Calling All Ladies - Share Your "Men's-Size" Watches!

Hello TRF!

You may have come across my previous posts; I am a woman with 6" wrists and wear a Rolex 40mm 116622 Yacht-Master Blue. I understand they may not be everyone's cup of tea but I also know I'm not alone. It may be a fad or it may be here to stay, either way, I'd like to see fellow ladies wearing "big" watches. Show us your Subs, Daytonas, and more!

PS. Feel free to "borrow" your boyfriend/husband's watch (with his permission, of course) to share.

I'll start:

Thank you! Men with smaller wrists are most certainly welcome!

If you can manage a few photos, I would like to see. I've always worn my watches closer to my hand but I'm starting to experiment with wearing it past my wrist bone, closer to my elbow.

For those of you who have contributed, thank you for sharing and keep them coming!

Any shots of the DSSD on your wrist, from the top?

On behalf of my wife. Top picture is her 36mm op which I believe to be man size. Picture 2 is her minding my Exp 42mm while I played beach volleyball on holiday this year.

That 36 mm OP looks the perfect proportion of wrist:watch to me. Very nice!

Found these two. Hope they give some idea of the fit. I found it very comfortable on the bracelet actually, no issues with the size or fit. The rubberB strap on the other hand was unwearable due to the angled attachment angle. Made it wear like a big submersible bangle!

Hard to tell from that angle, but I imagined it looking huge on your wrist, but it appears to be ok! Nice! :)

Doh, I was looking to get my girlfriend a Speedy Reduced with the mother of pearl face for her 30th birthday, but I think you have convinced me that it will be just a bit big for her as her wrists are the same size.

It is a great watch, and it may look wonderfully on her wrist :-)
In any case - I am sure you will find a watch that she will love to wear. Wishing you all the best

I took my SO to the shop to check out the ladies Rolexes. She didn't even bother looking at them and immediately said "too small" and went to the men's watches. She liked one of the DJs. I also had her try on the DaytonaC that they had which wasn't for sale. She preferred the white dial DaytonaC, as do I.

Some fantastic pics and great watches ladies.

They all wear well, and I think there is no issue with size on a ladies wrist.

I like the look of the bigger watches on the ladies. Cool and sexy at the same time.

Ha! No apologies here. I look forward to seeing which you choose!

In pictures, the RG is beautiful but in person, it just didn't sing to me like the blue. I would definitely suggest seeing them both (and rhodium, platinum, and RG oyster flex) in person! I know you'll enjoy whichever you choose.

Loving all of the contributions and positive reactions! Ladies and gents with smaller wrists, keep 'em coming!
