What watch do you love, but just can't buy/wear because it doesn't suit your wrist / skin tone / whatever?

Personally I love some of the larger 42mm-44mm dive watches, but I have skinny wrists so most just look too big on me.

There’s loads. I don’t consider myself to have thin wrists but they’re more round so a lot of watches look huge and overhang.

With that being said. Some of the watches I’ve loved tried on and had to say no to.

Submariner. Had a bi metal blue that lasted 6 months before being traded in.

Monaco. Even to this day I try one on every once in a while and it looks like a pillow strapped to my wrist such a shame it’s such a beautiful watch.

Omega chrono stop. Loved in pics but could never get on with in real life. Tbh most omegas seem to look better in pics or on other people. I’ve got an old Genevieve that I hardly wear. The only one I’ve tried and thought would work is a constellation.

Hydro quest or whatever the dual crown one is called. Again just looked huge.

Various breitlings again just huge. Panerai as well.

I wonder if they do wrist augmentation surgery haha. May look into that lol.

Cartier Santos. The largeness and the shape just didn't suit my little wrists. Ended up trying a carrier tank automatic (doesn't look or feel that much smaller) because I just didn't think the Santos suited me.

Daytona's, lovely watches but just feel too small on the wrist for me.
