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 per other reply, additional links are no problem and straps come in 3 lengths, standard, short and long - as well as custom.

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.
