Skinny Wrist Club thread

[cromag 0]

I was with a buddy getting his new 42mm Omega Planet Ocean sized at my local jeweler. His wrists are just a tiny bit smaller than my 6.5" wrist. It almost didn't fit because we ran out of links to remove! It fits bit loose on his wrist but he likes it that way, and I think it looks good a little loose. I heard that 7" (17.75cm) is about average wrist size for a man.

 

In an effort to help our community I think we should have a Skinny Wrist Club thread, where we post ongoing wristshots of our watches on our skinny wrists. This data can help our skinny purchasing decisions. Show us your old models and newest models. Sure you can post a large PAM, or DSSD, on a 6.25" wrist. That would be great to see! It may not be acceptable to some, but others may find it just right.

 

Here is the criteria I would like to try to follow;

 

Let's see wrist shots of watches if your wrists are 6.5" (16.5cm) or less.

 

Please post your pics with the following;

1. Brand/Model
   
2. Diameter/Thickness
   
3. Your wrist size (daily wrist sizes change slightly so try to measure for the picture you post)
   

Add any other info you want to share.

 

 

 

 

Cheers!

One thread where I can be helpfull... I have 17cm wrist, I think this is 6.7''.

 

Just keep in mind that watches look bigger on pics, they fit smaller on my wrist in person.

 

44mm/15mm Showpard, thicker strap helps to balance it out

 

40mm/15mm Pam homage

 

41mm/13mm SMP 300m

@GBOGH thanks for the link to WUS http://forums.watchu...tch-582050.html

 

I had a look through and there are some uuuuuugly watches on there. I think this thread will be better, more current and more info with sizes and models listed on each. And RWG has better taste

My Speedy 42mm/13.5mm on my 6.5inch wrist - not too good a comparison though.

Cromag, your Martin has way too high action.

Cromag, your Martin has way too high action.

 

Actually it does feel a bit high for my taste and I would like to lower it but it's all a trade off I guess. I love playing that HD28. It's factory spec to the micron according to, and accurately measured by, Gryphon in Palo Alto, but I'm in drop D tuning for that song so it may look a little off. I may head down there and check have it checked. Thanks Lu

Each to their own Luth. My Archtops are a bit higher still, i play mostly solo fingerstyle but when accompanying a saxophone, comping walking bass etc i prefer the height for attack and volume. 99% of those chords are barre, my left forearm and hand (fretting) are like popeye,s, takes a while to build up stamina but i,ve been doing it for about 15 years now.

Ok it is a Chopard, gran turismo it was a present my parents got me from their trip in Turkey a few years ago.

Wrist size is 16,5.

watch diameter is 44 mm or with crown 48mm

14 mm thick

Ohh this is the stuff!

Quality first post.

Who needs porn when you have oversized watches!!!

[Del 4,462]

Flamin' heck, I don't qualify for this club because my wrist is too big at 6.75" - that's a first!

 

Anyway, this is one of my larger watches at 45mm in diameter and around 18mm in depth - it's a Breitling Skyland Blacksteel.

I wear my watch on the left wrist which is 6.5" (screams ASIAN!!)

its weird cause my right wrist is 6.76" prolly because of fapping too much

here's the PO 42mm, just can't take it off my wrist really.

I am almost 40" on the waistline and only 5"6ft in height so most prolly I wont have a trouble in rocking 45mm to 48mm watches, for now I am safe with 43mm watches I guess

 

Maybe a better view;

If there was one thread I never expected you to post in...

Guys, how's it going . A guitarist with a 6 .25 wrists finds it impossible to increase wrist size. 50 chin ups daily has no effects. What can we do to be able to wear 46 mm plus watch sizes. Confused from Uk.

[markeym3 2]

You guys in the "skinny club " have got way more choice in watches anything 40mm + is good news for the 8.5" guys for me it's 43mm and up ,, nice thread though
