·Looking for a chronograph(non vintage) with a smaller profile. Small wrist problems. Any recommendations? I thought the trilogy Speedmaster was a good candidate but look at the lug to lug its not real that smaller.

·Some sort of dress chronograph might come in a smaller size. For example, these are just under 40mm:

These days, if vintage is out, the modern watch case is going to run you minimally 40mm so I'd say maybe try an Omega Speedmaster FOIS?

·Does it has to be mechanical? I think finding a cool, modern chronograph with a quartz movement will be much easier since size is an issue.
If sticking with mechanical, perhaps one of the newer automatic Speedmasters? I believe they are 39mm.
I really like these 😀

At the border of vintage there is the Omega Dynamic 3 Gen. Ref 5240.50.00 from 1997-2002.
37mm.
I really like these 😀

yeah I was looking at trilogy Speedmaster because it’s 38mm.

·How about that "Baltic Bicompax"?
Definitely not to my taste, but I gather they are popular. I only just now realised they are mechanical 🤦

An Automatic Junghans at 40mm
or a Hamilton Intra-Matic at 40mm

·The Seagull 1963 comes in two sizes. I think the smaller version is 38mm.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerDefinitely interesting. Very affordable, too.
Unless you have a watchmaker willing to work for next to nothing, servicing of this would likely be close to, or as much as, a new watch. Just something to keep in mind.
I looked on their web site and there wasn't a section on servicing, and the only reference was in the FAQ's about getting watches "repaired":
Where can I get my watch repaired?

··Oooo subtitles!That’s 39mm right? I think trilogy Speedmaster is 38. Lug to lug is about the same.
It is a common misunderstanding but these watches are essentially the same. The difference, all ~0.4mm of it is in the bezel which is the widest part on the Ed White/FOIS/Trilogy case. The actual case is the same, other than lug detail. The Pro has a 39mm bezel, just like the FOIS and wears pretty similar to the FOIS or Trilogy Speedy though the bare website measurements would suggests otherwise. The Moonwatch is in essence a 39mm model with pusher protection, which is why it wears smaller than people expect.
