I wish I had smaller wrists because I love vintage stuff. I wear a 40-41mm. But I can't pull off a 35mm vintage omega ๐ข
It's funny because I'm the opposite. Have a 6.5" wrist and while I love some smaller watches, there are a plethora of cool designs and pieces I want, but can't wear because they're 42-46mm.
i think anyone can pull off smaller watches, the problem is that you can't pull them off wearing casual modern clothing, i think modern shoes (brightly coloured, thick soles) especially do not work with smaller watches, if you wear simple clothing, casual but smarter than average, you can easily pull a smaller watch off.
take a look at these photos, all of them are wearing small watches, but they don't look out of place;

you just need to wear clothes that are not obviously modern, and the same advice in reverse would apply if you were trying to pull a vintage suit or some other type of vintage clothing off: don't wear a massive modern steel watch, or anything too busy. it just wouldn't look right.
