You absolutely have to try the watch on your own wrist and let it work!
It is a big investment, and you should really enjoy your new acquisition. Wearing comfort is essential to be able to enjoy a watch for many years (decades).
All the best for your journey

Go look at a 3970. Certainly you cannot buy them new from an AD any longer, but they are available. Try one on and see what you think. The 3970 is a 36mm watch, and they are perfectly sized for daily wear. Of course, if you are determined to buy a new, mo...

What great advice just over the last 24 hours. Sounds like I need to try it on the wrist for sure! I do wish to continue a good relationship with my AD.
Bigger is better- to a point

I might be one of the few folks around that prefers a bigger watch. I’m 6’4 and really the 42mm aquanauts- which I have a few (5968, 5168) wear just perfectly for me. I just picked up a 5270j and I will tell you it’s been a grail watch for me forever. How...
