My watchbox has a nice drawer for my most commonly used straps. The rest go into the top drawer of my filing cabinet.

The original traska venturer is the only other one I can think of with an internal rotating 12 hour bezel, and it’s a 38mm. Plenty of watches with internal rotating timing bezels or 24H bezels though. I like the look of them but haven’t actually worn one yet.

Thanks! They’re all the 36 except for the shot of the two side-by-side. I felt like the 39 (photo below) was too big for my 6.5” wrist.

I do feel like the watch looks bigger than represented; the bezel is super narrow and the watch has a large-for-its-size 32mm crystal. My 40mm IWC has a 34mm crystal.

If you feel like the 36 is too small, the bracelet does make it feel a little bigger.

I’ll just leave these here. 36 on a 6.5” wrist. Absolute strap monster if you don’t mind blues and oranges. Not my most expensive watch by a long shot but maybe my favorite. Definitely top 2.

I’ve also tried the 39.

commented on DO YOU LIKE IWC FOR THE DESIGN OR THE TECHNICAL ? ·

Oh that’s very cool - I have the quartz version of your Jack Mason in my watchbox alongside my IWCs.

I originally purchased it in a time of my life where I was lusting after an IWC but thought I’d never be able to afford one. I still have it and it’s been great as an actual tool watch with plenty of scratches and dings to prove it. 🍻
