Wrist sizes!

[mrproc]

Ya’ll have some small wrist…continuing my search for my 1st Rolex (and high end watch) I’m discovering a lot of 7”-7.5 wrist sizes.
Do I need to go to BIG and TALL section for a 8” size?

(This post is full sarcasm, please don’t ‘at’ me)

Welcome Robert.

I wouldn’t say 7”+ wrists are exactly small That said, there are quite a few guys here with even larger wrists, I’m sure they’ll chime in.

If you’re looking for Rolex that wear larger, the YM2 is probably one of the biggest, followed by the DSSD (you could go DS Challenge if you really want something large)

I think on this forum, 7.5” are bigger than average. And 8 is definitely larger.

I would guess most folks have around 6.75 to 7 inch wrists.

You could post a poll to find out.

It seems like the watch world is all about those 7”-7.5” wrist sizes lately. Maybe you'll need to hit up the "BIG and TALL" section for that 8” size Rolex! Who knows, you might find a watch that fits just right for your wrist.

I'm above 7.7" wrist size. I definitely wear a 40 or 41 mm in the Datejust and DayDate watches. I don't feel any need to go larger personally. Certainly, I can understand that you may. Can you share a few photos of your existing watches on your wrist? It's so much easier to discuss this with photos.

A 42MM or 44MM or even 50MM should work well on you. Rolex has the Challenge and IWC has 50MM limited edition pilot, I was at the AD and tried it on did not work for me and I’m over 7” There are some other brands like Panerai has a 46MM.

There are some choices for you, no need for any big & tall?
Go on a watch safari and try some out and see what works for you.

Cheers,

7 3/4” wrist here, I find the larger watches can be unbalanced if too tall. Try on a lot of watches and see what you think. I had a deep sea for a while and eventually it wore me out.
