Would a 40mm Yacht master 16623 be too heavy for a gal? Has diamond bezel, SS band.

Sorry - sp... Yacht Master

Wrist about 6 1/2 to 6 3/4".
Senior age but not a senior age.... :-)

Your opinion matters...... Thanks.

Honestly, it likely weighs less than a solid gold ladies Date Just and your wrist is an adequate size to pull it off, so, no I don't think it's too heavy. My daughter used to borrow my no date sub on occasion and 40 mm looked great on her. She certainly never complained about the weight. I'd say go for it!

MAYBE
....If she is used to wearing a ladies sized watches 23mm or less....
Or doesn't wear a watch at all, then it would probably feel huge and too heavy for her.

If she wears watches regularly 34mm and up she probably be ok.

6.5 wrist + looks fine with 40mm watch.


BUT the most important thing....the description of the watch.....Is this a franken watch?
....Diamond bezel and SS band.
It should have gold bezel and 2 tone band (SS and gold) Please post pic

Not really. My gal loves to wear mine. However, the Hulk is her favorite.

Brandon ...
Watch found online, and I am unsure about photographer rights, therefore reluctant to try to copy and post here.
The bezel appears to be a custom diamond gold bezel.
I am going to inquire about its weight.
Thanks much for your input.
