I've almost the same size wrists as yours and i'd say 44mm Pams fit decently on my wrists. Somehow able to pull off 44mm ROOs too. I guess it depends on whether you have flat wrists or not though.
I must have the smallest wrists ever, I just measured mine at 5.8". So i'm guessing my only options are 40mm or less which I've been researching for a while now but can't find many quality ones other than the rolex seadweller. Anyone else have wrists smaller than 6" and have a recommendation on a good rep?

I'd love to see pics, i currently have a 42mm Citizen Nighthawk and it seems too big which is why I'm looking for another daily driver now.. I think a 44mm would be way too big on my sub 6" wrist..

Look at some of my pics here. I have the same wrist size as you (mine is 5.7). As of now, I know almost all rolex (except for dssd) are good on my wrist. 41mm AP 15400 is a good fit for classy dressing. 42mm 2014 AP séries are all very good (especially for semi formal or even informal dressing). 42mm AP SS Diver does not look OK on my wrist. Almost all 44mm Panerai are also OK.

Btw to be more specific, all rolex 16610, 116610, batman, Pepsi etc (modern) are OK on my wrist. Have not tried vintages yet.

Having owned these and the ap I took before I feel that rolex is small as compared to them, I'm lucky to be able to fit on to 44 to 45 mm kind of watches?
But I dare not try on pam which are 47 mm in size though, feels that they might be too oversize for me.

Will this give a better idea? I hope it helps for people who wants to know the size on the wrist? I have a 6.5 inch wrist anyway, just saying. =)

No. That GMT II looks very very nice on your wrist. That is why so many folks like rolex. Very versatile and look nice at 40mm even in this recent times where bigger watches are preferred. Can stand the test of time.

Thanks mate! Yup I do agree that they do stand the test of time even when the trend nowadays is more towards bigger sized watches.

Even in divers watch I would have to assume that most still prefer a rolex instead of the other diver? Might be wrong though.

I for one, prefer rolex divers (talking about gen). But when I go diving, I usually put on a Seiko.
As for reps, I think the diving ability is no longer a consideration. Purely aesthetic considerations. And that is pretty much dependant on personal taste.

That v2 really looks nice on you. Keep going back to your pics. My personal opinion is that it looks better than the other 2 pams :)

Hahahaha, thanks mate! You don't have 1 yourself? I know that you have a 15400 though, which I wanted for quite some time but held back for other stuff while in the way.

Not the full black ceramic gmt II. It is one of those I like but I am waiting for the batman instead. Can't fathom buying everything I like or I will really become N addict

Looks like the SS Diver fits your wrist well.

Yup, I like the fit on it.
Might want to try the 44 mm versions of ap but on small strap? But wouldn't be that soon though. Regular length on 42 is alright.

This was what I had for my 44mm schumi on an XS strap. I'll be big for sure, but having some trinkets and all kinda blends your wrist size in :)
