Best dress watches for a 6.25-inch wrist

A 6.25" wrist is about 49.2 mm across, so a dress watch fits it best up to 45.2 mm lug-to-lug. 11 we've measured do, from the Grand Seiko Heritage 9F Quartz 37mm at 44.6 mm down to the Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Large (automatic) at 38.1 mm. Largest first, so you see the most wrist presence that still fits.
