Congrats on the good news!

Thanks! I think that 34mm to 38mm is often a great size for just-under-7-inches wrists, especially with dressier watches.

commented on Vaer S3 Calendar Review. ·

Great collection! Maybe a Nomos Club Sport in petrol as a versatile dress-up/dress-down watch? Or a Nomos Ludwig as a fully fledged dress piece? Also, your post is a model for SOTC posts in general: a good photo and 1-2 sentences about your history with each watch 👍🏻
