Wear it for a few days and you may get used to the size. Also wait for the colder season where long sleeves come into play- smaller watches don’t feel as small under sleeves and sweaters and are actually preferable- less bulk.
All 32-33mm on 7.5” wrist

And if you still can’t get used to it- single piece or Nato straps can bulk them up too
30-32mm

Hadn't thought about this, I've got very small wrists (unfortunately) so hopefully sleeves will make it look better. These look perfectly well sized on your wrist.

I'll look in to a single piece and Nato straps.

Thanks.

If you’re not sure about the size, a bund strap will give it much more wrist presence. If it was mine I’d have a strap custom made for it

This is my Poljot 33mm on a bund. It completely transforms the watch to the point where the case size becomes irrelevant

Have a good one

That looks beautiful! I never knew customs straps were possible! I will try to find somewhere that can do this.

I have all my leather straps made by Steveo at steveostraps.com. He’s UK based, but ships internationally - he’s worth a look.

cheers

As most, if not all my posts in WRUW show, I have a preference for 34/35 1960s watches but yesterday was bright and sunny and I thought it was ideal to dig out my cheerful modded Seiko




I couldn’t believe the weight of it, even without the steel bracelet, never mind the dimensions. It was like what I imagine wearing manacles is like.

It lasted over breakfast and then I had to put a smaller watch.

Love these 60's Seamasters. Here is mine with date.

That looks great. Is it a 166.002 case?

If you have "very small wrists" then the size of this watch is to your advantage, and perhaps you just need to wear it for a while until you get used to it.

No, the caseback is plain. Just has some number on the internal but I could only find out the year of production.

Please show a better photo of the inside of the case-back, since that is where you may find the reference number of the watch.

I think this is what I'm going to do. Because of my small wrists, I thought the size would be okay but was much smaller than I imagined it to be but I'll wear it a while like you say.

If you think you like it, get yourself a Bundt strap. They make small watches really pop!
