A colleague of mine is currently deployed, and she's becoming interested in guys' watches after seeing mine. She's wondering how a Breitling will look on her wrist, which is about 5.5". Does anybody have pictures of their wives/girlfriends wearing mens' watches that you can post up here, and that I can show her?

How small do Breitling bracelets and straps go?

There was a girl here once who bought a turquoise cockpit chrono that looked really good. If she has a typical lady size wrist, the standard mens leather leather will probably be too big since the smallest it fits is about 6.5-6.75" wrist. She would probably have to order a short one for a $50 premium. The rubber straps with tang buckle are out of the question since they dont come in a short. Im pretty sure that a bracelet or rubber on deployant can both be sized to fit though since my wrist is about 6.75" and I still have at least a couple of links that can be removed from both.

ijen0311. If you go thru her posts, she has some wrist shots of her turqoise Cockpit Chrono, a Sea Dweller, and a blinged up MOP Evo.

Here's another post of a Colt GMT viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12418&p=97310#p97310

I bought my last lady a Tag (late 80s and that was what she wanted) I think it was 38mm. She must have been 5'6" and slim build, looked great (as did the watch).

Among others my wife wears an SOH38 on OR and that's still got plenty of adjustments left. Her wrists are just under 6" I believe.

When I bought the Montbrillant Olympus one of the ladies in the store tried it and it looks fantastic.
I don't recommend the professional and avenger models cause it's too big but any 42mm or less watches without chrono is perfect for women.
