PAM372 on 6" wrist

I really love the PAM372 (and 127 for that matter) but I'm not sure I can pull off a 47mm watch. I have a 6" wrist so I'll definitely need an XS strap. Does anyone here have a 6" wrist and a 47mm PAM? If so, can you post some pictures? The only watch I have now is my DJII 116300 which, I believe, is 41mm. I can't imagine what a 47mm would look like.

I have a 6.5" wrist and I could not pull it off. WAY TOO BIG! 42mm was perfect for me. 392,535,523

Even though the 372 wears a bit smaller than it's 47mm IMO, it's still a big watch and I barely pull it off with a flat 7 3/8 wrist. That being said, it doesn't wear all that much larger than the 000 it replaced.

Try it on and in a full length mirror. Makes a world of difference to see a 372 (or any watch) in proportion to not only your wrist but your whole body. And still, even if others think it looks too big... If you love it, rock it proudly and people will think it looks great on you.

I think it looks fine. I have small wrists too but wear a 425.

Just have to get over it. The size that is.

I have tried to believe that a 47mm watch would fit on even a 6.5 wrist...it's just too large. 40-42 fits about perfect, 44 is max.

I'd think 40mm would be perfect, maybe 44mm max. I've got a 6.5" wrist and have a 40mm 121. I have tried 44mm PAMs and think that's the upper limit

it really depends, I would go to an AD and try one out.

I have 6.5" wrist and think 47mm is too big for my wrist size. And 44mm Luminor case is just about right.

Even though this is definitely a trend, I personally do not like the look of a large watch like this on a smaller wrist. It looks like a wall clock. It works for Flavor Flav though....

My wrist is 6.25, and 44mm fits nicely but I would not go larger.
I guess it is a matter of taste.
