I think lug to lug talk often gets blown out of proportion online. Yes, you don’t want a watch with lugs that overhang your wrist. But past that, I do think dial size (and color) of a watch is still the key to how it appears on the wrist.
I’ve tried on the regular Speedy which everyone says “oh it can fit almost any wrist because of the short lugs!” but at 42mm, the case itself seemingly eats up my whole wrist and still looks big on me, proportionately.
My wrist is somewhat flat so I’ve worn the Mark XX (49mm lug to lug) quite comfortably, but I found 40mm of all dial still looked large on my wrist, imo.
I think this is where the BB58 has nailed it. The lugs are somewhat long (nearly 48mm) but the 39mm case with a bezel makes the dial/case look perfectly proportioned on many wrists.
