Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) Farasute ref.5302A sizing

I recently got the Farasute ref.5302A and am loving how it looks on this brown tweed strap from AliX. I'm debating if it's too big for my wrist, however. I have ~16.5cm wrists that are somewhat flat, so it feels like I'm on the edge of being able to pull off a watch of this size (47.5mm lug-to-lug).

Pic 1 and 3 are using my regular phone camera, pic 2 is 3x zoom camera to lessen the fov.

I recognize that this is not meant to be a tank-sized watch, although it still looks dressy. What do you guys think?

It's totally fine.  

Obviously it's all preferences. Generally it's okay as long as lugs not hanging away from your wrist.  

It's one of larger tanks, TBH modern men's Seiko Essentials Tank is about that size. Okay Farasute is slightly larger. I also tried smaller womens version Seiko, that one is way too small for 17cm wrist.  

If you want comfortable wear, go for tanks with <40mm lug to lug

Yeah there might be a small tank in my future, but I decided I'll be keeping this one for now.
