I had my seiko 42 mm watch for my small wrist. But still i find that 40mm or smaller watches more nicer...

37mm feels like a chick watch

don't say like that lah... blush.gif my seiko actually is 37mm, and has served me for 8 years now. u see those veins on my knuckle? nothing like a chick's right? hahaha!

yes, the tissot is too big for me. 50mm lug-to-lug, 46mm diameter. the other watch in the photo, is a seiko velatura. even bigger than the tissot!

U200 eh? with argon filled case, nevermind lah.

seiko chrono i dunno what model already, 37mm diameter (actually 36.5mm), 43mm lug-to-lug, on a 6" wrist

Oops.. blush.gif
today its kinda hard to find men's seiko chrono at 37mm. many are at 40mm.
I have to agree during those times watches tend to be smaller even my old 15+yr Tag is small at around 36-37mm... chick watch by today's standard.
leaving it for my baby gal when she is older.. tongue.gif

true, watches used to be smaller. the only big ones were the g-shocks.

now back to planning n dreaming which ones to buy... hahaha... the only one i can think of right now is the omega PO. and that, is a long way to go before i can afford one

went to pavilion today, saw some doxas. but none of those doxas are available on doxa's website. hmm??? normal dress watches. no divers

had a chat with doxa customer service. for warranty claim, will have to send it back to switzerland, and the shipping charges for them to return it will be borne by them. for general service, will have to send it to switzerland, shipping charges to get it back borne by the customer. hmm.... hmm..... hmm.....

no pics yet... Christopher Ward C600, just arrived yesterday.
at ~40mm, sit on the wrist nicely. rubber band is long suitable for ppl going diving.
the PVD finish is really nice. Great packaging didn't feel like one is buying a cheapo watch.
Great Lume I have to say..... loving the blue glow.

the only 2 issue I have is the deign of the hands, a little to long and broad. for US$385 its good value as a beater watch.
not own a ETA 2824, so can't compare with SW200 inside this watch.
2nd issue is the screw-in crown, maybe I own a Zenith so I pick on it. it just didn't give me THE FEEL. hey can't help right since its more than 10X diff in price. will pay with it for a few days and report how much time it gain/loss.

to add: even its a nearly new item, I didn't find any scratches or dints.
CW still offer the regular 60days return and 60 mths warranty
