confused69u Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Anyone have pics of their UPO on their 6.5-7' wrists from a distance? I just want to size it up as I felt my 4th gen felt a little small. Much appreciated. Judging by by-tor's pictures on his massive forearms, it looks quite huge especially with the SS bracelet on. Cheers

Cheers I suggest to go to an AD to check it by yourself. This watch is very huge. Some with small wrist find it perfect, other, even with big wrist (by-tor sold his UPO for a 42mm PO) and find it overkill. It's a question of personnal taste not wrist size.
dvn Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 i have a 6.5" wrist and the UPO is out of the question for me. But the 42mm is much better. Here is the gen 42mm PO on my 6.5 wrist:
ryaku Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 It's a gen, it's not fair. Beautiful watch, genuine's in my wish list for sure, 4th gen replica needs too many mods in my opinion.
Raijor Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 I have a 7 inch wrist and find the 45 mm UPO size fine. It is a matter of personal taste. Last year I was comfortable with 36mm Datejusts and now find them small. It is what you get used to.
magagne Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 i have a 6.5" wrist and the UPO is out of the question for me. But the 42mm is much better. Here is the gen 42mm PO on my 6.5 wrist: Ho my God!, the AR on the gen is stronnnnnng. Very nice pic. When I'll buy a PO again (black one this time, I sold my Orange one...tired about "punk" orange ), it will go or sure for a AR treatment.
yellomen Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Mmmm... i still want one, but because they didn't make an ultimate 42mm version i didn't one. Guess i'll wait untill the genuine PO 42mm is at an afforbale price
abat Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 I have small wrists and don't have a problem with my UPO or SFSO. As someone above said it's personal preference and what you feel comfortable with. Here's wrist shot of my UPO, my wrists are somewhere around 6.5.
rckh Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 My Friend, Nothing to worry. I believe no one on board will get a smaller wrist than me 6.12" (15.3mm) ----> King Of the Small Wrist. 45.5mm UPO just fit perfect on my wrist! Best Regards, Raymond
marrickvilleboy Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 woah....that is a tad too big for your wrist.....hate to say it...but your preference.
takashi Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 A better alternative will be to wear this UPO on a pair of rubber straps. It helps to tone done the size, quite a lot. I find this watch on a bracelet to be pretty uncomfortable (heavy).
TeeJay Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 I'd agree with everything said above: Visit an AD to try one on. If you think the 42mm is too small, then you should find the 45mm to be okay. Also, yes, the rubber strap makes the watch much more comfortable than the SS bracelet, which only makes the watch heavy and noticeable against the back of the hand. It's no Panerai ( ) but the Planet Ocean is a fine watch, I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing it
DemonSlayer Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 It is all about getting used to the size of the watch. I wore my PAM 111h for 2 weeks without swapping it and when I put on my Day-Date, it felt so small that I had to actually measure it to make sure it wasn't a woman's size it actually looked like it was because I was used to seeing the Panerai on my wrist.

Best Regards, Raymond I don't want to cause deception (and I hesitate to write this) but I find it little too big for you too...maybe on a strap it will be less pro-eminent. I think for you the 42.5mm will be more "adequate", and more balanced. But again, it's a question of "style", if you want the watch take a huge place on your arm, in a fashion way, it's ok, but it is certainly not balanced like we see on these photos. Again, if you feel ok with a BIG watch on you, and lug to lug don't exceed the width of your wrist, and you can assume it, no problem.
confused69u Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 6 1/3" wrist here. That looks good. Thanks everyone for their pics and it looks like I will be getting a Silix black 45.5mm PO as I already an 4th orange 42mm PO as i've measured my wrist and it is 6.75 inches.

Best Regards, Raymond Raymond, I too have a very very small wrist at slightly smaller than 6", yes, probably the smallest in this board... Here's how a 42mm PO look on my small wrist.
