Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

mgscheue: What’s your opinion about the Orange Monster? Is it worth the extra $ compared to the Amphibia?

My choice this morning:

That is not small, mine is 6.25" :D

Wow, I thought mine were small!

I used scotch tape. I made sure it wasn't compressing my skin. Took it off and used a ruler... So mine is about a half an inch smaller than yours

yeah, me too lol

i really do like that invicta i got though. i just got it for xmas, and ive got to go get it resized still… and the blue wouldnt have been a color i chose if i were buying it. but i still really like it.

my mom and her husband have got quite a few watches. i think hes got somewhere around 15 invicta and android watches, probably some other brands

I have also roughly that size, 6,5” maybe, not sure.

Anyway, it means that I´ll have to keep an eye open for watches at 42mm MAX, preferred size is somewhere around 37-40mm depending on how large they wear.

Really is a bit of a pain, 7+” wrist would make much more models available to choose from :slight_smile:

6.25" is tight around wrist with soft tape measure. My current watch band is 17cm (~6.5") and is just the way I like it.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to get small "manly" watch :D

Ok, I know I'm crazy so you don't have to say it. Here's my Invicta on my 7 3/4" wrist. lol!

Glenn,
Love the first watch!! The other 2 are nice also!!

Mine is 7.5 inches

+1 very nice!!

I have a basic Timex windup watch that I bought in Basic Training in Georgia. I think I paid around $12 for it. This would have been just about twenty five years ago. It would take me a while to even remember all the countries that watch has been to with me.

Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

yeah, i like that one alot too… just what i need, another hobby lol

Of course, I discovered the Seiko Monster in a flashlight picture forum :slight_smile:

Thanks buddy :)

Although I only have a 28 yo Casio G-shock for my 7 inch wrist, wish I had a Panerai Ergiziano Pam341 like Arnie and Sly wear; 60mm for an 8 incher! Maybe I’ll try for a replica?

I'm thinking about getting a U-Boat Flight Deck replica. The originals go for around $2700. The replica sells for $158.50. Any thoughts?

Hmm, I think I would skip the replica.

What I have been reading ( for example watchguy.co.uk ), they usually keep time just fine, look pretty good outside and yet don't cost that much but some issues may appear.

They usually have pretty decent chinese movement in them but assembling may be good or bad.

For smaller amount of cash, I would get for example a Parnis, homage of that U-Boat.

For what I understand about these, you probably get a watch with similar movement quality but skip the legal issues.

There should be more accurate look-a-like in the market, or at least there has been but cannot find it ATM :(

No idea about pricetag but these look similar : http://haemmer-germany.com/kollektion/gents

I have put the trusty old Vostok on rest for a bit while I switch between the two new kids on the block.
