cougaree Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Guys, I like big watches and I can wear up to 48mm. That I know. But, my brother has much smaller wrist. When he asks me for suggestion, I don't have much suggestions to give him. These are his specs. I think he can wear no bigger than a 42mm. 1. Rep or gen, can't be more than $500 2. Automatic movement / prefer Swiss but don't have to be if the price is right. 3. Looks good with dress shirts. It to give more academic feel to it. (he is a math person) 4. Sapphire crystal with really good AR coating. 5. No Rolex. 6. No preferences on bracelet or strap. 7. Prefer stick or dot markers on the dial over numerals. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
cougaree Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 I had my bro tried on my PO 45. It's pretty big. The 42mm maybe. Does it have the same height as the 45?

tomhorn Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Doesn't meet all the requirements, but you can't go wrong with a 3717. on my 6.75" wrist Edited June 17, 2011 by tomhorn

jmb Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 You say no Rollex so maybe a 34mm Tudor? It would fit a smaller wrist perfectly... I guess I would have what is maybe considered a "normal" wrist in that all tghe reps I've bought fit perfectly with no adjusting.
DuDro Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 I'd stick with 40mm and smaller cases... DateJust II Submariner Yacht-Master Explorer II or GMT II Tag Carrera ...there's lots to choose from...
dandonnelly Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 I have a 6.5 wrist and I wear whatever I want, I am currently wearing a 111h and I sport a carrera calibre 17
sempire Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 It's all about it looking good. Just because you can put it on, doesn't make it look good.
Applewush Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 These 2 are my favourite dressier daily-wear watches: Cartier Ballon Bleu VC Overseas Automatic If he wants something even fancier, how about a JLC Reverso?
