Re: 2531.80 & 6 inches wrist
In Response To: 2531.80 & 6 inches wrist ()

: I've a very small wrist, ~6 inches. Will SMP
: 2531.80 (41 mm) look a little bit big on my
: skinny hand? The mid-size of SMP is 34.8mm
: and is a bit small compared to my current
: timberland watch, which is ~38mm. I like my
: current timberland watch size.

I couldnt agree more than what Teeritz have said. I'm 5'10" and my wrist (just measured it) is 16.5cm (roughly 6.5 inches).

The first time I've looked at the 2531.80, it look huge and big for on my wrist (Friend of mine had one). This is probably due the smaller watch I wore previously in comparision.

Anyway, I went for the 2298.80, same size (41mm) as the 2531.80 but with Chronogragh and in Ti. So its the same radius/size (41mm) but thicker. It sits higher than the 2531.80.

And I LOVED IT............I don't even feel that it's too big for me (personal opinion). It all depends on what u feel comfortable with but do try it on and see. Preferrable have it on your wrist a day or two from someone u know who have one.
