Question about Yacht Master 35mm

Hello,

Are there any men out there who have purchased the YM 35mm? Any regret for not buying the large 40mm version?

Thanks

My dad had always thought about it because he has small wrists. However, when I gave him his sub, he said it felt just right and he was glad he did not go smaller

I see the Mid-size YM on men all the time in my travels around the world.. They are popular with businessmen in Hawaii; I have also seen quite a few in Hong-Kong, Singapore, and along the Pacific US coast...

At 35mm, they are bigger than the typical mans dress watch of 33mm (with the exception of the recent younger generation "big-watch" fascination) that has been a standard size for decades, and almost exactly the same size as a DateJust or Day Date..

If you look at a spring bar for a Rolex, it is 2mm thick........This means that the Mid YM is only smaller by the thickness of a springbar on each side from the full-size, and is indistinguishable in size from the Date-Just and DayDate.......

If you are not into big watches, and you like the look of the YM, this may be the watch for you...............

My wrist are small I think for a guy. When I purchased my Cartier francaise I choose the mid sized on and it has been fine. But with my first Rolex it seems like it should be big. What is a "she-WIS"

Sincerely

A WIS is a term used to describe watch lovers....Watch Idiot Savant.

I made reference to a 'She-WIS' since I am a female

I colleague of mine here just bought a mid-sized YM. He has small wrists, and it looks normal in proportion to his arm. Because of that, you don't really notice the difference. I think he is very happy with his choice.
