38mm would have been even more ideal particularly for smaller wrists but like always, it is the lug to lug measurements that matter so a 46.5mm lug to lug length is fine. Actually for my wrist anything south of 46.5mm is fine. Also it matters if the lugs curve downwards or are Breguet straight! smile

I am pretty sure very few of you have heard of the Elka Watch Company and until three weeks ago, I too had never heard of them. I am generally one who judges a watch based on its merits rather than merely by its history, brand name or hype. So when I spot...  

Thank you very much!

I have to agree with you

Thank you for your kind comments!

Due to the excellent dial and case design, the watch is elegantly discreet in my biased opinion.

Thanks a lot!!

It just shows that sometimes we don't have to break the bank account to buy a nice looking watch

Thank you Salman!

My current seven watch collection allows me to enjoy each watch to the max!

This is a lovely watch

I have never heard of before. I am amazed how pretty a dial this "empty" can be. The execution is realky stunning and this design "just works".

You took the words right out of my mouth!

A watch with little drama but which still provides a feel good factor!

I get weak when I am faced with that combination

Even my De Bethune mono pusher chronograph is somewhat minimalist! ...

I recall they launched one model last year with many iterations of the dial numbering with Arabic, Chinese and Hindi.

Credit goes to the Elka watch company

 
 By: sham1 : March 17th, 2024-03:01
because unlike most of the other internet based companies, they actually sent the watch out 24 hours after I had placed my order on the day of the launch. The watch actually arrived almost three weeks ago in my home but I had been away hence the delay in ... 

It amazing how these smaller watch companies operates,

Unlike big manufacturers that need to take 6-8 months after Baselworld or now W&W to lunch their watches given their moolah power…

Agreed but

there are some small companies like MIng that take months to deliver the watch after launch. I recall once leaving a 50% deposit on a 17.09 and 11 months later, I was asked to pay the balance before delivery and was taken by surprise as I had totally forg...
