Very nice classic Minerva in 34 mm, very dapper looking. My 34 mm watch is a "sport" watch or at least sporty looking. 😉

I thought, this is maybe too small, i bought the wrong watch! After a few weeks, this is amazing, i bought a nice watch, and i have no regrets at all. So, it is more a mind thing and a proportion case than pinning on only this size that size is only good for a wrist. Smaller watches wear anyway more better than oversized watches.

But the design is very nice and in spite of not being adjusted in x positions, it’s very accurate, too 😊👍🏻
