as you may know, I have the jubilee which was a no brainer for me because of its size. I have a larger wrist, and, like all my watches, I wear it.

Yes, I would think so, guess I am drawn

To more “other” complications than thinness many times.

No wrong decisions - great watches

Hi I've always been struck by the Ultra thin, especially the 34. I think that is mainly due to a tear down of one that I read - I know the W Odets one is still up on TZ from eons ago, but I'm also sure there was one here - when the site used to do full bl...
