Canuck88 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'd like to buy a 111 or a 127, however my wrists are only 7.25" (max). I like the old school look of the 127 better than the 111 (at least from the pics I've seen) and I"m worried that a 1950 might look way too huge on me... Can anyone post some wrist shots of these models for me (or point me in the right direction)? My daily beater is a sub rep and I'm pretty comfortable with that size but willing to go slightly larger. Also, would the fit and finish of the 111 and 127 be considered comparable? Are either of them from any vendors actually water resistant?? Cheers!

XRT Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I made a reference post for you on this. My wrists are even smaller than yours. It is completely a matter of preference. I happen to love the 127 so much that I don't care that it looks like a clock on my wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 i don't have the 111 and don't have the 127... but on my wishlist...the 127 is the first in order to fulfill my collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Start with 111. 127 is really big. My wrist is closer to 7.50 inches and I don't consider it a workday watch. I love wearing the 47mm. Even picked up the 187 having worn the 1950 for a while. The 47mm look huge, feel huge and you will love it. But don't try fitting it under a shirt sleeve. The move from Rolex to 44mm will be noticeable on your wrist. From rolex to 47mm is very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealphabeta Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Buy both No...sorry, on a serious note: I had the 111 which i sold to my dad, then i bought the 127 with the proceeds. The 111 looks quite big anyway i think yet it is a lovely watch. The 127 looks VERY big, not sure on my wrist size but it looks big, see pic. Everyone at work says, whoah thats a big watch, but they all love it. I prefer now to wear my seamaster under my shirt, and not sticking out So go for the 127 in my opinion but if your really unsure stick to the smaller 111 they're both gorgeous!

cabbage Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 i feel that every man needs: - pam 063 - pam 183 - pam 127 the bases are enough covered with these three :-) maybe add a 196 or a 192 to the list, to make sure your covered... insurance purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
