Virtually no demand for them, simple as. In my experience, most go for a ladies' or a gents' size, I think I've had one enquiry for a mid-size YM in the past two years.

I went to my local AD (Shreve's) in San Fran a couple of days ago to figure out what to buy her. They had at least 15-20 Midsize in stock. I didn't think they were that hard to find - is that not your experience?

When I first got into quality watches, I bought a mid-size Omega because I thought my 6.5 " wrists were too small. Big mistake. Ended up selling that and going 40mm + .

Never looked back.

Couldn't agree more. 31mm on a man's wrist doesn't look that impressive. As a ladies watch, I think the 31mm is perfect though. The 26mm looks a bit small and flimsy unless the wrist is petite IMO. My wife liked the 31mm much better.

It's my dad's. He has smallish wrists, so it looks perfect on him.
