Is a 38mm Colt to small for my 7.5 inch wrist?

[alexpaf]

Hi guys! I recently fell in love with the old model of the breitling colt (it can be the chronoocean - a53050 - or the other cronographs like that).

Ive seen it in person before, looks good, it has sort of an "old/vintage" vibe (not that old, but and it is not shiny and pointy like the newer models of the colt (which i like, but i think that are not good value for money -gen). And it is relatively cheap for a gen, even though it has a quartz movement.

Moving on: my wrist is 19,5cm/a little over 7.5 inches. How do you feel about 38mm watches, such as this breitling(38mm/lug to lug 44mm/lugs width 18mm), for a wrist this size? Does anyone have experience with similar models? I know watch size is a personal matter, but who knows, perhaps you can enlighten me with your thoughts!

Thanks for the help!

Take a look at this post for some ideas

My wrist is 6.75". I prefer a 44mm watch. I have many 42mm. I think a 38mm is just too small for me. Having two Super Avengers at 48mm I am probably not a good source for size.

That’s your call. I’ve got big and small watches and wear them all.

I like bigger models as well. But 38mm is
quite a normal size. So it’s al about what you like.
I won’t look funny if that’s what you’re worried about.

38 mm is small... modern watches needs to be bigger - in my opinion

Since the bezel is not in same color as the dial the watch appears to be smaller than a watch with bezel+dial in same color. So I think this watch will be too small on your wrist
