Yes it fits my wrist well. But there are other options out there for the sport watch...

5711/5712 (more expensive and needs a lot of patience in order to acquire one. Doesn't fit as well as the 5066 but it's acceptable)
Vacheron Constantine Overseas Small Model 37mm (will be arriving in September before I can try the fit. Love the interchangeable 3 straps option idea and less expensive then 5711)
What's your opinion?

Of these two I prefer the VC.

Looks cleaner to me sans date, and the 37mm is a very versatile size. Looks like it would work well for casual and formal occasions. The aquanaut doesn't appeal to me at all, although it certainly has a strong following.
None of the Aquanauts is really my catch.

If you are looking for a sports watch with 37 mm diameter, why not considering AP 15450ST...03 (new blue dial). IMO, also more desirable than VC Overseas. Or if you are prepared to spend more, try a RO frosted gold ;-). Best, Volker
it looks great on your wrist

have you considered Patek 3800/1A? There are many dial varieties to choose from and size could work. I do think the 5066 has far more character than many other watches so if it speaks to you why wait? Just go with your gut feel!
+1 for the 3800

I use to have one. perfect for a small wrist, low profile. the blue with a little patina (since they are all going to be a little aged) really pops. At times i regret selling it. mine was ~$12k.
3800 remained in production until 1996...

Several for sale now on C24. Still 20years old I realize, but not impossible to find a well loved example. Alternatively I'm sure Patek could restore one to like new condition for you, if you have the time and patience.
Size is subjective and objctive
By: ingo5711 : May 25th, 2017-12:52
Size is a very subjective issue, but also objective. There are limits to how big or small a watch can be but, even it this case, if the owner likes it like that then he shouldn't do otherwise because some people expressed something different. Just giving ...
