It would not be my first choice, but my tastes vary from others.

 

I've a 34 mm Tudor prince date. Basically a 34 mm DJ. Fits my 6.65 in wrists quite well.

Originally a gift for my wife, but she never wears it so I do sometimes. She picked the dial, which is beautiful but legibility really sucks. I would have gone with the blue dial.

 

Really like the dial!

 

If you can pull it off, there are nice options.

 

I have 6.5 and I think anything 42 and down looks just fine.

 

I have a 6.75 inch wrist and wear a 31mm Rolex Speedking pretty much daily

 

I used to have this air king. It was one of the best looking dials I had seen on any rolex.

But I ended up selling it because it felt too dainty on my 6.75 in wrist.
However, at that time, big watches were all the rage and my other watches were Panerai and Breitling, both >44mm.
Now I am perfectly fine with smaller watches (actually prefer it) and wish I had never sold it.

Yeah, love the dial

 

I’m not a giant-watch-fan, but even 30 years ago I thought the 34mm models looked small. Not too small for watch but too small for a Rolex with bezel.

 

Go for the 34mm! In my opinion it would fit great with your wrist size. I have a Rolex 1500 with slightly larger wrists and I love it, no regrets here...

 

34mm Tudor and Omega on my 6.25" wrist.

 

I would try on a 34mm and wear it for a few minutes. Sometimes I’ll take off my Speedy Pro and put on a 33mm vintage Seamaster…it takes about 5 minutes for your eyes to adjust, but then it looks “right.”

I’d also look in a full length mirror with the watch on your wrist. I think you might find that 34-36mm looks a lot more natural on the wrist than larger case sizes.

Good advice.

 

The “right one” looks perfect.

 

I wore my DJ 36 for years on my 6.75” wrist so I reckon you’ll be just fine with 34mm.

 

IMO, I’m afraid it’s too small.

 

Ignore the naysayers. Nobody outside of this forum board gives a hoot, or would give it a second thought.

Too big watched do get second looks and some reactions.

Anyway, I wear a 32mm bubbleback and a 34mm OP on rivet bracelet. My wrist is 6.5" round.

That's a Terrific watch!

 

I tried to try this One(it's a 34mm and my wrist is 6.6in) but the bracelet was sized for a women, so i could not fit it in my hand 😅

 

A 34mm on a 6.5 inch wrist looks fine. It provides a similar proportional presence that a 36mm would on a 7.5 inch wrist

 

34/36mm perfect for your wrist.

 

I think it is too small. There are some things that do not have a linear size to wearer ratio.

A small person does not have to carry a small lighter, a small pocket knife, a small wallet or wear a small watch.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a wrist looking as big as it is.

 

My semi-vintage OP Date 34mm:

 

Dude - 34 mm was considered big a big watch for decades. Prices go way down below 36mm so if you like the watch you'll pay less as well - it's a win win

 

36 or 34 would look great too.

 

I have a 7.5" wrist and regularly wear two vintage pieces that are 33 and 34 respectively. I think they look great on the wrist -- really elegant and unobtrusive -- and they wear like a dream.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a vintage 34 Rolex. If I find the right one, I'll probably do it.

For comparison, my biggest watch is a 43 and while I love the watch, it's far less comfortable than my 33/34.

Given the above, I say go for it. With higher end vintage pieces (e.g., Rolex, JLC) there is a certain "presence" to the watch that allows for going smaller.

 

Considering your wrist size, I'd suggest trying both the 34 and 36mm versions if possible.

You don't even have to try the actual model. If you can find a cheap Casio or Seiko that looks similar and has the same size, you can always try that on to get a general idea of the best size.

 

I have a 7.25" wrist and wear between a 29mm vintage square and a 45mm breitling. 34 will not be too small for you or look out of place imo but only you can really be the judge. As noted, 34mm options will be much cheaper and i love some of the dial options, especially the blue arabic dial preciously posted.

 

Tastes vary but I would think it would be harder to sell if the decided you didn’t like it.

That's a fair point
