1675/16750 wearable on smaller wrists?

[vancity]

Just curious to see if anyone has any experience with this. I'm a skinny guy by way of gene pool and have a 6.25inch wrist (expands to perhaps 6.5 on hot days).

I used to wear the Omega PO (42mm) but got rid of it as it was a tad too large and heavy. I believe the 1675/16750 are quoted at 40mm, but some questions:

1. How do they feel on wrists of my size?
2. Can the bracelets come down to this size? Would a permanent link need to be removed?
3. Is there any difference between the 1675 and 16750 in "wrist presence"?
4. Does anyone have an pictures comparing these rolexes to an Omega PO 42mm?

Thanks!!

My wrist is a shade under 6.75", and I find my 1675 wears perfectly (as did my 16750 with the same case). I've owned a couple of 42mm POs, and found the PO to sit a bit too tall on the wrist for my liking. You should be fine, though will likely need a link or links removed from the bracelet. . .

The 1675 case is thin (vs. the PO) and wears quite comfortably. I agree with jwalther in that you would need to remove a link but that is no big deal.

The 1675 case is identical to that of the 16750.

I also have a 6.75" wrist, and the 16750 fits fine. It would wear a little larger on your wrist. It depends on your perception of size more than anything.

Here is wrist shot of mine:

1. The thin case GMTs are perhaps the most comfortable watch I've ever worn.

2.Yes. The 78360 has removable links that combined with the fine adjustment in the clasp should work fine. Fit is always a matter of proper sizing. Less links on the 6O'clock side as opposed to the 12..usually.

3. No for matt dial 16750s and I'll say yes for latter gloss WG 16750s.

4. Don't have side by sides. I've worn a 42 PO. The GMT will wear smaller.

I have a matte dial 16750, and very slim wrists. And I can safely say that the 16750 is extremely comfortable. I've worn it all day under production work conditions, and no complaints whatsoever. The balance seems just right, and the band (in this case, a jubilee) is smooth and non-abrasive, and the crown doesn't jam into the back of my hand ( a problem I once had with a vintage Hamilton.) I used to have an Omega Speedmaster, and the 16750 is far more comfortable.

I have both the oyster and the jubilee for my 16750 "R" series and my wrist is about 6.75.
I prefer the comfort of the jubilee over the oyster and I think it can be adjusted smaller then the oyster also.

Beautiful photo of your 16750...
Somehow the jubilee just seems to work with the GMT/Pepsi combo.
I've been thinking of buying a 93150 bracelet for my GMT, but every time I see a photo like this, I decide to stick with my Jubilee.
