    If it was available in 38mm I'd probably have pre-ordered! I'll look forward to seeing the three hander in 40mm though; 42mm is too damn big for that style of watch (although most watches are too big...

    As with anything, if you don't like the asking price don't buy it. I want £50,000 for my car, the problem is no one will pay it!

    I was going to buy one 'til I saw the size of the damn thing! Love the design, but I wish they'd stuck to the dimensions of the original.

    I bought the 41mm DS Action Titanium dive watch instead,...

    I just left the bezel where it was. I do actually use it to time stuff! 😉

    Thanks!

    Those skeleton hands - not something I'm normally fond of - are extremely shiny and tricky to photograph. I could've done a better job but I was just messing.

    To be honest, if I've got...

    In a mad moment the other day, I almost pulled the trigger on a Timex Marlin 34mm in order to scratch that mechanical/vintage itch. I decided £175 was too much for a bloody Timex with a cheapo...

    It's nice isn't it! It's available in stainless too, which is even more affordable. I decided to pay the extra for the weight saving!

    It does look like it in that photo doesn't it! I noticed that myself but couldn't be bothered to take another shot. Photographing one's own wrist isn't much fun!

    Plenty big enough isn't it!

    Anyway, I've admitted defeat and ordered a 41mm Certina. I was in Argos earlier and tried on one of those ridiculous new Citizens (the BN0085-01E I think) and I was...

    Agreed on all points. The lugs are critical to a good fit; some of these large, sticky-outy crowns can affect comfort too.

    WTF is THAT??!!


    Indeed. To each their own. Interesting you mention hand size, I've got small wrists but massive hands so I can often get away with bigger watches; I'm not mad keen on them...

    I've got small wrists - about the same as yours - but enormous hands (I can make a 13th on the piano!), so I can get away with wearing larger watches but I don't particularly like them.

    Not the worst idea of all time, but they're sold out!

    Interestingly, a lot of these G10-style watches are sold out, there seems to be healthy demand for military-style timepieces that aren't huge....

    That's pretty, but there's something a bit 'faux-dive' about it - somehow a bit shiny and water resistance down at 100m.

    I'm still very tempted to get a Certina DS PH200M - it's too big but aren't...

    Yeah, that's what concerns me. I can't believe they haven't fixed that, pretty much every other manufacturer of similar watches applies an anti-reflective coating!

    Sure, I'll grant with both hands that people with big wrists are likely to be happier with bigger watches, although barring extremes, I would think 40mm would look pretty large on any wrist.

    Absolutely, once you get past non-G-Shock Casios and the likes of the Timex Expedition, most watch prices are insane. Look at the classic G-Shock DW-5600 - one of my all time favourites. I love the...
