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...
Slightly better photo, I'll do some more later when I've finished arsing around earning a living! :-D
...
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!
Alex
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!

Certina DS Action Titanium, 41mm, Precidrive
...
So, this is what I came up with:
...
If you want to know what time it is then buy a Casio... ;-)
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.
Alex
Silly isn't it: 300m and more, with helium release valves etc. I knew a guy with a Sea Dweller who didn't even wear it in the bath!
The Captain Cook is a nice looking watch in all fairness, I'm...
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.
Pff,...
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...
That's really nice! Neither dress watches nor Longines have been on my radar in the past but that's a good watch. Longines's website says the diameter's 35mm, but it looks bigger than that to me... ...
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!
Alex
Sorry, I haven't been around watch forums for a long time, I used to take a keen interest but that'll be at least a decade ago.
I'm sure you're right in what you say, I think it's the lack of...
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.
I...
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...
Wow, that's a nice little collection!
I don't see a 36mm Khaki on any websites, but 38mm would do. I just need to have a think about which model. As I said on another thread, your choice is...
