Which one...

Hi all

I took a load of pictures for another thread earlier today, and it got me thinking. Which watch do you think looks best on me, based on your personal preference in terms of the watches you like best, combined with the way it looks on my 6.5” wrist?

Patek 5990


Royal Oak 15450 Blue


Royal Oak 15450 Silver


Royal Oak Diver


Rolex Daytona 116519 LN


Rolex GMT 126710 BLRO


Rolex Sea Dweller 116600


JLC Reverso Moonphase GMT


Omega Speedmaster Reduced


TAG Microtimer


Casio G-Shock Riesman

Really great collection, I honestly think they all look good on you except the Casio & Tag, my next least favourite from your photos specifically would be the Diver.

I would say the two royal oaks.

The Daytona and the Speedmaster are close seconds.

IMO the 450’s look to be the best fit.

Perhaps it’s just the angle, but even the Daytona looks large on your wrist.

I noticed the same. He does not seem to have a small wrist but many watches seemed bulky.

I think you need a Royal Oak Chrono 38 mm. That would be a great fit.

Royal oaks, the RO Chrono 38mm is a great suggestion.

Daytona after that.

That 5990 is nearly impossible to beat. Some great pieces there but that PP...

Agree with this, just not sure the current two on offer quite do it for me, although not seen in the flesh yet. If they brought out a black ceramic in 38mm I’d sell a kidney for it!

15450 fits you the best IMO, but also think the BLRO is a close second in it looks on your wrist. Nice collection!

I actually think the last two work best with the Kitchener ink for some reason.

Me thinks a 5167 or 5164 would kick ass on you.

Yeah, have considered these but not got a good enough relationship with an AD (used up my one chance with the 5990) and at grey prices, there are probably watches I prefer.

I might be the odd one out but I genuinely think the G-Shock looks great on you! Macho and sporty!

Very cool collection !

The 15450 with blue dial is a clear winner for me from that batch of photos.

I am not an Audemars Piguet fan but both Royal Oak 15450 looked very nice on you.
IMHO

The AP ROs stand out in the group for fit, they really look good on your wrist.

The sea dweller also nails it in a different way.

I like them all, but think the 450s look a bit small on you actually, think too much skin showing for an AP, like the Diver better on you.
