Always a great pleasure to put that watch on my wrist. Best, Gerard ...

This is the 42 mm yes? Did you try on the 38 mm as well? 🤝

In general,the 38 mm looks a bit too small on my wrist. A few years ago I tried the steel version in 38mm and both my wife and the sales employee (a lady) cried out : oh no , this is too small for you !! And who am I to not listen to two ladies )) .

Happen to have a wrist shot of you with the 38 mm on? I’m very interested in watch sizes and how they wear on different sized wrists and also shaped wrists. 🤝

I have a 17 cm wrist which is pretty bony and flat. I guess with the 38 mm version the issue is not the fit but more the looks : the design of the Laureato makes for a pretty small dial diameter vs the overall size of the watch. In my opinion,the dial ope...

Mostly neo-vintage with a few current models. Actually there is more than one box … 🤣 Did you get your ceramic green preowned on from the AD? 🤝

A very good multi-brand AD definitely not playing any of the bundling games that you have noticed in your region.

I’m just curious as in asia, we often buy preowned (but often brand new) at deep discounts. So I’m keen to see what folks in other parts of the world do. 🤝

But I had already bought other watches from them.

Back to the days when ADs start treating their customers with respect. But the secondary markets are growing and much more trusted now. And watches made in the last 25 years are robust and not going to dissolve. So we will see the preowned market grow and... 

Looking good, love the green too! The Laureato can be deceiving due to dial size. I wore the 42 mm for a year , then decided it was too large for my 7 inch wrist. The 38 mm suits my wrist better so I switched to 38 mm and never looked back! ...
