Thanks Sweden!!
Here are few shots in context.
So you can see that even with 6" you can pull off quite decent range.
genuine omega 37.5mm from 2001
Patek 40mm
JLC 42mm
Panerai 44mm, this one is my custom build grail 52/202a.
Hope that helps with making purchase decisions!!

It's really just an illusion, JLC is still slightly smaller, but it does not feel like 2mm difference. Also PVD Panerai wears smaller then SS version. Due to dark color.
I would highly recommend JLC, it's very light and comfortable, especially with a nice leather strap. I got a carbon with red stitches for it.

Panerai 390
The jlc is the max size for you mate. I don't mean to offend you but as soon as the lugs exceed your wrist it looks funny.
nice watches though.
Yeah you are right, but I have been wearing Panerai since 2002. Got used to them.
JLC is my favorite in general.

My friend they are all epic watches! Personally I think that even though we must remove a lot of links we shall wear what we like! I'm loving that patek! Great pieces
personally I love the feel of my GMT2c it just feels right (when tshirt and trousers) but when you need a little more power for the wrist when wearing more clothes (in UK, all the time!) I go for my Skyland, 45mm... Love this thread!

Very cool. I only wish we had some choices when it comes to Rubber straps in XS sizes. Only AP makes them. I ended up getting one that will go on the Carbon Offshore Diver. It's getting a brand new 2824 movement installed. When it comes back. I'll post a pic.

AP FC V3 Diver on a 6.5" wrist, just a tad bit loose for me on the first hole, looking for a XS strap

Looks great, thought that we, small wrist owners, can't handle an AP Diver.

Thank you, I would say the if your wrist is under 6.6", you will definitely need a XS strap. I prefer to wear my watches on the tighter side, but it would work on a 6.5" wrist if you prefer a looser fit on the rep strap. It definitely wears larger than a 44mm Luminor PAM or a 45mm Rad. The lug to lug length is a lot bigger than a typical 42mm watch. To me, I feel like this wears slightly bigger than the 47mm PAM372.
Thanks. Then, it's not for me now. Maybe I'll try Gen someday, we actually have no AD's in Belarus, so...

On page 53 you can see my shots with Genuine XS Strap, SS model. I have Carbon as well.
Here is a note in regards to Offshore pieces: I have found SS model not comfortable and too heavy. It was really bothering me. With XS strap, on the last hole it was too tight and the next hole down it was too loose, and the watch is way too heavy to be too loose. The SS was bothering me so much I ended up selling it.
Now, Carbon nice and light, works really well on a small wrist. I can comfortably wear it on a XS STRAP on a second hole which will be nice and loose enough for 6" and probably snug on 6.3 - 6.5. The last hole would even work for someone with 5.8" I think. XS strap is also great for someone with 7" or even bigger.
XS Straps also went up in price. I got mine few weeks ago, which was also a last one that AP parts center had, but it is definitely worth getting.

105x70 that's the only OEM rubber strap I know of. Much cheaper then $250 AP XS.
