As you have found, there isn't much of a selection in mid-sized watches. Both reps and Gens seem to be focused on who can make the larget pam-a-like. There seem to be dozens of companies that make Sub homages; except, all of them think that their creative and unique contribution is that they will make it bigger.
You mighy look at some of the asian market Seiko and Citizen. As far as reps go, there really isn't much that isn't hugh or just plain bad reps. I went with a Rolex 1675 Catrel GMT. There are also a small number of under 40mm (my limit) IWC reps.
If you are a bit more spicific about what you are looking for people can be more help. In dress watches the quartz Cartier Ballon is actually a decent looking rep. Give more information than just wrist size.
As far as those pictures in the "skinny wrist club" thread. I will say it, most of those look just plain silly. They look like some kid wearing a watch that is just too big for them. . . possibly they have fond memories of borrowing their fathers watch. . . noting wrong with that; but, it looks a bit silly.
