Watches - another OCD problem

[Giles]

@Seul:

You knew he was gonna ask anyway, right?..

You got it…...

@Snowy:

Giles, very interesting watch. Looks smaller on you than I expected.

You have to remember, Giles has ape wrists.  Most watches are gonna look smaller than expected.

I am actually having to get another strap made for me.  The standard one is 1.5cms smaller than it should be for my ape-like manly wrists….

In my WIS days, my first stop for straps - especially for larger cased, PAM-style watches - was Toshi (aka Rich).

Superb construction and reasonably priced (incl. the Horween options).  Loads of customisable options too, given they're pretty much made to order.

Pinion are making me one for nothing…..

I d take it for nothin!;D;D

Congrats G for the simple but good looking watch! Understatement pure imo.

Enjoy ya addiction!

But perhaps he knew that and already expected it to look smaller, yet somehow it looked even smaller!

[Chris]

Valid point.  I stand corrected.

[Seul]

It's big and bold, just like its owner…

[Seul]

Big plus: you can't pop out the crown… You can screw it into place... Great... The orange's a bit dull, but maybe that's for the best... Heard some complaints about the rubber band being stiff... Doesn't bother me in the least... And no more wrist sliding either... Don't have to strap it on too tightly and it stays in place... Excellent.

Looks good.

[Seul]

Thanks. Where's your new watch?..

The second shot G took makes it look very nice and fits well, just a bad angle on 1st shot I'd say.

Looks great G. And my PAM is on the chopping block for that Seiko SnowFlake!

Like 3 pages back…..and currently on my wrist.

@Anesthetist

Looking forward for the Grand Seiko review buddy.. May I know why you bought the 380 and not the others?

[Anesthetist]

Liked the logo and the sub seconds together. I thought it would keep me from getting bored, but I was wrong.
