Calling All Ladies - Share Your "Men's-Size" Watches!

Hello TRF!

You may have come across my previous posts; I am a woman with 6" wrists and wear a Rolex 40mm 116622 Yacht-Master Blue. I understand they may not be everyone's cup of tea but I also know I'm not alone. It may be a fad or it may be here to stay, either way, I'd like to see fellow ladies wearing "big" watches. Show us your Subs, Daytonas, and more!

PS. Feel free to "borrow" your boyfriend/husband's watch (with his permission, of course) to share.

I'll start:

Great choice, I remember your incoming thread. Looks big on you but still looks good.

I'm not a lady but my wrist is just over 6". To think, I used to wear a DSSD daily!

On behalf of my wife. Top picture is her 36mm op which I believe to be man size. Picture 2 is her minding my Exp 42mm while I played beach volleyball on holiday this year.

That 36 mm OP looks the perfect proportion of wrist:watch to me. Very nice!

Any shots of the DSSD on your wrist, from the top?

Found these two. Hope they give some idea of the fit. I found it very comfortable on the bracelet actually, no issues with the size or fit. The rubberB strap on the other hand was unwearable due to the angled attachment angle. Made it wear like a big submersible bangle!

Thank you! Men with smaller wrists are most certainly welcome!

If you can manage a few photos, I would like to see. I've always worn my watches closer to my hand but I'm starting to experiment with wearing it past my wrist bone, closer to my elbow.

For those of you who have contributed, thank you for sharing and keep them coming!

I took my SO to the shop to check out the ladies Rolexes. She didn't even bother looking at them and immediately said "too small" and went to the men's watches. She liked one of the DJs. I also had her try on the DaytonaC that they had which wasn't for sale. She preferred the white dial DaytonaC, as do I.

Some fantastic pics and great watches ladies.

They all wear well, and I think there is no issue with size on a ladies wrist.

I like the look of the bigger watches on the ladies. Cool and sexy at the same time.

Doh, I was looking to get my girlfriend a Speedy Reduced with the mother of pearl face for her 30th birthday, but I think you have convinced me that it will be just a bit big for her as her wrists are the same size.

Hard to tell from that angle, but I imagined it looking huge on your wrist, but it appears to be ok! Nice! :)

Not sure if you would consider 34mm a mans watch but it was my first Rolex and now my wife wears it.
