I'm a guy with a small wrist (5.5" circumference).

Hello,

I'm a guy with a pretty small wrist. The circumference of my wrist is 5.5". I measured at various places, but it's about the same 5.5". I didn't include a measurement going over the ulnar process because I don't think I'll be wearing my watch there. In any case, it couldn't add more than a quarter inch. I'd like to get a Seamaster 300 Professional Chronometer. So, should I go with the mid-size or the full-size version?

Also, I'd like a watch that will be functional for standardized test-taking (i.e. has a bezel), yet will be formal enough to wear on a medical school interview. That said, should I go with the 2252.50 (midsize, black face, black aluminum bezel) or the 2253.80 (midsize, blue face, stainless steel bezel with engraved numbers)? Though I know the blue watch would be slightly less formal than the black, I think I'm leaning towards the blue one a bit more. It's more "classic Seamaster" than the other and the shiny stainless steel bezel helps out in the formality department.

What do you think?
