What watch do you wear?

What watch do guys suggest for somebody with a skinny forearm/wrist?

Ev0 · 23 Apr 2012 at 21:56

You'll be surprised how big you can go with relatively small wrists, my arms are pretty small and a 42mm PO fits nicely, wouldn't want anything bigger.

SpeedFreak · 23 Apr 2012 at 22:01

It's also a bit like shoes in a way. One brand's size 8 is another's size 9. I know that sounds strange but 42mm widths can appear larger or smaller depending on the piece in question. I would suggest trying as many out in person as you can. You will also find that retailers can get pretty close to online prices and I am happy to pay a premium to try before buying.

I wear just a cheapo one, but Buzz's hand fell off so can only guess at the hour

Chris344 · 24 Apr 2012 at 19:11

I decided to return the PO and have now settled for the new SMPc, I simply love this watch

I'm a fan of Seiko watches myself, would love a Grand Seiko at some point. This is what I have at the moment:

More than likely its getting thrown up by anyone using dropbox for their pics. asquared sometimes shows that it blocks it for me.

I think I fancy a Marine Master 300m next myself.

Got a scratch on my favorite watch face

Tried the toothpaste trick but it's a bit too deep. Any idea how much it costs to have it removed properly? It wasn't a hugely expensive watch ($200) so obviously I don't want to spend a silly amount.

Suck it up. You'll spend ~1/4 of the watch value getting the scratch polished out.

psd99 · 21 May 2012 at 22:03

I already got a silver and a brown watch

looking for a white one

I see many wearing this colour or black but I veer towards white

I really, really don't like metal strap watches!

Has to be leather for me, currently have the Citizen red arrows special edition but will be changing this christmas for something else.

Azza · 21 May 2012 at 22:06

Andi do you have a link to that Timex Weekender with your strap?

same belloni

not a fan of metal either
just so uncomfortable

Best thing I did was buy a lovely chunky (decent) leather strap for my Glycine. Okay, I don't have a steel bracelet for it anyway, but just coming from other metal bracelet watches, leather is so much comfier.
