36mm too small?
Is it too small on a 7 quarter inch wrist?

Love the 1803. I think it looks just right. Like the no cyclops look.

I don't believe it's too small but it's so subjective. If you are already having this debate, then it may be too small for you. The watch looks great!

That looks great! It's possible to love big watches (I wear 48 and 49mm Breitlings and a 47mm Azimuth) and also the 36s and 34s. I wear a two-tone Zephyr or a gold 1003 for some dress occasions and I love the 1803. Depends what you like.

Not at all
All that matters is that you like the watch

I think it's a good size, I must admit that I'm wearing larger watches nowadays.
But tell you what, in the late 80's I wore a mid size Datejust as I thought the full size was far too large!

40 is perfect for me, 38 is fine, 36 I have not tried but one day I'll get an Explorer 1016. 34mm I tried 4 times and just can't pull it off - if I could I would still have my Ranger. Though I have 8"+ wrists.

Looks great!
Cheers!

Here's my only 36. I have a 40mm and a 47mm Pam.
I too was worried about the 36mm. But, I'm liking it a lot and it wears nice. I think.
Cheers!

I prefer 39mm-42mm. I have smaller than average wrists but for me 36mm is too small.
