        @Chris the SkyD comes in at 42mm.  I find it very comfortable.  I agree the pictures do make it look a bit large,  it wears better than the pictures suggest.  The picture of the SkyD with the OP31 does not help as the contrast in size is high.  I should try and get some more proportioned photos of it,…........that or hit the gym 😂

          42mm is a great size. I'm sure that it looks much more proportional in real life- no Popeye workouts required.  🙂 I really like the way the GMT function works on that one, too.

                    Picked up a SARB017 and SARG011 last year. First 'real' automatic watches for me, as I decided I would stop wearing my Garmin Forerunner daily. Then of course my work started a step challenge for the year, and the watches promptly went in the drawer so I could use my smart watch to track my steps.

                    Can anyone recommend a good watch winder? Being able to wind both would be awesome, but otherwise I wouldn't mind swapping them out every day or something.

                    777 fit in heavyweight, plz

                    Wish list:
                    IHSH-75-IND
                    IHJ-85-BLK

                          Damn @Giles , love this - bringing out the heavy! I had a Deep One back in the day but stupidly sold it to fund something else.

                            Sold my Oris Carl Brashear & Seiko SLA019 and bought this GS SBGH255. Just opened the box. It sits better than the SLA019 on my 7” wrist, and the Ti makes it very reasonable in weight.

                              Picked up a nice Pelican case for watch storage.  Standard peli case but with a custom cut interior for storing 6 x watches.  The company who sell these in the UK are called Case Farm and they sell other size cases for storing up to 10 watches in.

                              Nothing stopping you making your own inserts for a Peli style case, there seems to be quite a few foam options that you can cut to shape yourself.

                                  quick question: I have the opportunity to buy an Oris ProDiver Titan Chronograph at a great price.
                                  It has everything I'm looking for: its Ti, easy to handle when I have gloves or greasy hands, a chrono and a bezel. The only 'downside' is that its quite big because its 1000m water resistant and therefore an obvious dive watch. Since I don't dive, I worry people might think its a bit overkill to have a big watch like this on when not in the water. What do you guys think? Should I go for it or keep looking for something else?

                                    I don't think people are going to think very strongly one way or another, but you might get tired of wearing such a brick on your wrist.

                                      I'm used to wearing GShock and Big Pilots so that shouldn't be an issue.  😉
