I would say exactly the opposite : the YM looks huge.

Datejust 36 on jubilee bracelet is a perfect option. I've found that the jubilee bracelet contours to a smaller wrist better in my opinion/experience

And now YMs come in 37mm. You might try that. They’re really beautiful and include rotating platinum, gold, or cerachrom bezels for timing.

Since the dial is large, I find them to wear larger visually than even the 5-digit sport watches. I’ve got a 7” wrist and still think they’re too big. Granted, I wear watches traditionally, snug above the wristbone, so watches wear larger up high, rather than down against the hand.

Yes and it's thicker and heavier than a 14060

My wrist size is 6.2”. For dress watch, I wear Rolex 34mm Date, 36mm Datejust and Lange 35mm. For professional, I wear BLRO. It took some times to get used to it. You don’t look at it on top of your wrist. You have see it from a distance. It looks great.

I have a 6.75" wrist and just bought a pre-owned 5 digit Datejust with a jubilee bracelet. It fits and feels great with a lot more adjust ability style than the Superjubilee. Good luck, I know what it's like to have a small wrist!
