WS for Friday 28th: Big or Small. Does Size really matter? Open Now!

 
 By: Subexplorer : May 28th, 2021-12:32
Hello dear friends! As announced last Wednesday the Theme asks our participants to share their feelings and preferences about case sizes. In the 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s men’s watches were generally offered with cases ranging around 34 to 36 mm maximum. ...  

Big but beautiful ! ...

Thank you Abel ...

My dear Abel, Even though I do not routinely participate in wrist scan I always look forward to your contribution.

Hello my dear friend HS! Ha ha ha!! You say well my dear HS: as customary I tend to inundate my fellow members with the flow of shots and tic tacs! Ha ha ha!

The Radiomir shot: it is reference 687 with a degradee brown dial, it looks almost yellow in the center under some sunlight angles. The mirror surface was the roof of a dark color car in a parking lot! Lol! I tried to capture the reflex of some palm trees... 

Even if I repeat myself.. Thx so much for your kind & interesting comments to your watches and type of photography !.. it is interesting to share conceptual thinking regarding watches !

Especially the contrast shots are great! Wasn’t aware that you had such an extensive Bubbleback collection, though 👏🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for your kind coments dear KM! I´m happy to know you liked these shots. I started my collecting journey with old and less known brands of chronographs and Bubblebacks...

Is a good example. 35mm if I remember correctly. I haven’t shown it on the forums because it is almost definitely a redial, and because I cracked the hardlex (and have yet to get it replaced), so it isn’t exactly the nicest piece. Still, it is the first w...

The sound is great

 
 By: mhz vph : May 31st, 2021-04:02
It's a loud watch, relatively speaking. Sounds like a little machine gun next to your ear. And it has been very accurate during practical use. Hopefully one day I will find a genuine example!

Sadly not luminous...

 
 By: mhz vph : May 28th, 2021-23:10
If it were I would be more than happy to provide the lume shot

Indeed!

Two good choices !

While I definitely tend towards the 40mm and less part there are always some exceptions, which can be great fun, too 👍🏻

My pleasure always dear KM! Yes, we have preferences in sizes of course but it is good to broaden our horizons to try some exceptions both over and under our own standards.

This is a difficult question…

 
 By: KMII : May 30th, 2021-12:26
I will explain. The official height is 14,4 mm (and due to the titanium case it’s quite comfortable). But it has a curved case back and depending on whether you use the time or timing side up the height will vary, as it’s asymmetric in terms of thickness ...
