Mans watch for a girly sized wrist...
Discussion
It appears that we have quite a few watch enthusiasts on here so hopefully I can get a bit of advice...
At the moment I have a Tag Automatic 4000 series which has been on my wrist for the last 10 years or so. It's lost the will to live recently and instead of spunking out another £200+ to have it serviced I was thinking about replacing it. The watch has a good size face for my skinny wrist at 32mm/total width 38mm.
My question would be what watch would you recommend for those with less than manly sized wrists? Originally I thought about an Omega Constellation but on reading a few posts on here I'm really liking the look of the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. I believe they do a reduced size version but from what I can find on the net it's 42mm and may be too big (I would have to try one on though).
Watch requirements would be automatic preferably, steel bracelet and face (maybe with a small amount of gold) for less than £2k. I also don't mind buying 2nd hand and would probably prefer to do so if it gets me a "better" watch.
Any thoughts?? It doesn't have to be Omega by the way
Thanks

Cue the opportunity to mention the mid sized seamaster that I still have for sale..

Other than that, I have the same problem, girl sized wrists. I was looking in a jewellers recently with my girl friend and both her and the shop assistant, that knows me really well, just said if you like the watch then go for it. No one notices whether a watch is too big. For example I like wearing mid sized pieces but my currently daily wear is a Citizen sky hawk atomic at 48mm and I have got used to it and it doesn't seem that big.
Yes you are correct the smaller size PO is at 42mm and is a lovely watch.

I've always liked the Omega Aqua Terra Mid Size. You should be able to pick one up new for around £2k.
