Hi guys,

We are all built differently

and have all kinds of anatomical structures.

With this, of course, comes the all important (for us) WRIST size.

Question is what would you consider the perfect watch size for your own wrist?

For me? I think 40 mm is spot on for my 7½" wrist. I can go bigger....right upto 45.5 mm as in the PO, but ideally 40 mm is not only perfect in looks, but also perfect in comfort!!

What about YOU? What's perfect for you?

I've found 40 to 42 mm to be ideal!

Not smaller than 40mm and not bigger than???? After wearing the Pannies, the YM looks small for about an hour, then it looks perfect just that quick again.

Myself don't mind as I like vintage watches,which sometimes are a bit small
for my almost 8.50 inch wrist.But prefer watches 40mm and over for general
everyday use.

For me, I like...

Dress watch: 35mm

Sport watch: 40mm

I'm similar to Peter in likes. I prefer 36 mm in a dress watch and 40 - 42 mm in a sport.

Well, since I have pencil wrists, I prefer something in the 37mm area, but will go as low as 34, and as large as 39.4*

I have a WG dress watch that is only 36mm and will soon have something rather large... so I'm open to anything given the right occasion.

Hey John, what is the white gold dress watch? Can you show us a picture?

Inquiring minds want to know!

No pix but it's a Raymond Weil. It's actually filled WG with a porcelin dial, WG stick markers and WG hour and minute hand, no second hand. It's on a black croc strap. It was a gift from my wife when we were in Portugal. Apparently this model never made it across the pond.

40 to 43 mm for me. I like them big (watches that is).
