I'm sporting a 6.75 incher and recently acquired my first two reps: a Rolex DSSD (43mm I think?) and a Submariner 16610 (40mm). Here are some action shots. I put the sub on a NATO that came with a Timex Weekender.

Nice to know you're sporting a 6.75 incher, but maybe that's too much info....


Nice watches, though.

In general, what are some watches that "wear small"? It's all personal taste, but a lot of these watches look like something Flavor Flav would wear.

40mm Rolex Submariner, a lot thinner compared to the Deep Sea Dweller.
42mm Omegas aren't too bad either.

Panerais don't look right unless they are 44mm but then gets on the bigger size.

Funny how the people with the skinniest wrists seem to wear the biggest watches.

Anything bigger than a seiko 5 looks oversized on me and I have the same sized wrist as some of you. How the hell are you guys pulling off 45mm??

LIKE A BOSS! Lol, jokes aside it really depends on the case build. A 44mm Pam wears similar to a 40mm ceramic sub for example.

This is a 42mm ROO:

On my 6-6.25" (depends on climate) wrist

Wow, that looks pretty good. I have 6" wrists and i couldn't pull off the diver, and i have fairly flat wrists. How is the lug overhang on yours?

Cartier Santos 100 XL Ultimate (38.5mm) vs 6.25". Evidently exercising the wrist regularly doesn't make it any bigger!

Same as DongHo in the previous post: Cartier Santos 100 38.5 mm vs 6.25" wrist. I love this watch, by the way.
