What size The Twelve
I have been looking at purchasing The Twelve but cannot decide on the size my wrist is 6.75 inches any suggestions TIA.
Re: What size The Twelve
They wear smaller than the size listed. I have a 6.3" wrist and I prefer the 40mm. The 38mm works too but 36 looks small on me. Specially if you wear them on straps, the dial gets small.

^^^^ Help us out here.
What other watches do you have and do you like to wear your watches small, true or large?
It's all really down to your preference, not what we think.

I agree Guy. By the time the thread runs it’s course it will probably remind me of the experience of trying on a couple of 37mm and 41mm AP Royal Oak…
The sales assistant whose wrist was clearly smaller than mine favoured the 41mm that he was wearing.
I was of the opinion that the 37mm was a much better fit for my (then 7”) wrist and that the 41mm was only slightly less comical on my wrist than on the sales assistant’s.
All down to personal preference.
Other than that I will be of no help, as with my (now 6.75”) wrist I happily wear the following versions of the Twelve…
36, 40, 41 and will look to pick up a 38 at some stage.

Re: What size The Twelve
38 should do nicely

Cheers now, Paul
Re: What size The Twelve
38m should fit well. As others have said, it all depends on how you like to wear your watches.

Re: What size The Twelve
The only option available when I joined the Twelve club was the 40mm. Coincidentally, I have a 6.75" wrist and find that the 40mm Twelve Ti wears smaller than my 39mm Sealander. It's a clever design, the Twelve, and I find it works equally well on the bracelet or rubber strap.

Re: What size The Twelve
I agree with @Chris GB about it wearing a little smaller than you might expect. It’s betwixt and between, not entirely a dress watch and not entirely a sports watch. As with any watch, other factors come into play apart from case diameter: apparent dial size; width of bezel; type and length of lugs; shape and profile of your wrist, and so on.
My wrist is slightly under 18 cm (7.25 inches) and I generally prefer smaller watches. I was unsure about the 40 mm version until I tried it on. I find it perfect, so although a 38 mm should be a good fit, the larger one could well surprise you.

Re: What size The Twelve
Thanks for the replies is was moving towards a 38mm but not so sure now maybe the 40mm will be a good fit I have Cartier Santos 100 Medium size Ref 174305LX which fits nice although I think I would like to have the twelve a little larger than this watch and I would like it on the bracelet I know totally different shape .
Re: What size The Twelve
Definitely 38 mm will be good. I have a similar wrist and wore a 38 mm mMido multifort and it fit perfectly .
