I've got small wrists so 40MM for me

fdm79 · 14 July 2018, 05:32 AM

40mm - 43mm

Largoshark · 14 July 2018, 05:35 AM

40mm

Jmbarrack · 14 July 2018, 05:43 AM

Ideally 36mm - 40mm works. 38mm-39mm is the sweet spot for me. I have 6.75 inch wrists.

Over 40mm, forget it. I really can’t even consider. I know others with my wrist size prob are ok with up to 42-43mm. But personal taste for me I don’t like it.

7" wrist here. 40-41mm is perfect for me. 43-44mm max, 39mm minimum.

Burlington · 14 July 2018, 06:07 AM

39-42mm

Depends on the actual case/bezel design though

i have a 6.5 inch wrist , my explorer 2 42mm fits perfect, exact the same perfect sizing as my 40mm 114060 to me... i hate to small watches

BNA/LION · 14 July 2018, 06:14 AM

40mm

Harry-57 · 14 July 2018, 06:24 AM

It depends on lug thickness, size, case height etc. I have a Speedmaster X33 which is quoted at 45mm but because of its slim, curved lugs, it wears like a 40-42mm. Which is my preferred range for Rolex. The 40mm sub always looks small when it goes on to my 6.75"wrist, but it looks perfect by the time I take it off. My 42mm Polar looks good from start to finish. And they are both soooo comfortable.

I wore a 43mm Aquaracer today. Looked pretty good. Wore uncomfortably and was a relief to take off. That's the problem with Oyster bracelets. They make most other things feel like junk. I don't own a non Oyster bracelet Rolex. I expect the Jubilee and others are just as comfortable. It seems to be a Rolex thing.

40 MM is the classic????? Of course, that's if a classic is something that's been standard for less than 20 years......

oldblock · 14 July 2018, 06:46 AM

Each to their own taste for me
If it looks good to you - and you’re not fazed by what others think or say - then any size is “ideal”
I recently bought a Sky Dweller and I wanted it so bad because it is an amazing watch BUT i knew looking at my wrist - and despite many encouraging posts - it was too big for me and my own psychological comfort zone
So I am waiting on my DJ41 on oyster, bevilled bezel, rhodium....and can’t wait!!

Uppersouth · 14 July 2018, 07:49 AM

40-44mm. I’ve got a 46mm and a 38mm that I also like. So in general I prefer larger watches, but appreciate each watch for what it is.

Justindo · 14 July 2018, 08:07 AM

36-42mm is my preferred range, although lug length and bezel width are major factors too. I prefer my dress watches to be 36-39mm.

evlkoala · 14 July 2018, 08:10 AM

36-40mm except for Speedy Pro 42mm.

Tmac478 · 14 July 2018, 08:12 AM

At my age, 60, my wrist size, 7.5 and my declining vision, 43-44 mm is my sweet spot. Definitely nothing smaller than 40.

40-41 only

DLRIDES · 14 July 2018, 09:57 AM

40 - 42 is all I will wear in modern watches and 38 minimum in vintage.

Juantxo · 14 July 2018, 10:01 AM

36mm and my wrist is 7 3/4”.

The other thing I know, based on reading dozens of "is this too big?" threads on several forums, is that a size that looks good to me is about 4mm smaller than what the forum would say "looks fine" if I posted wrist shots and asked.

Wearing a watch that measures lug to lug the same or anywhere close to your wrist width looks about as natural to me as wearing a belt buckle that is as wide as your hips.
