      Well I bought a G-Shock Rangeman…pretty sure I'm going to return it fifteen minutes after I receive it from Amazon since it's monstrous and I have 6.5" wrists...

      Was telling my coworker how cool it is because it has a compass, for when I get lost...and an altimeter when I REALLY fucking get lost...I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm retarded.

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        Pretty sure that's something of a consensus among those who know you.

          My wrists arent much bigger and I wear my Gravitymaster comfortably. Give it some time, it will grow on you.

            If the rangeman works out, a mud man is in my future…

                @Anesthetist I'm going to have to be conventional, and say that I prefer the Nomos to the Casio. 😃

                  But as a travel watch, the Casio cant be beat. RC and GPS synching plus more functions than you can shake a stick at. The only downside is the chrono only times up to 24 min which is essentially useless.

                    I had a call from the Omega boutique in town, as they'd just got the new Speedmaster Racing range in. They've got a Master Chronometer movement, meaning they're amagnetic, and are slimmer than previous models. However, this is at the cost of reduced water resistance - 50 metres rather than 100.

                    My favourite was the grey dial with orange hands.

                    I normally have a profound dislike of two-tone watches, but this Speedmaster Moonphase looked really nice. The bezel is actually a dark green, but looks almost black in this photo.

                    Lastly, I took a look at a couple of Ploprofs. The grey dial is made of titanium, which is a rarity, but bumps the price up by $1000. I think that these pieces felt more comfortable on the wrist than the Speedmasters, and they're not noticeably heavier, even on the bracelet.

                    I'd hoped that the Railmaster would have been in, but it hasn't arrived yet. Maybe I'll get to see on when I'm in London.

                        @rocket I saw an article on the Sinn EZM 1.1 a couple of days ago. Looks a cool watch.

                        You getting one?

                          though I could pick one up in the factory for you @Graeme and bring it, or not, to Gosport  😉 😉

                            Man that 1.1 will be a hot seller. My wallet(s) are a bit thin at the moment but I might try to get some cash in order. I could easily see that being an amazing EDC.

                              I'm a bit lacking in play money myself, but I think that I'd put it towards a Railmaster over the EZM.

                                  Had Richard @ Toshi straps make me a black shell cordovan strap with grey stitching. It arrived yesterday after a month in the making process and had it fitted today. I really like the look and looking forward to it developing.

                                    Wound up keeping the Rangeman, but it's just inside of what I will tolerate on size.

                                    Any bigger and it'll look like the watch is wearing me, not the other way around.

                                      Whats your wrist diameter @DougNg ?  Any pics of the Rangeman?

                                      I'm considering a Mudmaster, but my 7" wrist may not look great..

                                        I tried a Mudmaster at a local store, I looked idiotic with it on my wrist.

                                        edit: may have been a Gravitymaster.
