"Wrist Envy"?

Do people with small wrists have "wrist envy"? I'm just curious. Btw my wrist is 7.5 inches which is not huge but I'm happy with it. I can pretty much wear any watch that I wish.

My wrist is about 6.75" and i have never looked at another mans wrist with envy

To be honest i'm more than happy with skinny wrists, you see some guys with podgy wrists that doesn't look right at all

Good God I want a Panerai so bad! But with my matchstick wrists they would certainly snap from the pure weight of it.
I`m not sure I even have 6,5" wrists, I will not measure them again cause I just cant handle the truth
Envy? Envy?! Darn right I envy people with bigger wrists! i want a Panerai! And a Planet ocean, and a Blancpain, but can I? Noooooooo, not for me
40mm is the biggest I can go, and whats that? A panerai is 44mm and up you say? OOOooooh, reeeally!
Yeah, I know I got issues....

Nope, I do not have wrist envy. I have small wrist but since I wear my watches on the underneath side of my wrist, I can wear any watch I want!!!

I have a small wrist 6.75 and no envy on my end. I love what I have and would not change anything.

Wrist is 6.5" which can be a nuisance. But at times it works out as I got a Datejust at the right money because the bracelet was small and no one was willing to fork out money on a new one.

They will no doubt get bigger and I will be spending a fortune on spare links to wear all the things!!

I'm not envious of anybody's wrist, what they are wearing on their wrist, now that's a different matter.

As for wrist envy, I have smaller hands and wrists than any other person above the age of ten I know. I hardly find things to fit my wrists, but the only decoration I need is that little bone that sticks out!
I still need to find a way to steal Aadil's beautiful DJ and sneakily get the links taken out so that it can stay on!

Call me naive, but I don't believe this guy ever discussed "wrist envy" in any of his writings.

I have a 6.5 left wrist due to a break when I was a young boy. I could wear my Expy II on my right wrist.....but I like it on the left.

I don't envy other peoples wrist as much as my own right wrist..... which is just about right for me as it wasn't broken and it just right.
