Thread: Baby Dreadnought on 7.5 inch wrist ?

  1. #1

    Baby Dreadnought on 7.5 inch wrist ?

    Anyone with a similar wrist size with experience of the watch please advise if it will look ok or be too small ?
    I've looked at plenty of on the wrist photos but they can be deceiving size wise sometimes.

    I have an 8" wrist and it looks absolutely fine.

    I do like smaller sized watches, but the baby d is perfectly proportioned to my eyes. A true Goldilocks in the watch world.

    Agree with Nick, my wrist is just a shade over 8'' and the BD is perfect at 38mm, so much so that I've added a 38mm Squale to the collection.

    Sheesh, you're a tough crowd to please...

    Around 2017ish Squale cobbled together some NOS cases and dials from the 1980's with new quartz movements and 'voila' - TAG Heuer 1000 200m / Squale 1545 38mm it's a curious thing but even at 38mm I've found the size excellent on my 8'' wrist.

    Likewise, I stumbled across them one night on the interwobble and a WTB on here landed me this beauty.
