372 and your wrist size

Hi folks, just entertaining the idea of someday having a 372. I have a skinny wrist, 6.50 maybe a few mms less. Since there's very little chance I can try one on in person (or the 422 which I'm on the list for), anyone have pictures? What's your wrists sizes?

Thanks!

I just happen to have a shot! Just on the edge of being too big for me. Casual for sure.

6.5" wrist.

Also, not my watch. If I had the coin, I'd own it!

If you can wear a DSSD,you can easily wear a 372,IMO for the Omega Ploprof on mesh,bigger wrists need to apply.

I'm surprised that it actually looks so good on a 6.5" wrist.It's just my opinion though but I think the buckle looks silly.

Some wrists are flatter then others. My is pretty flat.

The buckle is preference. That is a definite vintage style strap meant back in the day for one size fits all. Plus, it isn't my strap or watch!

PAM372 for Orcs only

I finally saw the 372 in the metal at an AD in Asia, offered at 15% over the MSRP.


I have slender elven wrists and this watch was definitely made for meaty orcs and taurens. There was almost half a centimeter of lug overhang on my wrist. Having said that, I thought it still looked good. I was wearing my "rugged outfit" (think brunello cucinelli or loro piana winter catalogue) and the PAM372 definitely fits that rich city yuppie venturing out into the country wilderness look.


I almost bought it but my girlfriend (who actually can pull of this watch as she is a tall nordic viking amazon) said I looked ridiculous so that was that.


I am jealous of the orcs and taurens with the girth to pull off this watch. I used to wish I was taller but now I want a bigger wrist

On my 7 1/4 inch wrist. I found that 47mm looks to big for my wrist size and overall (and I'm 6'1"/185 cm tall). Everyone has a different opinion and taste, of course. I really like the simplicity of the 372 but it commands too much attention IMO.

i think that looks fine. I think people tend to over think this whole wrist size business.
