I know a woman with tiny little wrists who wears a Daytona - kinda looks cool tbh.

I have approx. 71/4" wrist and have a 47mm Pan.

Does it look big - Yes

Do I care - No

Its personal choice, no right or wrong answer.

I'd recommend the 36 OP with the steel (silver) dial. It's beautiful. I wish they offered that in the 39mm version. You can't go wrong with a 36mm Datejust either.

Depends on how small we're talking. I consider my wrist pretty damn small at ~6.5 inches. The 5 digit sports cases wear perfectly and I also love the way the 36mm models wear.

Lug to lug distance is really the important factor with smaller wrists. As long as the lugs don't overhang I'd consider that a good fit.

This is true, but I have 7” inch wrists and I think the Sub is fine for me, but barely. The dial is not the issue. The supercase is. I think you’re really pushing it if you have 6.5 inches or less wrist size. IMHO.

DJ or OP unless you have tiny wrists you can still pull the DJ41

Depends on what you are after. Sport watches, the 1016 is super cool and wears great. Daytona's wear small--smaller than the listed size. Tudor made a mini Sub. OP's come in a variety of sizes and set ups. Of these, the 1016 would by my pick

A little dressier, DD or DJ.

Really, any of the 34-36mm Rolex/Tudor watches would work.

does anyone have handy the data on lug-to-lug length for the Rolex line? I'd be curious, in particular, to see whether the L2L lengths of the 34mm and 36mm OPs differ.

From what I've seen, the OP 34 is 43.5mm lug to lug, and the OP 36 is 45.6mm.

If you search Watchbox Reviews on YouTube, Tim does great reviews and always goes over these kinds of specs.

If you like vintage, consider a manual wind 34mm like the 6426 or 6427. Very flat profile, demure case size, clean looking dial. And, they're a bargain....

6694?

6694 is a nice option. Have had larger models like 16753, 5513, 16750. 6.5" wrist and all fit ok. The 6694 probably fits best, but is see a Sub in the future....
