It helps everyone to better understand the diameter/thickness correlation when deciding on which other watches to consider for skinny wrists 6.5" and under.

Post your pics with the following;

  1. Brand/Model
  2. Diameter/Thickness
  3. Your wrist size

Add any other info you want to share.

If you want good advice; don't get it. I bought a gen XS strap for it and really tried to love it. It just feels too big for 6". After a while you just wear your other watches more because they feel more comfortable. If you don't mind losing a few bucks via m2m you can try it. I just don't recommend it.

Well I love mine I have it on a Gen XS and it fits perfect. I have a pretty flat wrist which helps. I wear mine usually on the weekend and love it. I wear a PAM 177 during the week and it fits great as well at 44mm.

Cheers.

40mm Milgauss on 6" wrist today. Actually looks a little bigger on the wrist in this photo than it does in real life somehow... Hopefully the postal service will get its shit together and I'll be posting a new black bay by the end of the week.

You are lucky you have flat wrist, mine is bony wrist, and it sucks BIG time wearing diver s/s. It hurts!!

I'd second this, unless you're going to purchase a gen short strap. Personally, I didn't want to drop the coin on a gen strap so I moved on but it's a must if you have a small wrist.

3777-04 on 6.4" wrist today. I have the micro adjustment set tight to bring the watch flat and high on the top of the wrist today. Here are a few quick pics to show the size of this 43mm diameter and 15mm thickness.

Here is my Black Bay as promised. Again this is a 6" wrist and I think the BB is listed at 40mm. It sits well and that is with every link out.

44.5mm Hublot Ice Bang on my ~6.5" wrist. Wondering if I should go for the 45mm Ti CrPO next... hmm...

I have relatively small wrists, smaller than 97% of my friends - 6.3" with a GMT, all links removed :lol:
40mm I believe



Same wrist with a Bulova Precisionist, I think around 45.5mm...


Now the question lies... Do you think I can pull of a 45.5mm PO Skyfall with leather/bracelet...? Your input would be grateful!

Whooo! Go skinny wrists!

That GMT looks perfect on you!
I have 6.3~6.4 inch wrist, flat like yours too. I wouldn't go for 45.5 PO as it fits wider, and it goes larger than the wrist width itself...

Will a leather strap help because it can go straight down from the lugs? Or is it a lost cause?
