buy without try on?
It has been a long time that i am thinking of buying the Maen Brooklyn 36, I am afraid of buying this because i have never seen it in the flush and never wore it.
any suggestions?
is there some one how owns it and can advice me?
also should i wait 6 months and get the dial color i want the most or buy i now with the dial i like the second?

In my opinion always try a watch before buying it and never settle for less than you actually want. Except you have the budget to buy 2 so get first and second option :-)
I would wait for the dial you want, otherwise you'll get the other one, and always regret it. As for buying without trying, that's just the way it goes a lot of times, unless you have an AD for thr brand nearby or a huge watch seller that happens to have it. Otherwise, just do what I do: take an educated guess, hit that Buy button on Chrono24, and hope it fits like you think it will! Try to find a reviewer on YouTube with a similar sized wrist who's reviewed the watch too, that can really help a lot.
I have one (salmon dial) which I haven’t unpacked! It took that long to arrive after pre-order that I changed my mind and have decided to sell on. So maybe there’s a lesson for you!
Anyway, I have a similar sized wrist to you, so am happy to answer any questions. The bracelet looks decent quality, and size wise it is small, but still looks good on a 6.75inch wrist.

I was able to check them out at Stockholm Time a few weeks ago and I was quite underwhelmed. There was nothing wrong with it exactly it just didn’t do anything for me. I buy a lot of microbrands and end up buying most of my watches without trying them on, it can be a bit hit and miss, I usually see if there have been any reviews by youtubers/bloggerskan I agree with.
I never try on a watch first before buying, because I shop online and not in a store. As long as the size is appropriate, it's good to go! 👍

Thank you!
