Better editing.
I find it curious how so many are concerned more about how the person looks than the watch looks. It really should be about the watch. We really can not choose how we look but we can sort of control how others do see us.
Not that i am complaining. I am of the old schule myself and find modern sensibility confusing Good design is good design. I have just spent the last few months having to deal with of this in a public setting. My take is to ignore it. How I have survived. But there are those who say we can no longer ignore it. And they claim to have larger sticks.
The other option is of course, to read Jane Austen. But even that falls into tropes of stereotype forced leisure.
And if you really feel bad ask Victor Frankenstein's creation how it felt. For most of human history, how you looked was how you were treated. Perhaps we should bring back the science of phrenology, It is statistically relevant and has reproducible results.
We can on the other hand dream and imagine ourselves to be who and what we think we are. Because none of us like being told what to say or how to behave when we are happy.

Just like if someone made a Beautiful Wooden watch holder for a collection… of Exotic wood and received appreciation from others. Nothing wrong with that.

·Not sure if the proportions of the watch is correct in size the that individual.
Well,maybe in first photo. Yet still not correct
The elbow is not shown, so it's possible that her arm goes out of the photo and someone else put their arm in front with the watch.
Here's another picture of her with the same watch.

·It's her arm. It's because the watch & arm are closer to the camera that makes it seem out of proportion.

It was a joke. 🤨

·For comparison, this is a different lady who seems to have slim wrists. She's wearing the NTTD SMP.
Close up, the watch looks a little big. More so because the bracelet isn't fitted snug.
However from further away, looks fine to me.

That watch looks freakishly enormous to me in every shot, but that's just my opinion. Judging by her engagement ring, she likes big jewelry. Like a friggin doorknob on her finger.

·Ok, now that my eyes have stopped reflexively rolling from some of these comments that are not at all germaine to the topic at hand...
I'm a woman with a 6.5" wrist and while it wasn't my style personally, I've tried on a NTTD (same case as the green SM300 but titanium so lighter) and it looked pretty good. Even if it was my style, it would take someone with more panache than I've got to wear into formally. If I find pictures, I'll post them. When you're talking multi-thousand dollar purchase, spending a couple hundred extra to make sure you can try the thing on before buying is a good investment. At the end of the day, you're the best one to judge what watch fits on your wrist, regardless of whether someone else has done it previously.

·Not a woman but I have a similar size wrist. I find the watch too bulky for my liking, primarily due to the non-tapered bracelet. But, I think it could work fine for you if you like the oversize look (which I happen to think is great).
Ultimately, it’s a matter of taste and agree there’s no substitute to trying one on in person. It’s a lot of money to roll the dice on. Here’s a very bad pic I took a few months ago at the AD (and yes, watches appear larger in cell phone wrist shots):

Super fisheye effect. I bet it's an iPhone.

·My nearest AD is two hours away and I also really liked the green Seamaster. I gave them a call in late April and asked if I could order one in with no money due and with no obligation for me to purchase and they had no problem with that. My AD seemed to have no problem getting them as they called every five or six weeks. The ones they were getting were on the strap and I wanted the bracelet.
Finally, in early November, I got the call. I still hadn't seen it in person, so I arranged for a day to meet with the Omega rep and actually look at it. I loved it but didn't buy it that day and thought about the purchase over the weekend. Less than a week later, I was back down there and purchased it. I say contact your nearest AD and ask for it if you really want it.
Can't speak to fit as I have a large wrist. Sounds like there plenty of people with similar sized wrists as yours. Ultimately, you're going to gave to look at one if you're really concerned about the fit. Do remember that the Seamasters all use the same case so it doesn't have to be a green one to allay your fit concerns. Call your AD and see what they have available.

··@SpeedyBirthYearKnowing a few women who regularly pull off their (vintage) Submariners and do so very well, I wouldn't see why an SM300 is strictly a mens watch. If it suits someones style, it works, regardless of gender.

·I will go and have a try on of this one. Guess nothing beats the live experience and feel… will post a wrist shot in here afterwards.
Thank you all very much for your input ☺️

·Nice. My.AD had two on the rubber strap when I got mine on a bracelet. The strap is quality and a nice color, I just really prefer bracelets. I'd like to get a Staib mesh for it. Not sure if I should get the satin/brushed or polished, though. I think polished could work and I'd probably brush the clasp out then. Or, I could get the satin and add a little shine with a Cape Cod cloth. Anyway, good luck and I hope it works for you.

·A rubber strap is a nice option for a change of pace, but I always think twice about buying a "bracelet watch" like a SMP 300 without the bracelet. It can be expensive to add a bracelet after the fact, and the watch may be sold at some point in the future, and the vast majority of buyers will want a bracelet.
