The smaller one. The big one doesn't sit as well on your wrist & that's something shortening the bracelet won't fix: the poorer wrist fit is because the initial links (the curved ones on either side of the face) are larger than those on the smaller watch.
Because my wrists are so small, I decided on an Ebel Classic Mini-Wave (gold and stainless, no diamonds). I have 5 watches but the Mini-Wave is my favorite: it's so comfortable, the dial is easy to read even though it's just 24 mm. across, and it's never needed a repair in the 15 years I've worn it. ENJOY!

Thanks so much everyone for your helpful suggestions!
I did not mention that I am 53....and the general concensus among my friends that saw the watches IRL was that while the larger watch was very pretty, they preferred the smaller one on me.
I also asked a couple of co-workers that were in their 20's, and they said that the big one would look more fitting on a younger person.....I did ask them to be honest!
I do NOT think all large watches on older women are too 'young' ( I would wear a big J12 any day of the week! ) but I tended to agree in this case.....they said it would be OK if I was wearing a trendy outfit, but if I were wearing what I had on today the smaller one was better.
I definitely would prefer a more neutral face, but these were on sale and the white face was double the price of the blue.....the blue face actually looks kind of Grey most of the time ( except in the sun ) so I can live with the color and save substantial bucks!
Thanks again for helping me out !

I have always loved the ebel watch. i think they are delicate, classy and whether you wear them for daytime or night, they always look perfect. i think the small one is really the epitome of what an ebel watch is known for. it is a really pretty watch!
I received these two Ebel watches today, and need to decide between the two!
Both are Silver, I think from the Beluga collection.
Both have diamonds around the case ( or at least diamond chips!)
One is larger with a White Mother-of-Pearl face, and the other is smaller with a very pale blue Mother-of-Pearl face.
I love them both.....I am leaning toward the smaller one just because I think it is a bit less bling-y, more understated.....but then again I like the big one too!
Any input would be appreciated !
I love them both! hmmmm i like the bigger one a little more though!
