What is the smallest speed master?
I believe most the speed masters are 40mm is this correct?Do they make any that are smaller?I have a very skinny wrist and anything over 40mm looks too big. I currently have a date just which is 36mm and it fits me nice and was thinking a 16610 sub at 40mm , I like them better then the new ceramic because it is smaller. I have been eying the speed masters lately and fell in love and prob going to get one in the next few months so please let me know if t hey make anything smaller the 40mm
