What do we all think of this?

[The Moose]

Usual Saturday morning browsing as you do and have been quite taken by this.

I don't like gold watches. I also don't like straps. But I rather fancy it!

[yeti]

It's very pretty but 33.5mm... It'll look like a 10p piece on a strap!

You could be the next Michael Gould

Not a fan of Roman numerals so, I'm out.

Hi The Moose, I am female and from a woman's point of view think that the watch is lovely, but very delicate and dare I say it, feminine looking!

I prefer numbers to Roman numerals and it has the elegance of the one you liked but is more masculine looking.

Personally I think they give a watch a far more sophisticated look than Arabic numerals.

I prefer Roman Numerals myself. I'd need to see the thing in the flesh to make the final call.

Looks like an Accurist.

Doesn't need any numerals, really!

Go for it if you like it.

Too small IMHO for a full size adult man + I don't like Roman numerals

[hilly10]

Nice clean uncluttered face, its a nice watch for a lady. At 33mm way to small for my liking

I'm surprised that so many people say it's too small as an watch for special occasions.

In comparison to my Sub, it's only 6.5mm less in diameter (case size of 40mm). The inside of the bezel is approx 30mm so the case is bigger than my Sub's crystal.

I wouldn't intend to wear it every day - purely as an evening watch - I just liked the look of it online. I'd guess I'd have to see it in person to decide for sure...

It is small, and I like small watches......it's the main reason I sold mine

[Hoofy]

36mm is probably the smallest a man with slim wrists can get away with. If you have wider wrists, then 40mm might look at bit on the small side.

Im a big man and I regularly wear a couple of 34mm Rolex Dates.

Yes but you also wear a skirt, makeup and a wig and call yourself Alison at the weekend

It's amazing how perception varies. That was a normal sized watch not too long ago... Smallest I wear is my Mille Miglia at 38mm and that feels noticeably tiny to me!!
