yeah, i measure like 6.25 to 6.5 inches (depending on my state of arousal)

it is a big watch at 45mm

it was sitting a bit funny in that pic but if i have it sitting properly at the end of my wrist - it is the exact width of my wrist from lug to lug

the original beobachtung-uhr is 55mm so this is a scaled down version

they are supposed to wear big so...

got it back from LACO warranty service (FREE - which is nice since i am the third owner [or so])

the dude at timequest watches really looked out for me

big ups to LACO

i am still testing the power reserve

will report back later

it is on the dimodell tornado

will take solo glamour shots of the watch later

Recently got this as my daily beater watch, automatic movement, japanese made and a vintage like domed crystal. I'm 6'3" and this watch is 36mm - looks a bit small on my wrists i think.

Other thing is that the calf strap is poor quality, anyone know where I can get a better one? 18mm.... I am interested in seeing some quality straps that are croc or cordovan.

go vintage

think eBay

old made in PA hamiltons are great

and old omega geneve

or gruen

elgin

etc

Thanks for the suggestions. Have been scoping ebay recently for old omega geneves but will have a proper search after exams.

Quoting this again because that is a great looking watch.

How much money can you spend? Real gold watches ain't cheap, man.

Doesn't have to be real gold. I'm attracted to the colour combination (gold/white face) rather than the status symbol of having a "gold" watch.

Looking to spend around the 500 mark though.

looks good. the one thing i don't like a lot about a lot of seamasters is the wavy background, which your's doesn't appear to have.

Thanks. It does have the waves..not really noticeable unless u have the watch tilted on an angle.
