does anyone know how a rolex yachmaster II 42mm would look on a 6.5 wrist. Does anyone personally own one. Thank you!

It's often lug to lug length which makes a watch too big for a smallish wrist. I have a 6.75" wrist and some of the vintage Pam cases are simply too long. When lugs are comfortably longer than your wrist, you are in danger of looking stupid imo.

Guys... you should seriously reconsider wearing anything bigger, than 40mm.
Don't take it as offense, but 44mm watches looks, like a frying pans on small wrists. On the bright note - you're lucky, you can wear Subs, Milgausses, Daytonas, etc...

Who's got the best sub? lol jk

I dunno why but my wrist was fat before! I wish my belly fat went off instead. :lol2:
Saving up for a 42 PO. Hopefully, the LMPO is next. :D:

Agree. Just...stop.

7.0" here, which should be considered a minimum to even attempt a 44mm PAM. Meanwhile some of you 6.5" and below guys are sporting 47mm...:facepalm:

Even at 7", anything above 44mm is a no-no, that's the limit.

Is there a Fat Wrist Club?

Yes, and his name is BMW760! j/k :cheers:

Here is a PAM 104 rep on my 7" for reference:

It definitely still looks big on 7" wrist but it looks better, I guess. But what can we do? PAMs look great and almost all of the best looking pams have huge dials. If only there is a 029 or 111 or 243 in 40mm. Lol

your 44mm pam on 7 looks the same as a 44mm pam on my 6.5.. its all about wrist shape. you probably have a very round wrist

You have a point however,
the entire purpose of this thread is larger watches on skinny wrists. Some look good... others not so much. Case size isn't the only factor though, which should be considered. Lug length and shape play a role. Also the type of band can also make or break the appearance of a watch. I think that's why thick bands look so good on PAMs.

I'll be posting some pics soon, hopefully sooner than later
