IWC Portugieser Chrono on a small wrist?
Hi guys,
I love the Portugieser Chronograph '150 Years' but I have a 6" wrist. Would the dial be too big for me? I will always be wearing it with long sleeved shirts. Thank you! |

Don’t do it! I always admired this watch, eventually bought it, then sold it because it was too big on me. It wears big due to a thin bezel. I had the classic one, I will have to Google your model.
I have a 6.5 inch wrist. Any interest in an Omega Speedmaster? The classic ones are smaller and wear smaller. |

Is there a watch as amazing as this, similar style closer to 39mm for less than $10,000?

Wish it wasn’t true
I always got a charge out of it when I tried it on at dealers. But I wore it to work only a couple of times with a suit.
Sort of like when the shoes feel good in the shoe store, but not so good when you get home. But your mileage may vary and you might like it. I wear 40mm Rolexes no problem, but I think that they wear smaller. |

I love this watch but it is simply way too big for my girly wrists!! It wears EXTREMELY large!
I decided on the IWC Portofino and am absolutely smitten with it. Sent from my iPhone |

But Portofino is 42mm!
Are you sure it wears smaller than the Portugieser? |

No, I decided on this because the chrono was just way too big on me.
40mm only. Sent from my iPhone |
