Royal Oak 56175TT/ST
Good day gents. Hope all is as good as can be, in today's Coronavirus disrupted world.
Without going into too much detail as to why (my previous posts will shed enough light on that), I've recently been considering adding a Vintage Quartz Royal Oak to my collection and stumbled upon a few decent examples on this model on Chrono24. Now the first thing that struck me was, I'd expect most watches of this size (33mm) to be classified as ladies. However, this seems to be classified very much as Unisex not only on the above site, but also other other review sites/blogs. Any of you distinguished gentlemen with smaller than average wrists (around the 6 inch mark) own this reference? Would you consider it an adequate sized Men's watch? Any wrist pics available? The smallest watch I've owned would be the OP Date 1500, which I believe is 34mm. Though it gets quite minimal wrist time mainly thanks to the lack of quickset date, it still remains one of my favourite classic pieces. Based on the 15450 which for me wears more like a 39-40mm, does the Tantalum reference wear more like a 35-36mm? Is it worth pulling the trigger on?

The 36mm is probably the smallest I’d go for a Royal Oak.

I haven’t seen one to be fair but even at 6 inches, 33mm must be too small IMO.
