I have a 7'' wrist and took two links from my 5711. Assuming the bracelet is the same length, which is a big if, you will be close but possible a link is needed. Not a big deal and any AD can source one for you.
Oh...and WELCOME!

as above small issue. Don't let that be the reason you dont get it... its an awesome watch.
Id get a bracelet though. 7 1/4 inch wrists... two links out of 5712 and 3 links out on the 5990... you may just need an extra link, maybe 2 |

Welcome! I'd go bracelet, and just add a few extra links as necessary.
