Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

Here is mine! (Ref. 74000)
It’s great to see a California dial in a modern Oyster case...
yes they are, love the hands set too!
1965 Benrus U.S. military:
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.

i have about a dozen 34mm or nearabouts as i used to collect gold watches,this is one of my favorites,a seamaster from 1958 in one of denisons heavy 18ct gold cases [33grams] if i wear one of these for a few days every thing else in the watch draw looks big ugly and clumsy..heres another favorite this one is in 9ct gold and is from 1962..

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..

My used Durex.
That made me chuckle - lovely watch!
34.5mm and very wearable thanks to its pretty modern design and long lugs(unusual for a later Smiths). The handset is perfect to my eyes.

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!

That Geneve is a beauty.
I have a few in the 34 and 35mm size
£68, Newark Antiques Fair, 1998!
Dial and hands are original, case has been lightly refinished recently by my good self, new glass fitted years ago, new crown and a full movement service in 2017. Not worth a huge amount but definitely one of my favourites.
I’ll give you £100 and I won’t tell the SC police.
Wife got all artsy taking a pic of my pair of Tudors ... on the left the Oysterdate 7992/0 from 1968, and on the right a noughties Prince Date 74034 ... love both of them but don't wear them a lot these days ...

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?

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!

I was on holiday once up North and when visiting York I saw a brand new Rolex Oyster 34mm on sale for something stupid around £2800 if I remember correctly they had 2 a white dial and a purple dial I tried the white one on but was undecided on the size as it felt that little to small for me so I walked.
To this day I could kick myself I should of had it as now I like the smaller watches, 34mm is a tad smaller than I like but it did wear slightly bigger and I’ve lost weight now so would of looked even better :(
My 65' Omega Seamaster; bequeathed to me by my father in law. Had a gentle refurb done during a long overdue service....he never touched it in 50yrs!!
One of the first Citizen Attesa's from the Eighties. It wears bigger due to the integrated bracelet.

The most comfortable watch I own.
Is this strictly 34mm or might I slip a cheeky 32mm in?

The best wearing 34 I've found so far!
I have three or four 34mm watches. This one is my favourite:
I had a black dial, all steel one years ago and missed it after I sold it. So I was very happy to replace it with this one a couple of years back.
New arrival from the sales section.
Think it's a tad under 34mm but I don't have calipers so may just squeeze into the category.
