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...

I might, I'll check

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.
Happy 3998P silver no diamonds owner here for roughly a decade...
I have 6.6" wrists and prefer smaller watches with the 3998P being my smallest. While the watch is small, the dial is not. It is the same size as the dial of my 5711/1A. I use the 3998P no matter what I am wearing and wouldn't trade it for a 39mm 5227 or ...
Thanks so much for the information
