  • Looking for some advice/random opinions on watches for those of us with small wrists (I’m 16cm circumference and 5cm width). A recent inheritance means I’m looking to treat myself, ideally to a sports diver. Not looking for fussy dials or chrono complications.

    Had thought about a Black Bay 58 in blue, but they seem to have all sold out. I have an appointment on Saturday with my local Omega dealer to try the Seamaster 300 and Plenet Ocean 39.5mm, but I’m thinking both might be too big. Anything else I should ask to try while I’m there, or should I just suck it up and wait for Tudor to restock? Max price would be £5.5K, though less=better, obvs.

  • As others have said it will be the lug to lug measurement that matters most. The PO 39.5 has a remarkably small L2L - i think just below 45mm - so will wear well better than you think on smaller wrists. The seamaster 300 has I think a 50mm L2L so will wear much, much bigger.

    I think my wrists might be similar size to yours (maybe bit bigger) - here's the 39.5 PO when I tried it on if it helps...

    [now adding photo - something went wrong before...]

  • Ok, maybe the PO is more of a contender than I thought. I just need to try them all on. Dealer said he didn’t have any BB58s left (waiting list of 40 people) so a trip to Guildford may be in order!
