I think it looks pretty hot on women.. but on the other hand it seems like it would be uncomfortable and I could see why women would not wanna wear these.

That is a nice looking watch... I could be into one of those.

My Rather beat up DW5600 (would be worse but I replaced the bezel as the orig bezel was disintegrating... The crystal has a fair few scratches on it from Mountian Biking / Hiking..etc.

Very Cool that they are making a mid sized... however this is me wearing a 47mm Seiko... sooo I am not sure midsize is right for myself but still it is great they have the option.

I have been sensitive to nickel since I was a kid, however they problems / severity of the allergy have worsen over the last year. If you are sensitive to nickel the more you are exposed to it, the more sensitive / allergic you'll become apparently.

Thank you guys fopr the suggestions so far... I need to do some math and figure out what my Stainless watches are worth on the used market and see how much money I could come up with for replacement(s).

I am fairly certain I am in the ball park of the Tudor BB58 925, I really wish it was on a bracelet however.... I really dig the looks of that watch. Some good ideas so far, the Ti Scurfa looks good, If I can find a nice Ti 1st gen Samurai that could be good..
