Skinny Wrist Club thread


Cromag

Recommended Posts

I was with a buddy getting his new 42mm Omega Planet Ocean sized at my local jeweler. His wrists are just a tiny bit smaller than my 6.5" wrist. It almost didn't fit because we ran out of links to remove! It fits bit loose on his wrist but he likes it that way, and I think it looks good a little loose. I heard that 7" (17.75cm) is about average wrist size for a man.

In an effort to help our community I think we should have a Skinny Wrist Club thread, where we post ongoing wristshots of our watches on our skinny wrists. This data can help our skinny purchasing decisions. Show us your old models and newest models. Sure you can post a large PAM, or DSSD, on a 6.25" wrist. That would be great to see! It may not be acceptable to some, but others may find it just right.

Here is the criteria I would like to try to follow;

Let's see wrist shots of watches if your wrists are 6.5" (16.5cm) or less.

Please post your pics with the following;

  1. Brand/Model

  2. Diameter/Thickness

  3. Your wrist size (daily wrist sizes change slightly so try to measure for the picture you post)

Add any other info you want to share.

Cheers!

I will beat everybody. I have woman wrists. Not sure the exact size but it's under 6 1/2.

WM9 LV Sub, WM9 YM, PAM 048, PAM 111, Breitling Bentley, Breitling SFSO.

All I have left are my WM9 LV Sub and my MBK PAM 048. I may pick up one or two more watches but I'm kinda all set.

"Any Navitimers in here?  I have a 6.5" wrist and have been comtemplating ordering one."

 

You should have no problem 42mm X14.5 not a daunting size by any means. That may be one on mLuMaN83 wrist (hard to tell)above your post in his last pic reach out to him, he is in your wrist size zone.

i have 6-6.2inch wrists, skinniest ever skinner than many girls. even 40mm looks large on me. proper sucks. :angry2:

 

but i think there are some nice ones i can pull off without looking overly ridiculous :)  (plus they all appear bigger in pics, smaller in real life)
