Fit on 6–7 in wrists (6.5 in reference)
Fit: Moderate risk on a 6.5 in wrist. Based on Farer’s 43.8 mm lug-to-lug.
- 6 in wrist: Moderate risk
- 6.5 in wrist: Moderate risk
- 7 in wrist: Low risk
With Fratello’s 45 mm (third-party), the 6 in result would be High risk; 6.5 and 7 in stay the same. At 11.5 mm thick, it is under the 13 mm point where we raise the risk a level.
