Best Size 3-Hand for 6.5”?
Really liking the Resolute. Which size case do you think is best for 6.5”, rather flat wrist?
Assuming 36mm since so much of the watch is dial, but would love to hear thoughts.

Yep, 36mm for a watch with thin dials. 38-40 for watches with thicker bezels. 42 if the lug-to-lug is short. These are not hard rules, just guidelines from my 6.5” flat wrist as well. You’ll know for sure when you try it on.
I'd be tempted with the 36 despite having a 7.5" wrist.

Not all 36 or even 40 are the same. Lugs, case shape, dial, etc, all play. That Farer is awesome though and is a good example when most of the watch is dial, 36 wears a lot bigger.
I have 6.5" wrists as well and find that 36-37-38mm watches with <45mm lug-to-lug work best for me for watches without a bezel. I can stretch to 39mm for a dark dial if I really love the watch, but it's out of my golden zone.
Also, my wrist looks less like Barbie's arms with a small watch. It's flattering. 😂
