This is an 18cm 6.5 inch wrist {mine} sporting a MID sized Seamaster Pro Quartz Black dial.As you can see,it looks "correct" for the wee wristed.
Whatta watch!I like the fact it never stops running when I leave it off for more than a day also.I too am tempted to buy the Electric blue fullsized next,but am unsure...
I bought it for $799,so you may not need save too long.This black version came out recently,so I'd guess it shoud be in production for a while...
: Hey there,

: I've long been an admirer of Omega watches,
: although I have not had the funds to fulfil
: my dream of actually owning one until now. I
: live in Britain and I am in the process of
: saving up for an Omega Seamaster
: Professional "Bond" style,
: probably a quartz model.

: However, I have a few questions I would like to
: ask.

: 1) I have heard that this style of watch is
: relatively old (I beleive it was introduced
: in 1993). I am currently aiming to purchase
: my Seamaster in the Christmas period of this
: year. Does anyone know how long Omega
: intends to continue production of this
: wonderful watch? I don't want to go into
: town to purchase one only to find that it
: has been discontinued.

: 2) Should I go for the full-size or mid-size
: model? I know this is a rather vague
: question, but I have rather thin wrists
: (6.5" diameter at last measurement) and
: do not want the watch to look too big on me.
: I currently wear an old Casio Edifice which
: is quite large. I am posting a photo of it
: on my wrist with a ruler nearby to give a
: sense of scale. You can probably see the
: black tape I have placed over the strap
: where it has split - I really need a new
: watch.
: Apologies for the awfulness of the picture - my
: digital camera is on its way out.
: Which size of Seamaster, in your opionon, would
: be closest to the size of this watch? Please
: also bear in mind that I am only 19, so my
: wrists will probably grow fairly rapidly
: over the next few years.

: 3) How readable is the watch at night? I
: personally adore the skeleton style hands,
: but have heard some complaints that they are
: difficult to read at night. Is there any
: truth in this?

: 5) I have also heard that the bezel on this
: watch is extremely stiff and hard to turn.
: Is this true? Does it loosen with time and
: use? I use the bezel on my watch quite
: frequently; will the SMP present a problem?

: I would be very grateful for any advice.

: Thanks in advance,
: Ben M,
