Mm300

Anyone have experience with the MM300 on a small wrist? My wrist is 16.5 cm(6.5 inch) i can easily pull off the 42mm explorer 2. Is this watch a lot bigger? Its hard to find one to fit in the dealer so... Experience anyone?

I forget the actual dimensions but it's thick watch. I have about a 6.5 inch wrist and sold my green MM300 and now have a MM200, which fits much better (flatter/thinner) and has a better SS bracelet than the MM300's (though not as good a movement and no ceramic bezel). The MM200 is also way cheaper of course, but its a great watch, good quality.

on your wrist it looked fine imo!! Did you ever tried on a 216570? Do you think it sits larger than a exp.2 in terms of l to lug?

I never tried a 216570. Lug to lug for 300mm was ok, but the thickness was more of an issue. I think about 15mm or more. Felt top heavy.

I've had a few Tunas, too, and they wore better than the MM300 for me. Maybe because no lugs.

I have a SBDX017 reference with a 7” wrist and it wears fine. Living in Florida, I have it’s on a Crafter Blue rubber strap most of the time. The Marine Master is a great watch, and I never get tired of wearing it.
