The lugs of your watch are contained by your wrist, they do not overhang, so yes, it works.
Its totally - 100% - that simple.
Now that the exciting title has ensnared you, you need to be aware of the following before you decide to read further:
1. This post has Rotary Chavitimer content
2. This post features a look-at-me-all-casual-and-cool-with-my-hand-in-my-pocket shot (just for size observation purposes of course)
Ok, still here?
Well, it's very simple really...pictures of a 43mm (without crown) on a 6.75" wrist. What do you think....too much??

Looks fine to me. Stop worrying and enjoy. :)
Looks good. Fits you fine too.
Absolutely fine, bordering on spot on to be honest.

Yep, looks fine to me.
If six or more people on the bounce say its ok, then it's OK!
A cracking fit.
Spot on! I have same size wrists, can wear 44-47mm......but 43mm is the sweetspot
Same size wrists here and I would say that fits a treat. Problem is when you go back to 40mm or less they look too small!
I would have thought not looking at the thread title. But after seeing the pictures I think it looks good. Just enjoy it.
Looks great to me. I too thought it was gonna look silly, but it doesn't at all.
What's the lug to lug length on the watch? I find that is a far better indicator as to what fits me than just diameter.
Nothing wrong with the diameter, but the strap and lugs combined look wide on that watch which makes the whole thing look bulky, but the size is fine (unless you don't think so, in which case you decide)

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
It's 50mm lug to lug, probably the max I can stretch to.
I've got the same size wrist and that's my self-imposed max. I think the consensus is that you've got no worries here.
I think it looks fine. Doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks though. If you like it, roll with it.
As everyone else has said. Looks good.
I have similarly sized wrists so I'm pleased to see that it is possible to wear something that size - looks good.
50mm lug-lug is about as far as I can go too.
for this style and type of watch . Enjoy
This is the guideline I've always followed. I like to leave little leeway though, I have pretty small wrists (about 7 inches) and usually go for max 40-42mm watches.
