Quick question, do you think a Royal Oak Offshore diver v7 will look too big on a 6.5" wrist?
Thanks

It won't look big, it'll look chunky. I wear it on a XS strap and I keep it close to the skin.

One thing I've learned from these threads is how forgiving a nice watch can be in a small wrist. Ultimately if you think it looks wrong on your wrist, it probably is!

I think it also depends what you are wearing. A shirt just covering a large watch wouldn't look as bad as a t-shirt with a skinny arm/wrist.

I've seen some huge watches on small wrists and they manage to pull it off.

Really difficult one to answer! Hope I've helped at least a bit!

It's actually a decently small watch. It looks much bigger in photos, but I tried one on at the AD it was shocked at how smaller it is in real life.

Try it with leather and see what happens? Bracelets add to the bulk. And NATOs are the worst as the crisscrossing of the strap between the watch back and wrist will add another 2 to 3 mm of height.
gonna give this a shot and see how it goes!
