I am already feeling better about my 6 3/4 inch wrists. Thanks fellas


I thought the same thing.... But then starting this thread I thought it as some kind of competition that I am now handily losing.... I am torn by contrasting emotions. :D :cry:

I wish Skyline78 would weigh in - his radiocarpal dimensions would put us all to shame.

Another 6.75 here. The rest of me could pull off an SA (6'1, 215 lbs) but my wrist can't, a 44mm Panerai is about my max these days. Is there a pound-for-pound category?

Why not go full dimensions.

6.5" wrist, 6' 1" height, and 165 lbs.

As the only sub 6.5" so far, I'm winning...although it's a dubious honor. I'm interested to see how Skyline measures in.

I'm another at 6.75" - 5'11" and 165 lbs. Definitelty can't go bigger than a 44mm which sadly does rule out some nice watches :(

Although my wrist is not as small as others, my frame is only 5'5" and 150 lbs.

so this begs the question.....If you could add 1 inch to your wrist or another appendage :wink: , which would you choose?

Ya know that's a good question, maybe my arm or finger so I can itch that one spot on my back I can't reach, or tie my shoes without having to strain my back by leaning over to do it. Of course that might require more then an inch.

My wrist is in line with many others at 6.5". However, I seem to by physically much smaller, so does that mean I win the contest?! I'm 5'8", 155lbs. The Chronomat 01 I have looks pretty big on my wrist, but it's not too obnoxious. I momentarily had a silver Navi World and it did look too big; I exchanged it for the Navi 01. I think 43-44mm is about as big as I can go without looking like I belong on Jersey Shore.

I'm curious to know what straps everyone has. I had to buy a special deployant Breitling "short" strap for my Navi. It fits me perferctly, but if it were any longer, I'd have to cut some of the excess strap off.

However, it seems that only sharkman and I ever talk about the special sized girly straps. Is everyone else getting by with standard lengths?
