The ones that got away 🫡

Thought before I did a state of collection I would show the journey I've been on before hand,this was where I learned watch size is a thing,sounds stupid but didn't consider a watch to be to big or small before 😂oh how we learn.ive been lucky in buying and selling,don't think I've lost only learned about myself and watches,taste history fit and my obsession with seiko and GS.My first luxury purchase was breitling superocean chronograph 42mm

The Superocean White with Blue Subs was the one which got away from me.

I seen it many times in a local AD. I walked past many times and it always called to me. Eventually on a whim I went to the shop, tried it on. I went for a cup of coffee to have a think. When I got back someone else in the shop had sold it. I ended up leaving with a Yellow Seawolf, which I adore. But the White and Blue Sub was the one which got away (so far ;-) )

Was my first big boy watch 🙄🤣turns out too big,loved it the look build quality was amazing,bracelet was unreal,just didn't know about dimensions at this time was even unsure why it wasn't getting wrist time,seawolf is really nice my friend I would definitely recommend the superocean to those who's wrist can handle it,have been eyeing up 38mm colts 🤣breitling was my first go to brand felt like I should re apply one for nostalgic reasons.

Over the last 2 years I have become a big SO fan. I have picked up a couple of SO's from the different lines. Luckily the size is not an issue for me at all.

There's a nice White Dial Colt with Blue Subs, you may want to have a look at. Too small for me, but may suit your wrist better. :-)

That Breitling is a work of art.

I caught one…..😂

I’ve gotta big wrist but the only thing about its size I don’t like is how thick it is, as I wear my watches around the wrist loosely it tends to wobble a bit but other than that it’s a great watch.

Thickness also played into it,but to be 💯 it all just came down to the fact I'm in proportion everywhere,other than my female size wrist and hands 🙄🤣

I get what you’re saying, I have a mate who has the smallest wrists known to man and my 36-38 watches look huge on him….,
