And VAT not waived

It looks humongous on your wrist.

optic illusion from the all dial
nice

Not an optical illusion but simple real estate. The guy cannot wear anything larger than 36mm. The lugs are jutting out from beyond his wrist instead of following its curvature.

Are paddy farmers earning more than we think?? What's going on?

This is a wrist that is barely large enough to wear such a big watch

36mm watches remind me of my Swatch collecting days. Nowadays I never go below 40mm, 42mm being the ideal case size.

If 42mm is ideal, what is 45mm?

Added on September 16, 2011, 5:54 pmAnother strange thing I notice about that Stowa is that the hour and minute hands do not have the same thickness near the pivot. This makes it look as if the hands are not really a set, and is visually incongruos. The minute hand is really thin while the hour hands noticeably thicker.

They should be of identical thickness before they take on their own forms towards the tips as this Dornblüth shows


But then this is a small point considering the degree of vulgarity in watches nowadays ... stainless steeel monstrosities on thin wrists ... all watch and no wrist ... where the wearer is like a vehicle for the watch, instead of the watch being a small accessory for the wearer.

Is it me or does IWC portu chrono looks bigger then its actualyl is? Its only around 41mm but looks way bigger... a bane for peopel with athletic (read :slim) writst.

My next target is a PAM!! Simply awesome!! Any 40mm PAM below 20k can recommend?

Bros, where is the best place to buy Maurice Lacroix watches. Went to one Utama watchshop, their prices are so much higher than bodying.com. Wonder why so much difference.

I am eyeing ML pontos date date. Poisoned.

bodying.com is grey, they do not carry factory warranty.

Thank you for the info. I am still a noob.

If the difference is more 10 to 20%, is it worth to buy from grey. Is buying from grey also lose the service support from the local authorized service centre?
