I have 6.25” and this is how my SRDP looks on my wrist comparing to CW 63 Selander (39mm).

Then a side comparison of the 2 watches.

However, it is best to go to an AD and try for yourself.

I prefer my CW.

I always have trouble with the seconds hands. My vision is not as sharp anymore. It is hard for me to do hand-eye coordination with the eye magnifiers.

They are really nice offerings by Nodus.

It’s a tough choice. I like the Terra and the Impulse. With the CUSMA agreement, I will not pay Duty, only our provincial tax. This is very attractive to me.
