Vintage
King of the Road's original post sparks a compelling discussion on the enduring appeal of smaller vintage watches. As watch enthusiasts increasingly appreciate classic proportions, his inquiry into daily wear of 33-35mm timepieces resonates with a growing segment of the collector community. This article explores why these traditionally sized watches are experiencing a resurgence in popularity and how they fit into modern collections.
Here are my 32 and 33 mm watches. I also have 35 mm watches.
Probably the only size that make sense on my wrist nowadays… /W72
But these are part of my regular rotation Real men don't need to wear 44mm watches ;-) I own the J version of this one (archive pic). PP Ref 2573
A few examples: IWC Cal. 88 (50’s - 33mm) GP Gyromatic 33mm Corona Diver’s 35mm Zenith Stellina (34mm)
Oversize today for me: 36mm ;-)
none of these images would imply under sized. ALL of them look PERFECTLY fitting👌🏻
