I guess...

Curious to know what the average male wrist size? Ive heard 7.5 or so but not sure because I guess it varies by country >?

I think the average would be 6.5" cause I see some of our caucasian dudes as per this thread having this wrist size, for my asian wrist its 6.5"

my 2 cents though

Yup. Looks like a flat wrist just like mine. Yet another reason for me to get a 111 and not worry about it looking ridiculous on my 6.5" wrist

It will not be ridiculous at all.

So far, I used to think that Panerai was not for me because of my 6.1" (15.5 cm) wrist. But few weeks ago, I met fellow members of this forum in Paris. All of us came with several watches, and there was several PAMs among them. It was the opportunity to try it on, and it's been a great surprise !

Not only it was not ridiculous, but it fits really well. This is the result of the short lugs. Even if case diameter is large, you can wear it without hesitation.

The only bad point is for my bank account. My wish list is growing now ! ;)

Your wrist is 6.3 you say but it looks at least 7 or up compare to the others who have a 6.5 etc.

I am guessing having a flat wrist gives this effect right?


Yeah, they are flat but still puny.
It makes big, thin watches wear pretty well (PAM style), but my Seawolf still looks massive on my wrist.

I also cant decide on my next watch. I want something I can wear every day (a nice daily driver).
SWC members help me out!

1. AP Diver 3.5
2. JLC NSD
3. PAM 243 on a custom strap
4. Breitling Superocean 44mm (not steelfish)

I cant decide :(

JLC is definately my favorite and most suitable, but the only thing that is keeping me from buying a JLC is the grooves near the lugs when you remove the bracelet.

I know the AP and Breitling are a bit flashy, but do you think they are too flashy for a daily watch?
Should I just ignore the obvious flaw on the JLC (the grooves between the lugs) and go for it anyway?? I will eventually put it a Donerix canvas unless the rubberized bracelet is any good after re-working it.

They need to release a shorter strap option as well! That's the only thing preventing me from getting a Diver.

If anyone can make it happen, it's Angus.

Anybody kind enough to ping him an email/PM with the suggestion? The more senior the member/close to Angus the better.
