I'll retract my 'brave man' comment and expand on it, we're you on the waiting list or just purchase it at retail?
If so, brave man
a few ninja edits later
thatll learn youI paid retail
although it beats paying blowers or watchclub a premium.it seems expensive but for an inhouse chrono its not so bad in comparison to some of the other similar brands.
also its relatively liquid at 90% of rrp.

Such as? Surely Rolex is the most widely known luxury watch brand. Their volumes are enormous.
Very nice by the way.

sorry better known was the wrong phrase
im talking about the likes of audemars, jlc etc
Soldato
good, then you will understand how annoying it is when someone insinuates something you have just spent a small fortune on is fake
Oh I love daytonas, I will have another one some day, just need to ensure I make better life/business choices 
my watch collection haemorrhaged from four (graham chronofighter, ss 116520 Daytona, navitimer and skyland avenger) to my one milguass, but as you say they hold their value and I actually made money on mine.
Enjoy and sorry for not explaining my comment better

Oh, you just meant better.
subjective!i have owned a JLC Master Compressor chrono (which actually went to part fund this, glad i hadnt bought it at RRP
) and whilst it was a great piece i prefer both my sub c and daytona over it.i havent tried AP yet, but as an ownership proposition rolex are hard to beat

Just kidding, I am becoming a fan of them. JLC is really my bag but I have a bit of an itch for a sub at some point.

unless you are really drawn to the older ones the sub-c is probably the best all round watch ive owned and very solidly made

Looks like my watch will be on the bench next week and I'll get it back by July. 5 months for a lume mod! Hopefully the work is as good as everyone who recommended MCWW says so will have been worth the wait.
Needless to say, this watch is with me for life even if I add a new watch in years to come. There isn't another all brushed with blue and green lume HydroConquest out there

Graham Chronofighter, yuck!!
I am such a skinny guy, with long skinny arms. I have thought about getting a watch that is nice, but I am pretty sure most watches will look absolutely stupid on me?
Anyone here skinny who wears watches and it suits you? - Or is there a certain watch to go for with skinny people so it doesn't look out of place?

G Shock.
Couldn't get away with a metal watch then? Aren't all G Shock plastic Casios?

I've no desire for vintage on a dive watch (I muck about in the sea and river too much for the stress of that) so that would prob be the best. A very expensive house move this year puts it on the back burner though.

I think he was joking
Plenty of watches for those with small wrists. Look at 39mm or 40mm models in styles you like. Loads of choice in various prices.

watch sizes are thankfully coming back down from the everything oversized fad
There are watches to suit every wrist. If a round case is what you are after look in the 34-39mm range and you will not find it over the top, particularly if not too thick as well.

36mm datejust would be perfect methinks

Much will depend on the style of watch you like. Surprisingly, big watches are relatively recent trend - and most establishes suppliers have ranges that are quite small on the wrist (try on a Rolex Submariner). Luckily the trend for huge watches seems to have abated a bit.
Just go to a decent shop and try on a few. I've got small wrists and can get away with anything up to 43mm depending on how big the lugs are. At that sort of size most of the quality suppliers will have one in the range.
