Hello

Looking for some thoughts on which first watch.

I Have very small wrists so would need a 26-28mm. I really liked the new Salmon Tudor Royal but they are out of stock. I went and tried on a few more and these are my thoughts

  • the Claire de rose. Delicate, looks nice and subtle. Historical looking watch -1926 - I liked the black face with the rose gold strap
  • wait for the Salmon royal to come back (they estimated 20 weeks but could be less)

My budget is under £3,000 so they all fit within that

Would love some thoughts from the watch community

Out of those, I'd go for the 1926, personally.

I checked out the Claire de Rose IRL and wasn't really a fan. I can't put my finger on what exactly I didn't like. Maybe the proportions are a little bit weird, and it's kind of reminiscent of a Ballon Bleu but doesn't quite pull it off?

I really like the Black Bay 31mm.

5.5" wrists.
