Love the IWC aquatimer with crowns at 2 and 4.

I'd already be looking to acquire one but I have the feeling they will wear too large on my skinny wrists. I very reluctantly decided not to buy the Doppelchronograph (which I desperately wanted for its complication) because at 42mm and thick with it, it looked ridiculous on my wrist

I've moaned before about watch manufactures following the fashion to be bigger and more conspicuous, both are characteristics that I despise in a watch. Will have to try the Aquatimer to see how large it actually feels - some 42mm watches are OK, whereas some appear huge

Well I ended up buying said Aquatimer And it didn't wear too big, despite my concerns.



However even though it's a cool watch, I've made a decision to rationalise my collection and I've too many dive watches...

It's for sale if anyone's interested.

What sort of price do these go for second hand? I can't afford it at the moment, but would love one of these in the near future!

Funnily enough, whilst the crowns at 2 and 4 were the cool design feature that drew my attention originally, I'm finding that I prefer my Sinn...

Excuse the resurrection (but hey, 'tis the season!), but could you tell me how big a wrist you have? I'm sniffing around the the idea of getting a 356 but like a lot of folks I'm worried it'll wear a bit small.

I thought I had wrists like a small girl but they measure 7.5" so apparently not that skinny going by some of the comments I've seen - wondered how they compare with yours...?

Cheers.

I love that Flieger, going to get one of those as soon as my plate sells or I start to earn a bit more commission if things pick up, which I doubt.

I tried the latter on a week or so ago @Jura and didn't like the colour combo. Assuming my tax returns go OK I'm planning on getting either this:

Just got myself a Damasko Da36 !! pics to follow once its delivered !! so I wont be getting a Sinn or Glycine for a bit but when I do it will be a Sinn 656s, a bit similar to the Damasko but I like that style, plus this is the start of the collection !!

Does anybody have any good suggestions for a new strap for the Damasko ?? the standard leather one looks a bit crappy !!

I have my DA37 on a Nato, which I think suits the tool nature of the watch perfectly:



If you want another leather strap then I'd see about a Toshi
