No SS bracelet and you can pull it off. Mesh/Milanese bracelet is a good substitute for smaller wrists.

Looks like you have about a 6.5”-ish wrist? Me too and I wear an SNK on a nato as my work beater and I’ve been wearing my SRPD basically all other times.

I purchased my SRPD on the Seiko nato and it made the watch sit much too high off my wrist but when I swapped in a Barton rubber strap - chef’s kiss! Just love the thing and it fits/looks amazing. Give it a try - Seiko has a knack for making watches wear smaller than they are.

I have several SRPD's and as stated above, the band or bracelet choice can make a huge difference. For smaller wrist I would suggest a Uncle Seiko curved end tropic or waffle band or Strapcode Beads of Rice (BoR) or Jubilee bracelet. The curved end rubber removes the gap and makes the watch look smaller than it is. The Strapcodes are on thinner sidesand more flexible links again giving the watch appearance of being smaller.
