Hi
I am a newbie here, and looking for some info.I am wanting to buy a cwc divers watch or another cwc waterproof watch. The problem is that i have really small wrists and was wundering if there are any with mid size faces.I cannot get onto the sale forum until i have my 50 posts.

As far as I know, CWC only have two versions of diver's watches, both of wihich are around 40-41mm across. I used to have one and it was fine on my 7 inch wrist. I'm not sure how much smaller you could go though, in terms of wrist size.

Later,

The CWC doesn't wear all that large because the dial is unusually small for a watch of that size and it's not very tall.

Consider a Vostok Amphibia if you want a smaller divers watch. Mine's only 38mm.

Do a search here on the forum for the terms "amphibia" and "amphibian". That will get you a good start.

Here are mine. Old and new. Solidly built USSR and Russian watches and cheap enough that you will want more than one. I wouldn't recommend diving in an old one unless the seals have been replaced.









And the CWC for comparison, which is a great watch, but it can cost 10 times as much!

how much would it cost for a new CWC like the one in the picture?
