does my speedy reduced fit too small?

    so, I finally put my hands on my first speedmaster (or speedy-like as some might argue). I always tend to think I have small wrists (6.3 at best) and Im usually wearing shirts (so my watch should go under the cuff). So I decided to get speedy reduced.
    I have a feeling that despite of circumference of my wrists I should be wearing bigger watches. Am I right? Any help appreciated.

    This is fine. You might be able to get away with larger, but you don't need it unless your peers have been so conditioned by dinner-plate watches on slender wrists that it's their minimum standards. You could also go smaller easily, which means you have the good fortune to be able to buy and wear smaller vintage sized watches.

    Looks perfect to me. I wouldn't go any bigger. And you could consider yourself fortunate in that smaller vintage watches (33-36mm) will look great on you.

    looks perfectly fine to me. Size is a matter of taste and tolerance. Now, time to size the bracelet properly =)

    The regular one would look fine, too. But the reduced is ok, if you like the bulging eyes look.

    Fits well, personally I'd adjust the bracelet so it fits on the other side of the wrist bone, just my opinion.

    Looks good to me! I have a 6.5" wrist and have a FOIS...if you want a tad bit larger, could always buy one of those!
