44mm Pam 111 on small wrist (6.5in)

[Tgz]

Just making this post here for other small wristed folk as there isn’t a ton of content regarding this. Just got my first rep from BK - Pam 111. Bk was really great to work with - very responsive to any questions about the process. My noob 111 is beautiful as expected and with BKs mods I’m confident in the longevity of everything. Back to the real subject here though - I have small 6.5in wrists that are fairly flat and have pulled off some bigger watches in the past, but the Pam is really cutting it close for me. I can rock it, as my upper arms are decently sized and I feel like it offsets my small wrists with a big watch but yet again, cutting it close. I have a gen Black bay Sg, Stowa klassic 40 and Seiko tuna, and the sweet spot for my wrist is def the slim 40mm stowa. I guess I’m just here to say that if you’re wondering if a 44mm is going to work on a 6.5 wrist my answer would be it depends on the rest of your build. I’m 5’11 and about 160lbs shape and I think from a distance the watch works and my wife thinks it looks good on me, but I think if I was a couple inches shorter with same wrist size it might look too big. If you’re at a flat 6.75 I think you’ll take the 44mm perfectly - maybe even pull off a 46mm. Today is a bitter sweet day for me because I got a beautiful new watch, but in the same day realized I’ll never be able to pull off that 46mm carbotech or California dial radiomir I’ve been lusting after - or Big pilot for that matter.

I got the Panatime rubber strap and I’m very happy with it, very soft and comfy and great color. Also Porsche is gen body and frame with a Honda motor. Thinking of switching to gen motor one day.

You think a 44 is bad, try a 52!! Here's a comparison against a 48

You're worried about having puny 6.5" wrists. Wonder how I feel with a 6 1/4" one? :lol:

I only wear up to 47mm PAMs. I don't even think of wearing the larger ones.

I am almost identical in size to you and also have a 6.5” wrist. I wear a 111, a radiomir, and a 47mm Bronzo. I don’t feel like any of them are big.
