Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
My vintage Vostok, unknown reference.
With its clear straight lines, this had so much presence that when alongside my bigger watches, it made them all look plump or clumsy. Very pleased to have had it for a while, and if I was wearing a suit all day, every day, I would love to have something like this again, neat and sharp.
I also had this Longines which had been on this forum for years. 9 ct Dennison case. Wearing this made me realise that gold is worth another millimetre or two in presence.

Some lovely watches on this thread; 34mm was a popular size in that golden age which really appeals to me.
I have a few, here’s one.
An in-house automatic movement with an unusual train design, which means that if you hand wind you rotate the crown backwards, ie pull the top towards you.
This configuration allowed for a larger balance with potentially better accuracy, useful in a small case, which is 2 lovely pieces of polished stainless steel.
Helvetia were a pretty innovative company in their heyday from the 1910s to the early 1960s with developments in waterproofing, shock protection and chronographs among others.
A London Transport retirement piece..

Perfect timing on this thread, it's my daughter's 10th birthday next month and I'd been short of inspiration for a keepsake she can use now.
I just purchased a Wittnauer/Longines 34mm military dial watch on Ebay here in the States and should have it any day now. It has heat blued hands and it has the caliber 11ES hand wound movement which dates it to late 40's early 50's. I really prefer the 33-37mm range. I won't buy anything over 37mm because they just feel out of place after wearing the smaller size.
Thickness?? Maximum I have is a Charmex at 29mm.
Here are my grandad's 18k longines manual at 34mm, his seiko auto with 33mm bezel in a 36mm case (you know those wild seiko designers...) and my 34mm swatch kailua diver.
Long live small warches!

only one i have, this old triple date moonphase has been sat in my watch 'bit's' box for about 5yrs without a strap- its simply too small for my wrist (still runs as well )
Another Tudor...

Here's a few I have pictures for...
I'd have put up a lot more Omegas but they are usually 35mm and we can't have cheating can we?
Cheers,

Here's a few more 34's....

My two daily watches that I switch between every week or so.
The 15200, an engagement present from my now Wife, usually worn on the original Oyster but sometimes on a leather strap as well. It has a really subtle grey starburst effect dial.
The IWC 3521 was an impulse buy a few years ago that I just love. Superb timekeeping on that one!
