Musigny82 grapples with a common collector's dilemma: balancing personal aesthetic preference with perceived wrist fit. His query about whether the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1, with its distinctive design and thickness, might overpower his less than 6-inch wrist sparks a lively debate on watch size, personal style, and the subjective nature of what 'fits.' This discussion offers valuable insights for anyone considering a significant watch purchase for a smaller wrist.
for you, the sax looks perfect, no bigger. Good luck!
Both the Lange 1 (38mm) and Thin (37mm) look large. There is the Saxonia 219.032 (35mm) which might work for you. The important thing is the right fit. A heavy watch can be contained under cuffs. But, a loose watch will shift around and annoy you. Is the Lange strap stiff? A simple pin buckle means that the watch has to fit loose. You can't release the pin buckle if the fit is tight. So, is the strap right for you?
but the Saxonia size does seem to suit your wrist better and looks fantastic. Of course they are very different in that the Sax is a pure dress watch whilst the other has large date, power reserve and sub seconds so I suppose it depends on what you want from the watch and the circumstances in which you would wear either of them and get the most pleasure. Hope this helps. Regards Kev
I recommend trying a 35 mm saxonia. Best, Ahmed
But more importantly - if it feels right to you then it is!
The size does not matter, only how you feel wearing it.
