Yacht master

Do you guys think this is to small? I’m about 7.25” wrist. I currently have a 1601 as my daily wearer. This is the 37mm.

Any input is appreciated. I’m looking to add one more Rolex to my small collection so that each boy can have one.

Get the 40 version, which already wears small vs. subs.

Also agree the 40 would look better on your wrist.

Too small for you. Go with 40.

I own the 40mm and it is very comfortable to wear. I believe the 37mm will be even better in term of wearability.

I have the 40 mm and have small wrists , I always get the feeling that the 37 is the ladies version

I feel it looked ok , BUT I could not get pst the thought of it being the ladies size.
I was glad I got to try it on as it made my size decision easy.

What matters is what you think. Other people have varying opinions on this matter.

For example, if I had your wrists I would not be wearing anything less than 40mm. Meanwhile, some guy with 8in wrists feels that a 36mm is too big...

Whatever you like. Your wrists are larger than my tiny 6.5. I really like the YM line. I’ll be in the hunt of the RG YM on OF. Did you see any at the AD when you were their? Good luck!

Doesn't look bad, but 40mm will look better.

You'll be happier with the 40mm in my opinion. I would be. Great watch.

+1 for the 40mm I have a smaller wrist than yours and it’s by far my smallest watch. Wears a lot smaller than Hulk & GMT! You can’t go wrong with Rhodium or Blue both are stunning IMO here’s my 40mm blue if helpful

I have a similar wrist size as you. I looked at a 37mm TT RG Chocolate YM at my AD yesterday, it is too small.

Get the 40mm version. It will be perfect on your wrist.

You can easily pull off a 40. That would be my advise.

I have a similar size wrist and looked at the same watch this weekend. Cool watch and I would have purchased one if they had the 40, but the 37 is too small.

It’s your decision, but I think you may regret buying the 37 down the road and it sounds like most posters here agree.

40. The midsize looks good on a woman.

I think the 37mm is better suited to smaller wrists. Your wrist needs a 40mm IMHO.

Looks alright but if the choice is there go 40mm. Midsize Yachtmasters on men should stay in the 90s Imo.

Here's the same model in 40. I have a small wrist, but the YM wears incredibly comfortably for me and the the 40 is not too large.
