Small wrists, small watch, no worries

Thanks for the info - I’ll keep it in mind when referring to my own wrist size in future. I’m still rather sceptical on how solid that data is - and like another famously debated ‘average’ size, I wonder if there’s an element of reporting bias.
At the end of the day, I’m still happy to call it small in the hopes of people seeing it in real life and saying ‘ Oh it’s bigger than I thought’.
Is that widely known? That’s honestly the first I’ve ever heard that.
I guess I’m judging my own wrist size off my local community to be fair.
I think we’re all coming to the realisation that the perfect watch doesn’t exist (mostly, and within reason). I think the tipping point is finding a watch with flaws that aren’t exactly deal breakers that you can put up with until eventually you no longer see them, or you can see past them.
Alternatively, you continue to see them and nothing else about the watch. And then you flip it.
Also - the SPB143 - the thickness of the bezel burnt the deal for me. Following the more vintage proportions would have been an instant deal but instead it looks a little too far removed for me.
That being said I bought it anyway and sold it after a month.
