Not all small watches are created equal

As a kid I always saw my dad wear tank style watches. There was something elegant but simple about them. When I got serious about my collection a few years ago I tried different styles and sizes to see what would best suit my 7.5 inch wrist, and although I like smaller watches, I just don't wear them. Nonetheless, my aspiration to recreate the feeling that my dad had with his tank watches never stopped. Today I'm happy to say I found that watch, something that fits with my around the world collection taking the place of my HMT Janata but also adds to the diversity in styles. I added the gold bracelet because that's how my dad wore them, and I see now that that's the trick to a small tank on a large wrist. It's more of a bracelet, and I absolutely love how it looks and feels. I'll be wearing it on my next visit to see my dad, hope he's proud 😁.

You've done exceptional with this piece. Beautiful watch and sits nicely on your wrist. The bracelet is so charming. Very well done. Your dad would be proud of you regardless, I can feel it just by your adoration for him. I'm sure he'd approve of the watch too. Pat yourself on the back.

Thank you! I found a couple sellers on eBay, not easy to find but they are out there. I got the bracelet separately on eBay as well.

HMT make some nice pieces. There's a few that have caught my eye and I own one. Movement is terrible but it looks great!
