Hello everybody,
I am new to this forum and have a question.
I am thinking of buying a YG Da Vici ref. 3750 39 mm. However, I don't know if the watch is too small for me considering the fact that I am 1,90 meter tall?
I have seen in the catalogue that many watches from IWC are 39 mm (some classic pilots, spitfires and portofiinos) and for example the annual calenders from Patek as well.
Does this mean that 39 mm is a size that fits everybody?
I appreciate your reactions.
da vinci ref. 3750
IMO I would say that the size would be fine.
I know of several persons who are approximately the same height as your goodself and they wear watches that are approx 40mm in dimension.
But the most simplest way, would be to try it on and see how it fits.
I would be very interested in your decision.
As today i shall be looking at the later model 3758 - but in a S/S disguise and that is slightly larger at 41.2mm. By the way I am 5'8'' in height
Good luck with your prospective purchase.
no problem....
it is all a matter of personal taste. for example a iwc mk xi or ingenieur 666/766 among others is even smaller.
i you like it, buy it and enjoy it for a long time !

What I learned over the years is that...
...you can't really tell untill you tried it on. Sound obvious, but the ration between thickness and diameter is maybe even more important than 'just' diameter.
Moreover, the width of the bezel is also visually quite important!
I must say that 39 for me (with relatively small wrists and almost 1.90 m.) is an ideal size. But almost all Portugueses (typically at 42 mm) are perfect too!
Again, go and try it on if you can (the real thing I mean, not just another 39 mm) and enjoy the anticipation.
Groet,

Welcome to the forum
and as Bob suggests - get it on your wrist and let your emotions speak.
Good Luck
