Going smaller….
How does this look to you? This is probably the smallest watch I’ve gone with. I was concerned it wouldn’t look right on wrist, but I was willing to risk it because I wanted a classically styled watch of this type to be more vintage sized. Gray market dealer listing didn’t help at all: it is listed as a ladies watch (even though Hamilton doesn’t describe it as such on their website), and the measurements are given for the case (27.3mm x 31.1mm), but the lug to lug (41.5mm) is not provided at all. I think it all turned out in the end. My wrist is 17.5cm btw…

Comfort will tell you if it's a good fit and we can't tell you how that will turn out. Either GADA or watch box queen
Looks good. These square/rectangular watches can get away with smaller sizes👌
Looks beautiful!
Looks pretty good to me 👍
Hammy Boulton is an excellent choice! 💯🔥🫡🙌🏻
Looks a little big for my taste. But I think you can pull it off. 👌
Looks exactly what a watch that style should look.
Great.
Looks perfect to me. Like the blue croc strap
You could go smaller even. But looks good as is
Looks great on you
You get my thumbs up 👍
I have the very same piece (and an 18cm wrist), and I love it. I believe it only feels small when you're coming from wearing a larger watch (my goldilocks size is typically 38mm), but the truth is that dress watches like this are best in "classic" dimensions, which look especially sharp under a suit jacket.
Fit looks perfect to me
Looking great on u!
Looks great. Smaller would be even better imo.
Looks correct and great
Nice watch!
Looks great
I love it man! Looks great! have a 7” wrist and wore a 32mm vintage piece today. Wear what you like!

Thank you!
You get my thumbs up 👍
Appreciate it!
looks fine - as others have said, the 'normal' ideas of big and small get a bit squiffy for square and (especially) rectangular watches.
Broadly speaking the observable area/visual size of a 28mm rectangular watch is about the same as a 34-35mm round watch - given the slight bow in the sides of that and the white dial the visual impact is likely to be closer to a 36-37mm watch.
Also depends a lot on wrist shape -just as lug to lug is more important than case diameter, wrist 'span' is more important than wrist circumference.
One question about comfort though - looks very tight.
Thanks! Re: looking tight. The strap is pretty stiff and it is compressing the sides of my wrist instead of wrapping around. I will work the leather a bit and hopefully it will look and feel better.
Nice watch!
You too lol!
I have a 6 inch wrist and think the smaller size wears like a postage stamp. The large looks good. The dial of this watch takes up less area than a 36mm round watch.
Amazing watch. Love this line
Appreciate the feedback!
Oh and by the way “Imajica” is one of my favorite books, so thanks for that. 😄
Looks great 👌🏻
Looks like it fits just right
Perfect!
