Pelagos Smaller Wrist Pic Request

Not willing to play the Rolex game I decided to scratch my itch with two readily available and wonderful pieces.

Now... before anyone says these two won’t scratch it... BLNR, Hulk, Sub, etc... - Been there, done that more than once.

A Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich (en route) and a Pelagos.

Unfortunately I never got a chance to try on a Pelagos while in the US and my nearest AD is a plane ride away.

So I’m wondering if those with smaller wrists that own the Pelagos can share pics. Shy of 6.5” wrist here ...

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Eliot! Looks amazing. Do you find it to be top heavy or does the Titanium keep it balanced ?

I’m also going for blue in house.

Edit: I made a mistake in my post, my wrist is just shy of 6.5” so now I’m sure we’re golden being that your wrist is slightly smaller and it looks great.

Very light. Not top heavy at all.

My wrist is 6” and I went Blue in-house. It’s a great fit and probably the best dive watch out there. I like the DSSD and the AP Diver but they’re more extreme in style.

Oh man, I too have Pelagos fever and can't decide between black or blue. My dreams of owning a Sub (unless I shell out ridiculous money) are likely not going to happen.

I have a larger wrist, but it’s the most comfortable watch out there. Big, but tamed due to the material and excellent bracelet.

i have the pleasure to own a black pelagos, and its one heck of a tool watch , a rugged watch no nonsense , if you can handle the fact that you will rock a shield in stead of a coronet i think its one hell of a watch to own , and i think it has a better lume

and that picture showcases why the Pelly is way more legible , no reflective material next to the hour marker, no ring loc that reflects light , no bezel that reflects light

just a black ninja watch

I'd love to try one on after seeing some of the pictures posted in here. It's a watch I've always liked, but never considered because of the size.

Lovely picture! Never an issue with the shield as opposed to the crown.
