I think it's cool, and it sounds like it fits your needs perfectly. I actually think the big pushers are fine, they give it a chrono look.

Very nice! What is the gold G-Shock?

I recently got the Rothwell box in brown. My only complaint is that the cushions are too large for my slender wrists. Otherwise I like it!

"All customers pay the same price" sounds nice, but it's overcharging anyone outside the EU.

commented on Who has a plan? ·

My current plan is also over ~18 months, but with 6 watches instead of 8. Going into this plan I have a G-Shock, a couple digital Casios I love (one calculator and one world time), and an inexpensive microbrand skeleton. 

  1. Omega Seamaster Polaris (on the way)
  2. Omega Constellation '95
  3. Mondaine evo2
  4. Grand Seiko spring drive GMT
  5. Seiko x Giugiaro chrono
  6. Mühle Glashütte Panova

Once I'm through this list I'll focus on the pricey grail(s).

Representing the Itty Bitty Wrist Committee with my 15.5cm/6.1 inch wrist. Most modern watches look too big on me. I've found this list of YouTubers' wrist sizes really helpful to get a sense for how different watches would look on my wrist. 

commented on What does the community think about gold watches? Would you wear one? ·

I love yellow gold. Three reasons, two big picture and one personal:

  1. Throughout the history of civilizations, yellow gold has been humans' metal of choice for jewelry. It is timeless.
  2. In contemporary society, acceptable men's attire is either conservative and plain or casual. A gold watch is one remaining opportunity for men to adorn themselves.
  3. My wedding ring is yellow gold. A gold watch compliments it very nicely.

My grail is the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 35mm in yellow gold with a blue dial (ref. 42050/423J).
