Type XX
Hello
I've had my heart set on a XX / XXl as my next watch. Unfortunately I've only been able to try on a XXl, and felt this was a bit big on my skinny wrist. I loved the look but the size didn't look/feel right. This is a bit odd as I have a 42mm JLC Amvox 1,Reverso Squadra and IWC Portuguese that all wear big, and I think they look fine on me.
I am therefore looking at possibly an XX, as i've read 'somewhere' that it actually wears 'big' for its size- can anyone confirm this??
Secondly, how does an XX compare to an IWC Pilot 3706 in terms of quality / size?? - I find this watch wears very small. Whilst I love the look of my 3706, I tend to overlook it for other watches I have. I also feel an XX would be a more versatile watch - casual or good with a suit. I therefore may offload this or a Omega Planet Ocean with Orange bezel to help fund the XX - any opinions on this??
Many thanks

I personally can wear all the Type XX and XXI watches; and I have a tiny 6 inch circumference wrist. I wore the Lady's Type XX on a bracelet and it looked great on me, perfect classic size. I tried on the Men's Type XX on a strap in steel and on a bracele...

Welcome here! Sorry for not having answered you before, but now I'm back home. I would strongly recommend the Type XX. Like you, the Type XXI is too big for me, and the 39 mm of the type XX look perfect on the wrist. Sporty, but also dressy, this watch ca...

Hi Northpole, i tried both the type XX and the XXI several times. I have a relativ small wrist but both the the bigger XXI and the XX look fine on my wrist. However i feel that the 39 mm XX is the better choice to me - it is big enough and yet it looks cl...
