So happy I found this thread! 17cm (6.7") wrist here.

Was wondering if anyone had an IWC Big Pilot on a similar sized wrist?

Edit: Sorry.. I just realised that my wrist size doesn't qualify as a skinny wrist on here.

Why not? I'm 6.75 also! 17 cms .

LMPO on my 16cm wrist

Very nice! Do you have any pic with the full watch? Just to see it lug to lug.

(although the photo from that angle is actually pretty cool, I must say)

Hi guys, am I going crazy or does a normal ROO chronograph 42mm fit better than a ROO diver 42mm? The dimensions seemed similar enough when I put them side by side but the chrono seems to fit my wrist better. FYI these are gens I tried on at the AD.

Unfortunately I think the rep for the chrono has a bunch of flaws, but I do like the Diver alot - I'm just having trouble making a judgment call if this looks too ridiculous on me or not.

Yes, I tried these at an AD too and the chrono does indeed fit better than the diver. It's due to the extra thickness, much like the reason Panerais fit so well despite their big looks.

Sorry for bringing back the dead but I think more pix of a variety of watches on smaller wrists can be helpful. It was for me.

My first rep. PAM 799 47mm x 16mm
I wear it on my right wrist because it is about 6 7/8. My left is 6.5.

My people!
I have 6.75" wrists (around 17cm) and I have had some larger watches. Some that I have been fine with wearing, while others have left me that dread feeling of too large. Which sucks if you really like that particular watch.
Here are some watches I have owned or do own.

glad to see this thread is still alive and well. Too bad I don't see many familiar handles!
