! :)

EDIT: a buidget of 700USD

8"? Dang. Try their gmt alpinist. Same dimensions but somehow it visuallt looks larger(ish).

Have you actually tried it on? Its almost certainly not "too small" for your wrist. Especially as dress watches are traditionally smaller. There are also bracelets from Strapcode with male endlinks for the Alpinist that will make the watch wear a bit larger.

Alternatively, Hamilton has a wide variety of field watches that may be what you're looking for.

Consider the bund watch band. That would make it look larger and is very traditional for a climbing watch.
