So you hit right on the “champagne problem”.
With this watch, and for others that folks will share here, time and increased interest (be it speculative or due to genuine horological merit) can turn an every day watch into what is essentially a museum piece. I think we usually talk about in the context of these types of watches becoming “safe queens” but it’s the same right.
A whole other conversation.
Question for those who own or have handled a CB.
Will it work on a 6 inch wrist? This is the closest thing I could find on the internet (6.25 inch wrist). ...
This is very true.
I will have to make a trip to a different state just to try it on.
Yes.
I have exactly a 6” inch wrist and I like mine very much. Lugs aren’t over the edge of my wrist.
Burgie, when you get time, can you try posting again?
I am very interested in seeing your pic.
I have 6.2 inch wrist and there is no issue
I suppose would work as well on the 6-inch. The watch has short lugs.
6.25 is mine.
My opinion, and I’ve owned and worn the CB for many years now, is on my wrist it’s just about perfect. I also own a 38mm Journe, and that’s probably perfect. Where are you located? Is there any chance to see one in the metal? Also, for a watch of this mag...
Thanks Jay…
For the pics and info. I am in Houston, TX. None here that I know of but there are a few for sale in the US currently. I do plan to make a trip at some point in the next few months to see one and try it on. And if it works for me, I will need to sell some...
There are not definitely CBs in Texas !
Remember, DeBoulle was an AD for a long time. Ask around among the watch collecting crew in Texas and I’m sure you’ll find one. Or if you travel, shoot me a DM.
I’m actually in Houston too.
I tried a different model at Zadok years ago so I kinda had an idea, but I basically committed to it without trying it on. I was not disappointed. Although I think it is right on the edge of being too big. I can maybe do their 40mm cases, but i think a 38...
Hi jay,
Think we could see the 38mm? I really wish they still cased in their watches in this size.
Here you go.
I don’t seem to have any handy with the same angle as the CB pictures above so it can’t be compared easily for size. ...
Woah!
That’s a heavy hitter! Love the green gator too! Is that a brass movement? Thanks for posting that jay.

Does CB work for a 7 and 1/2 in wrist?
Does it look too small on a 7 and 1/2 in wrist? I wish they made this watch in 41 and 39mm.
Yes,
It does not wear small. But man, you got options, they have some amazing pieces cased in 40 and 42.
