Three years into collecting serious watches now. I guess next up will be a chronograph and GMT. Boxes don't need to be ticked off, but I like some variation / dress for the occasion. Only real criterium is that a watch fits my wrist. Since I have a smaller wrist, do you guys have any suggestions based on my collection? I was thinking about a Speedmaster (but not sure about the size) or a Carrera 39.
