Nicolas (amanico) shares his cherished Jaeger-LeCoultre 159 SHOM, a rare and historically significant diver's watch. His post highlights the enduring appeal of vintage pieces and challenges modern perceptions of watch sizing, demonstrating how a 34mm watch can still command presence on a 17cm wrist. This discussion provides valuable insights into the appreciation of vintage JLC and the personal connection collectors form with their timepieces.

A good old friend, this watch, and a rare bird I always have a lot of pleasure to wear. 



Are 34 mm wearing small on my 17 cm wrist? I don't think so! 

I only see beauty, power, soul and character, here.

Best,

Nicolas

But for a quality custom strap, I’m sure CF and ABP can accommodate.

I repeatedly have to regret a bit not to have decided for such a SHOM, when there was the chance coming up some years ago.. Well, still humble Padawan at that occasion.. Simply said, you cannot have it all, and also otherwise these times have been rewarding, IMHO. Best & HAGWE, my friend , hs.

I believe canvas is also one of their options. Custom for your 17mm lugs. =).
