Skinny wrists, What Rolex?

[jlw82]

Searching for a rep Rolex in the 100-120 dollar range.

I have veeery skinny arms. Think female supermodel anorexia look. But Im a male. What rolex will fit my wrist? The smaller the better.

The original Rolex Explorer I would be great. I believe it's about 36mm & it's a great looking rep too.

Vintage rolex 5512/13 or a more dressy datejust.

You'll be perfect with a Datejust.

 

[mickeypro]

i have 6.5 an a 40mm sub works

 

[jlw82]

what is the best Datejust?

 

[sgv]

A gen...

 

[jlw82]

best rep.

Explorer 1 is perfect. 36mm, light weight, simple and understated, and you literally won't even know you you have it on. Plus it's an outstanding rep.

Pretty soon you'll graduate to wearing something a little larger. The 40mm Rolex Explorer II is perfect. It's thinner than the subs and still has the same overall elegant, sporty, and refined look of the Explorer 1.

I'm not sure if Josh still sells this, but my first rep was his $108 Explorer 1 rep with a fast beat 21j. It has the same sweep as the gen at 28,800bph. The only downside is the crown is a little too large with the cheap version. The ETA is spot on.

Good luck!

It's all relative but I think you could really pull off just about any Rolex other than the 42 mm Explorers.

 

[jlw82]

who sells *cheap* Datejust and explorers for around 100 bucks that ships to EU?

Very new to this rep thing. I normally just get gen. And no, I have never owned a expensive gen watch.

36 mm datejust. Or 34mm airking if it exist. Check on wbk

You could also look at 34mm Tudors and even the mid-size case that is about 31mm.

 

[gw4k]

Or use Nato Straps on "regular" 40mm Rolexes.

Try lifting weights and bulk up a bit.

 

[jlw82]

Trust me, I have been trying to gain some body mass. I have had the same weight since 97.

Yeah.... not a problem I can relate to.

Rolex are very small by today's standards. Most women's watches today are 34-40mm, so a 38mm DJ1 or even a 40mm Sub should be fine.

But consider that you are in a unique position to actually be able to wear some vintage gen watches. Check out eBay for watches made in the '40s through '60s. These watches were all very small by today's standards. Some are very cool looking and have a history. And many can be purchased around the same price as a rep.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you please point me out to some vintage Gen rolex on ebay? Been looking, but I only find very, very expensive once.

Are there any rep that look like this one? Really like this one.

The first watch that came up is a brand new 2012 model ... I don't think it's been repped yet. Any 36mm would look good sizewise, though .... Just pick one out you like!:maty:

rolex are tiny compared to ap or hublot. i would say go with a dj. subs unless modded are the easiest tells.
