Very few choices for small wrists

Recommended Posts

magma

Hello 

Have bought a couple reps from TDs here 

The forum has been great for research 

Would like to buy a couple more ,but I'm facing a strange stumbling block 

Currently I find very limited choices for small wrists 

My ideal size for dial would be 38mm

I can bumb it up to a max of 40

But that's about it 

I'm pretty finicky of how the watch should fit on my wrist 

This pretty much limits me to Rolex which I already have 

I was looking at a daily beater from ap or 

Omega aqua terra

( Not really a nautilus fan) 

And a dress watch from jlc or IWC ( fa Jones would have been nice )

But I can't seem to find any with my dial size preference - at least not a decent quality rep ( 150- 250$ club ) 

I understand that reps find to difficult to fit the movements into the gen size casings  - but didn't expect such a scarcity)

Has anyone come across some 

 

I saw one from Mary 

But that's not really a geographic 

 

that's about it 

If anyone knows the way a pointer or advice would be appreciated 

I haven't looked at dhgate since I not that experienced about who and how to buy from

I found myself in the same boat. Picked up an AP15450 (37mm) from Puretime and am totally in love with it! Happy hunting!7aa78a04c6004c7e53c8d81050390cf9.jpg74213af57f6ff9a4d2692b52050fb475.jpg7a86c0ca2c6d43e20087b73c9214e4a1.jpg

If you can go to 41mm, consider the IWC 3714.    It's a very nice watch.

Yep 320$ odd for the bracelet version

Was hoping to snag it for less 

Thank you for the advice mate

If you want larger wrists, you can lift weights, there's also a faster route using growth hormone...

Go vintage genuine. Tons of Omegas and others in smaller sizes. Many (cool design) vintage divers are 38 and under... Really cheap too.

That's where I'd be looking if I had your "problem" finding a suitable size watch.

Anyone have tried PP Nautilus 3800? I just ordered mine and will give feedback on how it looks on my small wrist. It is 37mm and I think it fits as well as the 15450.

Ton of genuine vintage Seikos that are in the 36-38mm range and from a $100 to several $1000s if you go for pristine/rare Grand Seikos.  Can be sporty or dressy, bracelet or strap, classy or crazy. 

Reps are usually of popular current models which means typically larger watches.

OP 39 is a great choice. Great rep out of the box, and good for any size wrist. I have a small wrist too and have no problem with Submariners and Daytonas
