QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 4 2020, 01:10 PM) u do realize the casio is 48.5mm lug to lug right... Yes. It wears smaller than the dimensions suggest. My entire wrist width is 50 mm. I've tried it, it fits well. My seiko sgeg097p1 wears bigger even if that is 47 mm. That has standard lug design.this proves that lug to lug isn't the only factor but how the lug is designed also. |

Yes, but the case design will help people with smaller wrist. The seiko turtle and casio oak is a great option for smaller wrist. Still maintain a big dial.I will try to find the new gravitymaster gwr-b1000 to see if this carbon core guard can be worn by small wrist. The curved lug design is interesting. Reminds me of the tissot t touch. |

Yes. Let me know how the gwr-b1000 sits on the wrist. I'm eyeing the more budget option...gts-b200 because its supposed to be smaller in dimension than most of the carbon core or gsteel models out there but still provide the same functionality and looks.I will try to find the new gravitymaster gwr-b1000 to see if this carbon core guard can be worn by small wrist.

Will also look at the GTS-B200 as well. Cheaper alternative to the gravitymaster, better for me. Thinner in depth, but higher in lug length though. After owning the Kamasu and wearing it for a month daily, I don't think it is for me. Don't like top heavy watches. Reminds me of my Timex Explorer at almost the same weight 150-180 gm (on stock bracelet) which is 17 mm tall. Wiggling the watch makes it loose. My 20 year old Timex T6 explorer compass sits more in the watchbox now than on my wrist. Which defeats the purpose of cherishing it. Granted that was the only watch I used for 15 years (before smartphones and I needed an inbuilt compass). Now it just keeping for memory's sake. I also cannot stand have to always set the time and date on my seikos. all sitting in the watch box collecting dust. Im mostly wearing my gshocks these days. nice collection. Lots of presages. Mine's mostly divers and only one presage. Maybe divers are not for me. Rotating bezel which I will not use. Smaller dial because of the bezel. Weight, I tend to use watches which <100 gms more often. Thickness of the watch because of the WR of 200m, which to be fair, I'm not going to go anywhere near 10 m of depth. Which is why the Casio GA-2100 is so much nicer/makes sense. Since I'm working a desk job, a watch too thick also looks out of place on a small wrist. Cannot wear long sleeve shirts. To me, a watch has to serve a function first, rather than looks. Looks are a bonus. At the end of the day, that is the watch which you will always gravitate to without thinking. One thing about divers is it sure look nice though. If I had a bigger wrist, and I don't mind getting this diver inspired Casio MTP-S110 watch. Found it here: |

Hi all Sifus, I want to buy myself a Seiko mechanical watch as my very first mechanical watch.
Did my research and decided to go for SARB033 (instead of SARX035 due to limited budget). Need help from kind Sifus here can tell me where can I buy one? TQ. |
