I have a sub 6.5" wrist and I'm wondering if I should go for it or not.

I used to have a vintage 600 for a while. I flipped it because I didn't wear it enough, thinking it was vintage and thus fragile and stuff, but it wore pretty comfortable. A bit high, but not too heavy or too big.

I tried a 1200 at the AD and it didn't seem to wear too big, but I'm afraid I can't really make up my mind unless I've worn it for a few days.

Anyone with a small wrist and a Ploprof who wants to share his thoughts? It'll be worn on occasion in rotation with 7 other watches if I decide to go for it.

The way it wears its actually not that huge vertically its width wise that its enormous, so it should actually make your wrists look more manly when you get it 👍

I've even seen women wear a Ploprof without it looking totally stupid.

You won't regret it. 😀

I am at 7.25 and I love the way it wears.

Please do share a wrist shot and welcome to this message board.

Hey @Skyfire, any pics on how the watch worked on your wrists?? Asking as I'm also on the slimmer side but absolutely love the modern ploprof

I had a 600 PloProf for a while and the size didn't bother me as much as the way the back side would cause discomfort with those ridges. I'd wager that since the reissue has a smooth back that it would be a fine enough piece if the overall size wasn't a concern for you. It is surprising how well these wear for their size, but the crown position has a lot to do with that.

Love the look.
why won’t Omega bring this beast down to 44 or even 40 and eat Panerai’s lunch?
It’s a killer dive watch with a distinct physical presence. Give us some options O!

Yeah it sounds like it is very wearable. We "small-wrist-people" hem and haw quite a bit on this topic but the truth is, the modern ploprof does have quite a few visual tricks to make it as wearable as possible for even small wrist sizes (smaller dial, lugs that don't hang off the top and bottom, etc.)

Put away your 8 3/4” wrist and stop bragging!!!
Get off my lawn!
(Lovely piece though. I’m a huge fan of P600, too bad my wrist doesn’t agree)

Oh no my friend. Tiny women wearing big watch is boss! I can’t stop staring!!!
My tiny 4’11” boss wear 44mm PaneraI to Friday meetings. She makes sure all the penises (peni?) around the table see it.
She would ALWAYS pull up her sleeves every time she speaks. Even when the sleeves are not covering the watch!!!
Such a power grab move. I respect that!

I should say I also have micro-wrists, so I agree totally.

My wrist is sub 7" & I have worn it almost every day since purchase in January. It wears e exceptionally well, he led no doubt by the la k of weight due to the use of titanium. The micro adjustment on the clasp is also exceptional.

Looks good, but why the bollocks would you wear it over your sleeve?
