Rolex TOG/Super Jubilee on a 5.5" Wrist-- With PICS!!

Today is my Wife's birthday, and she has wanted a "midsize" watch for quite some time. I purchased one from 'George Ab' quite some time ago for her. I thought that a TOG with a white dial and a jubilee bracelet would be the "look" that she was searching for. I asked George about sizing it to a wrist that was only 5.5 inches, and he was gracious enough to have a female friend try it on that had a similarly-sized wrist.

I have been a bit apprehensive about sizing it small enough for her, but the day has finally arrived, and..............BINGO!!!!! With all the removable links out, it fits her wrist perfectly. She is excited, and loved it right away. That is really saying something because she is typically hard to please.

What do you think??

Looks good. Please consider that one as gone forever as you might as well sell those removed links because I don't think they will ever be put back on so you can wear it again.

I had the same issue with my daughter's TT Bluesy. In the end, it all worked out. I love bigger watches on ladies, I really do.

Great choice! I have planning to get my wife either the blue or black dial TOG one of these days. She has worn the midsize electric blue Omega SMP 300 for a few years and wants her Rolex to be "sporty" with the "spinny thing" LOL. We tried a 14060M and it is a tad too large for 5.5" wrists.
