    pretty sure this topic has been covered many times previously...still, with all pilots gathering in Geneva....would it be possible to get comments and associated photos of BPs on small wrists...say 6.75-7inch??

    You should have absoloutly no issues with a BP.

    My wrist is 7" and easily wear up to 48mm. Here's a few pics of the BP on my wrist......................

    I second that. I took the opportunity in Geneva and asked Michael and some other fellow collectors for their honest opinion on the Big Pilot strapped to my 7" wrist. While the watch looks big indeed, they all independently stated that this watch has its name for a reason. I has to be big. They convinced me.

    Nad, these are truly impressive watches. Congrats!

    yitzhak, hope you're well...

    i'm a big pilot nut as you may or may not know...

    and this despite having a 6.5 inch wrist! in fact my wrist is so small i have to wear a XS strap.

    let me know which specific BP model you'd like to see on a wrist... chances are i've got a photo with my puny wrists.

    regards,
    thang

    Yitzhak,

    No worry on the 6.5" wrist for the BP, I am enjoying mine as my wrist size is at that size.

    You will love it.

    Such a great collection, and lovely wrist to match Nad !!
    With a watch like that and it`s presence there is no need to worry about wrist size, the watch says it all.

    Must ad, in spite of all the great new models 2016, for now i still prefer the ref 5002 with font, lay out, and that super cool long second hand with paddle on the short balance end. It is exquisite.

    My favorite Big Pilot from SIHH on my 6.5" - 7" wrist:

    My great pleasure, Mark! It is oh so nice to meet people like you, who share the fetish for blue sunburst dials. :-)
    I hope next time we will have more time to talk and drool over all those beautiful watches.

    Hello Francis,
    good to hear from you and thanks for your impressions from a small wrist size correlation with a BP...tried something out there but additional feedbacks always of course help..
    you may remember, your impressions of the regulateur, were very useful when I got mine...never looked back..
    cheers,

    It fits you nicely. I love the BPs.

    Best would be to put one on your wrist at AD and make your own opinion about it. A mirror will help. There are also some good salespersons out there who will guide you to find the ideal Pilotwatch for you.
