Recommendations for small wrists

I've been searching for that perfect everyday keeper for a while now but as the title says, small wrists are my problem.

Feel free to recommend vintage Omega models that are 30-36mm excluding crown and max 40mm lug to lug. Other criteria would be silver/white dial and hands/indecies, steel case and no roman or arabic numerals 😀

I would look for a nice Seamaster De Ville. The thin profile makes the watch wear a bit smaller and SS versions with champagne dial and steel hands are quite common. If patient you can pick a nice example up for around 350 euro.

Also, if you wan’t a smaller watch, there are some 32 mm or even 31 mm Geneves out there. They look great and don’t cost much. I helped my girlfriend buy a 31mm geneve that looks stunning on her even though it is not technically a women’s watch. Seamaster De Villes also come in 32 mm cases (but not that often).

I will suggest you a 161.009 or 162.009 which is 33mm and they have 500 movement (reliable and good calibers) price range 400-600 depending on the condition .

135lbs on that bar.

Used to work out at Golds Gym in Venice Beach, the one Arnold made famous during his Mr Olympia years.

I was 205 benching 325, and the smallest guy in the place by far. Hella motivation, though.

Does it have to be Omega? Mid-century Hamilton (ask me) are smaller, about 30ish mm and take 5/8" (16mm) straps.

I have small wrists as well but it is quite difficult to make any suggestion without knowing your tastes and your work.

I say work because for me, an everyday watch is the kind of watch I wear whilst I am working. I am a musician and teacher at a Conservatory so that makes choices for me simple: no sportswatch and a watch that tells me the day and the date. If I am at orchestra rehearsal, then neither date nor day are important, but then again I dress in a very old fashioned way. So I am showing you what I would wear.



I would not wear any Genéves or some Constellations or Devilles, because they are quite dressy and don't look not as sturdy as the ones above but delicate.. The neutral colours also tend to work with work environment in general. Seamasters with thick lugs and beefy cases do look robust enough for daily wear. And my experience does tell me, that a daily wearer does take more damage than my other pieces as I take public transportation, and take the watch on and off all the time. (I can play whilst wearing it but it is not comfortable).

All I said though is personal taste. And if your work means being in a museum for instance, hey, maybe a Connie or DeVille would do the work.

My daily watch is a Seiko though (it costed around 100€!!), this one:

Sounds like as a musician and teacher you are over the top picky watch-wise. I'm picky too and pay no attention to any wrist shot that includes feet or car interiors in the background. 😁

Lol wtf hahahah

The older Rolex Oyster Date watches are classic looking and are 34 mm in size.
Most function the same as the larger Datejust with the rapid date setting mode on the crown.

I bought mine new in 1984. Been a great watch ever since.
Mine has the blue dial and two-tone 18k gold and stainless oyster bracelet.
I see them for sale used around $3500 to $4000 or so.
The two-tone doesn't seem to add much value as the stainless steel versions seem to be about the same price range.

some diet and exercise can open a whole new world of watches

maybe in this case just diet 😉
