39 all the way. I sold my 42 a few months back because it was just too big. Now that the 39 is available I’m putting it back on my list.

I’ll throw mine in as well.

I regret not pulling the trigger on this one while they were in stock. Beautiful looking watch.

Don’t think I’ve seen any love for Formex in here yet.

I have a Swatch that meets those criteria 😂

Same for me. I had the 42mm version and it was almost perfect, but just a little too big. The 39mm is going to be just right.

You’re paying for marketing and name recognition, yes. And for R&D as well. But also for proven functionality and reliability. And the peace of mind that comes with that. You’re also getting a warranty for a certain amount of time. And the ability to have the watch serviced by professionals after that period. And then there’s resale value if that matters to you. I’m not saying I feel one way or the other about clones but there are definitely legitimate and sometimes tangible benefits to buying a “real” watch over a fake. IMHO, of course :)
