Best SMALL Watch

I'm having trouble in deciding which to purchase. I mainly want these watches because they're great, small watches.

I understand how I can't really go wrong with either but I still would like to here others' take on it or any additional alternatives I can eye.

To add a bit more info, I do value thinness and shorter lug-to-lug the most.

I've been rocking a Nomos Ahoi Datum for 5 years as my GADA and I truly love it, but the long L2L has gotten in the way of slipping under my sleeves sometimes.

That being my only complaint and made me want a watch that can slide under the cuff easily.

I plan on treating the next watch the same way as my Ahoi. I wear it everyday and in all settings (from weddings to marathons).

I don't really subscribe to specific occasions needing specific types of watches so versatility isn't really important for me since I'd wear the watch anyway even if it's not necessarily appropriate.

How a watch feels on the wrist and how you personally connect with the it would be what I'm looking for the most in terms of insight. Of course, you can always just vote without dropping any comments either.

Thank you and I really ppreciate your votes/inputs.

If you can get the Rolex, get the Rolex. All Tudors eventually become easy to come by and there's always at least one desperate seller at all times.

Not saying that can't happen for the Rolex, but it's historically more unlikely.

Check the specs on the Hamilton Murph 38. It’s great on the Uncle bracelet. It might work for you and save a lot of money.

Of the choices above, Explorer, naturally.

Went with explorer 36 because of my experiences with my BB54. The long lugs on the BB54 work really well though.

Explorer would be more versatile I think. Sure it's more expensive but historically it holds it's value well. You can find an explorer on the pre-owned market very close to retail too.

I have both and u can’t go wrong indeed. Explorer is a lot more versitle (so it got my vote) @ double the price though. If you take price into factor, BB54 may actually take the crown as best midsize watch of them all (pun intended)
