Omega Planet Ocean

[scotty_d]

I have been looking at a 37.5mm size as i have fairly small wrists, anything bigger just looks out of place on me. I have been in a few Omega shops while on holiday in the states hoping to get a good buy. The watch I like I can get cheaper here in Glasgow

Any way i have always promised my self a Omega and i am now in a position in life to treat my self. below i hope is the picture of the model i like. (Unsure as i can not open the full link on my very slow work connection)

But it is a planet ocean with orange dial and unsure if the orange surround or grey, Will decide when i see both in the metal.

What are the experts thoughts of them on here?

Sorry if this has been covered my internet is very slow to try and search old thread (worse than dial up )

I am promising myself a Planet Ocean, the one with orange numbers at 6,9,12 but with the grey bezel as I feel the Orange one is too much IMO.

Black face as well, as my company logo is black & orange so it all ties in nicely (in my mind anyway )

Good taste as that's the one I am getting pulled towards

Isn't the 37.5mm for girls!? No-one has smaller wrists than me but even I managed a 45mm. Still, just a tad awkward to wear and will get a 42mm eventually.

My favourite watch but even on my slim wrists I'd go 42mm.

Never knew that. Well, you wear whatever size you like and are comfortable with.

I've got the 45.5 Big Orange on SS, intitially it felt large, but now, it seems just right.

For a PO, 42mm would be the smallest i would go.

[westberks]

nice watch, but i'd follow the above advice if i were you.

i'd try the 42mm too; 38.5 seems very small for a diver of that style, it maybe that you stick to the smaller face but i suspect that you'll get used to the larger size. try both before you buy.

don't bother going 'super size', but 42mm might work.

Cheers guys will try a 42mm on, as I said I have had the 37mm and it felt and looked right on my girl sized wrists

[ReaperCushions]

I have a 42... and I can't believe a 37 would look right on any blokes wrist personally.

I did find the 45 to big for me though

A mate has a 37mm quartz Seamaster; it does look rather too dainty.

I too have a 45. Don't think you will really like less than a 42. Just one point, make sure you order the watch with the bracelet and order any other straps you want later.

I originally placed the order for mine (full orange on orange strap), fortunately the dealer mixed up the order and it came on the bracelet. Cheaper to do it this way round than the other.

I have a 42 black (on a 6.5 inch wrist). I really wanted the 45 but I had to admit it was just too big. You'd be surprised how heavy these things are (with the bracelet).

[scotty_d]

Cheers for the tips. I think my best bet will be to try them on back to back and see what fits and feels right on me.

Today was a very good day. I bought one of these today

I tried 3 sizes on 37.5mm42mm and the 45mm

The advice on here was great and the 42mm was perfect. Very happy chappy now. Actual wrist pics to follow.
