5968g incoming

Got a surprise txt from AD yesterday letting me know they got this piece in. Went in first thing in the morning to pick it up. The blue is absolutely gorgeous in the light. I was a bit worried that it might be a tad too large for me tiny wrist. But happy to find it fits OK. Perfect color for the summer

Also had a nice surprise for my wife. Couldn't resist

Nice. I think it looks big but not necessarily a deal breaker. This is coming from a fellow small wrist guy. Congrats to your and the lady again.

I agree, I think it's just bordering on too big. Barely manageable.

What is the minimum wrist size you think is good enough for a 5968?

I don't have hard number... But I think the op is barely pulling it off from these pics. Judging from my knowledge of trying a 5968a, I personally think it's a watch that looks best on guys with 7" plus wrists.

Congrats, looks great out in the sun. Maybe wear it a bit further back up your wrist so it doesn't look so big.

Thanks. Yea there's some room for the strap to be further cut down, so I'm gonna do that later this week should be a bit better.

Congrats on both!

I’m pushing hard for a 5968g and 5267 combo for our house too, so I’m a bit jealous. Enjoy them in good health.
