3998p seeking advice
Dear Friends;
Thinking of getting one for myself; seeking opinion from current or previous owners in regards to aesthetics, wearability, value etc
It’s small at 34mm by today’s standards; how do you think it would suit my 7” wrist?
Any real life pics, wrist shots would be appreciated.
Thanks much in advance
Best regards

I was looking at this as a gift to myself for my 60th
That was ten years ago. It's a very lovely piece and pretty rare in platinum. I have about the same size wrist as you. My feeling is that with watches that are a bit small, I'm ok with it. It's functional art on my wrist. If it's too large or heavy - Rich...
Thanks for the input
I am looking at a black dial; do you have any pics to share? Bests
I might, I'll check
I know on Chrono24 there are a few. I may be a little detail oriented, but there are two types of numbers for the date. One is thicker and a bit rigid and one which is lighter in character (my preference - just an opinion) which allows the date window to ...
I would seek to try it on before you buy.
34 mm is very small by today's standards. With a 7" wrist -- neither big nor small -- you may be disappointed. Maybe consider a 5107 or 5127 instead.

Thanks so much for the information
