Yes - my wrists are 6.5 inches - usually wear the watch on the last hole .. unless particularly hot weather.
the watch looks and feels fine ( not too big for my wrists ).
the diameter and lug to lug span are slightly smaller than many other dive watches ... hence why it works for smaller wrists.
Never done this to any other watch,I only decided to do it to this because IT IS a keeper and wanted a more weathered and used look rather than the shiny bezel as it was.....that was the only reason and for me it works.
The pics are above,it's only the bezel that I've changed.

see attachment for fit on 6.5 inch wrist.
the lugs do not overhang my wrist .. just looks that way on the photo...

another pic on skinny wrist
I have 6.5" wrists and the watch is a perfect size and is a fantastic watch just get one.
Agreed, the watch is perfect for 6.5 wrists due to the short lug-to-lug length...
There are incredibly few options like this for slimmer guys, just get it :)
I personally found the rubber strap just a tad large (could have used one more position)
but that may come down to your wrist bones, and there are so many strap options as illustrated here.
I have mine on Eddie's terrific black NATO (5th smallest position)
Looks spot on on the Oyster bracelet.
I've shipped the last one today, there won't be any more until April (perhaps).

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
PRS 82 & friends
sadly it has to go, i cant keep' em all...so it is for sale due to the arrival of a long awaited graal (a chrono)
cracking watch nevertheless, this little 82
Looking for something vintage and settling on these at the mo:
Steveo Para
And Gobo
That gobo strap looks particularly good... Is that also the shop / retailer name?
I saw the Gobo on SC on here.
Pete
Love the Gobo, but really do not like the Steveo Para -hardly looks vintage to me!
I must admit - I think it looks good on both straps :-)
Someone liked theirs enough to think the PRS-82 was underpriced: link .
Edit:
Having done a quick recalculation...you're right. I must have got something very wrong the first time!
My apologies to Johnzalez.

Thanks! The more I wear it the more it feels like they were meant for each other.

I've just bought one of these sort of by accident. I had not planned to buy one - although have really liked the idea of it since launch - as I like a date on watches, but now I am really looking forward to receiving this...... I think Rubber for me, or admiralty grey nato :)
Mine has stayed on the rubber so far...
Eddie do you know yet when the PRS-82 will be back in stock, you mentioned April in an earlier post
Or have they come back into stock and sold out again as I quite fancy one for an upcoming holiday
I asked Eddie about the next batch a few weeks ago and he said they're supposed to arrive some time in June but that's not certain.
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one and judging by the photos in this thread I'm pretty sure it will be worth the wait :)
definitely a must have, the PRS82.
mine is now on a perlon NATO, after the rubber, and various nylon nato straps
maybe for the summer the original rubber will make a comme back
Looks like there are a few of us eagerly awaiting these to come back in stock! I tend to have an envious browse of this thread at least once a day Lovely photos guys.
I mentioned this in another thread, the one about water resistant leather straps. Mine is currently on a DiModell and looks the biz!
That's a beauty Jim. Great strap looks spot on! I'm trying to have less watches and then read 20 pages of this thread and now I want one of these! :(
