    Thanks! That Seamaster Chrono is a beauty.The Speedmaster is the 9300 series as referenced above by Jazzmaster. Going to look up the Tag next.

    Even a broken watch shows correct time once or twice a day. I ought to know, I have a few!

    Interesting. I would say I have average wrists, but I find 38-40mm to be my sweet spot. And while bigger models don't particularly look bad on me, I just find them weird on my wrists.

    The max I could go is probably 43-44mm (Breitling Navitimer or B1, Seiko Orange Monster, Panerai) without looking comical. One of the reasons I got rid of my Suunto Core was because it looked hilariously large on my wrists.

    However, the smallest I could go is probably 36mm. I have an Omega Seamaster that's probably around the 36-37mm (not sure), and depending on the occasion, I could get away with wearing it.

    But I have my grandfather's vintage Gübelin Patek Philippe that's around 32mm, and it looks like I am wearing a kid's watch. Ironically, even my wife refuses to wear that, so it's sitting in a safe gathering dust as a family heirloom.

    I have been eyeing the Lange Saxonia Thin at ~40mm, but when I tried it on, it looked rather large on my wrist because of its clean and open dial. I wish ALS made them in 38mm -- that would be perfect. On the other hand, I have a Daniel Wellington that also has a clean and open dial at 40mm, and it looks surprisingly good on my wrist.

    So, I definitely think there's a certain degree of subjectivity when it comes to wrist presence.

    First post? Welcome to the Forum! I think you're going to like it here.

    That is a very nice watch, great choice for diving too. But it is substantially different (not bad, just different) than what I wrote this thread about.

    The two handed chronograph dial, with it's intuitive readability (especially for those of us with aging eyes who may need reading glasses to decipher a standard chronograph totalizer) is what I was talking about. Have a look at the pic I snagged from the web below, and have a look at the subdial at 9:00. See how the two hands simply resemble a standard analog clock? At a glance it is easy to read as 1 hour and 20 minutes. Just like reading a clock. That is what I was talking about.

    As for the Aquagraph, it is a great dive watch! Love the well protected crown, the sealed (usable underwater) chrono pushers and the dial layout. The Lemania 5100 you refer too was a classic also, a shame it has been discontinued. I regret not having picked up a watch or two with that movement.
