nippler 0 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, I'm really interested in sporty yet elegant looking watches like Richard Mille, AP Royal Oak, Hublot, etc. Unfortunately, my wrist is less than 6 inches in circumference at 5.8 inches... So it's pretty hard for me to find watches in that category that don't look overly huge on my wrist. Does anyone have recommendations for watches that fit the criteria? I'm really looking for something in the style mentioned above, but I'm still open to any other suggestions. (I would like to stay away from Rolex though) Thanks!

2470f2.8ii 0 Posted March 17, 2017 well man, I'm kind of in the same boat but just ordered an ap 44mm roo. my wrist is 6.5 - my advice; get the watch you like. if it doesn't pan out; catch and release it? thats my plan at least :) I have a sub v7 LV from noob. it fits well; a little small honestly but it looks really nice in person. check out the patek philippe nautilus -- pretty unique/sexy watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nippler 0 Posted March 17, 2017 Lately I've been particularly fond of watches like Richard Milles or the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang... I just know that neither of those would work for me since even the straps won't fit to my wrist T-T On top of what I asked before, if anybody knows of anything similar but smaller, please let me know :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phone 0 Posted March 17, 2017 My wrist is 6.5 and I also will suggest to just get whatever you want. BUT. If you really worried about it, you're probably just better off going with vintage man. Get a 36mm explorer 1. It will fit beautifully. Or even a modern PP Nautilus. Great sports watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nippler 0 Posted March 17, 2017 In terms of vintage/classic style watches, I've been looking primarily for some Jaegers, Pateks, and APs. I guess my criteria for that category would be that my budget is under $200 and it has to be from a TD who accepts Paypal. I've been looking for those as well, and I've come up with a few, but it seems like none of them are even close to the gen. Even though this isn't the topic of this thread, if anybody could make some suggestions for this too that'd be great :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelittleprince 2 Posted March 17, 2017 I read somewhere here that it helps to have big biceps, so buy what you want and ask a TD for replica protein shakes as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porschespeedster 19 Posted March 17, 2017 Paypal ain't gonna fly with any TD, so you know. They're decent dealers, we all use them, you're not gonna get ripped off. Take that same $ and send it via WU and some dealers might even give you a discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

George. 34 Posted March 17, 2017 My recommendations for a smaller wrist (all pretty readily available from dealers today) : Rolex Ouster Perpetual 114300 - 39mm Rolex Daytona 6263 - 37mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450 - 37mm Omega Planet Ocean 600M - 37.5mm Pretty much any Nomos IWC Portofino - 39mm These are what I have my eye on right now anyway!
