Deep scratch in acrylic crystal... 😢

Advice: Sharply downturned lugs?

I have a small 6.25" wrist, and have found that while I prefer 38mm cases, the most important measurement for me is how far beneath the case back the...

commented on Christopher Ward bracelet issue - your thoughts? ·

I had a similar problem with my 42mm titanium Zelos Swordfish. It arrived on a properly seared bracelet, and I removed the bracelet to try the Horween leather strap. When I went to put the bracelet back on, one pin locked in, and the other was JUST missing the pin hole. It had the same "wobble" that you are showing.

I had to flip the watch over, take a spring bar removal tool, and push the one side of the spring bar towards the watch case to get it to lock into place. It was such a pain, I'll never take it off the bracelet again.

The orange strap was a bit too much for me, so i went with an Amazon rubber strap.

"Time and time again" is one if my favorites.

This is the 39mm, and it wears smaller than expected on my 6.25" wrist, so I'd avoid the 37mm unless you have a smaller wrist than me.

I really like that one, but unfortunately I have a 6.25" wrist.

commented on Watch Gang...thoughts? ·

I had a Watch Gang Black subscription for about a year before they increased their prices. Most of the watches they sent out were 42-44mm, which didn't fit my 6.25" wrist well, but I enjoyed the novelty of what I received. I still have my 42mm Dufa because of how it wraps around my wrist, but the rest have all moved on.

I recently bought a 36mm Vaer S3 Quartz (with 20mm lugs), and I love the small size and how the lugs still curve down. If you like smaller watches, I highly recommend it.
