Sorry no wrist shot. What am I talking about I should say no wrist to match…....  

Spectacular! Best, Nicolas

...so I'll play. Diameter 46.5mm, lug-to-lug 51mm, height 20mm at the peak of the domed sapphire - Comfortable on the wrist, and an easy-wearing watch indoors or outdoors - The Gefica gets more on-the-wrist comments from the general public than any of my ...  

... of an ancient mariner's compass, strapped to his wrist for ready reckoning on a dark and stormy passage. What about the weight , Tony, what about the weight? Is it necessary for you to remove it when you engage in your fine-motor-skill professional or... 

Recreational ? I had to think about that one for a while. Yes, I do remove it to play the cello. But of course, I keep it on my wrist during safari. Cheers Tony P

I don't have enough brown outfits to wear it for a week, but I'll give it a lot of time. For sartorial reasons I will alternate it with one of these favre leuba moon raiders - 40 x 43mm. Note the hidden lugs - lug design is the key to comfort in a big wat...  

Would it be too politically incorrect to suggest that a special citation is due to you for carrying off 45mm on a wrist of the feminine persuasion? Colour-coded, too! Enjoy your days in brown - look forward to learning how long the wardrobe held out. Chee... 

i dont recall seeing that lovely watch before Ginger. have you been keeping it secret?? i fuly agree with pplater, you should have an award for largest watch in comparison to size of wrist although i'm sure Ping can strap on a panerai to beat you to the t... 

Some end up used for parts. This one works okay if I don't abuse the day date setting mechanism. The plastic day of the week rings tend to fray first. It has the AS 1920 movement rather than an ETA movement. My wrist is not that small - 6 3/8 in now that ... 

Ping with her dainty wrist, Carol in Boston who likes them big and beautiful, moderator Daos with her affection for independents, the lady collectors in Singapore and California whose wrists we see from time to time.

even its hard to wear again 42mm watches after this.. its a nice watch that screams out loud! K...  

... but it somehow seems quite at home on your wrist. Is that because it 'wears' well, or because you have a 10" wrist??? How does Zirconium rate, weight-wise? Cheers, pplater.

do u think i have a big wrist? The hublot is light without having a "swatch" feel. Its a monster that is jst fit i learned a lesson when i tried on once a 46mm jlc : If the case is not well designed with the lungs, the watch will never sit well on your wr...  

... you can give that kind of reference any time you like!! Cheers, pplater.

I like to wear my 43mm J*D Petite Heure Minute Spectrolite for a week. but I had a recent flirt with an oversized Graham Chronofighter. Fell in love with it at the store but successfully fought off the urge. So to see if my lust for the Chronofighter was ...  

Please have a look here and then at the topmost picture of this current thread. This will help you to judge your chances of being allowed by pplater to wear your J*D. You buy your Chinese Swiss Automatic, you wear it ;-) It will strenghten your character.... 

. . . you don't ever want to cross swords with him . . . . . . chastened, Art...  

Now: quit your bleating, strap on your squeaky Swiss special and harden up, or face 'dishonourable discharge' by sharp edge. Your pretty thing will still be there next week... Cheers, pplater. [Image credit embedded in photo URL - right click to view]...  

of WD-40 tonight. The "Swiss Legend" will be out all week and I've retired that measly 43mm J*D back into the box. Who here would ever spray WD 40 on a watch? Mike I like the pic...something sexy about a nun with a big sword

(Errrrrrr, 'airman'???) Now, as for this comment: "I like the pic...something sexy about a nun with a big sword" - report on the double to Mrs Ting with scalpel in the one hand and the Swiss Legend in the other. You're likely to have difficulty reading th... 

And btw, love that guillotine crown guard. - AT

Mike, you'll probably make the problem worse as WD-40 is mainly water with a bit of oil in it, but hey ho, it is as you say, a cheap watch to get you used to the size of a Graham. best Graham

It is so annoying but gone now Cheers, Mike

... that's a pretty good example of someone who has gone AWOL leading with his chin. ;-) Expectantly, Cheers, pplater.

... and Mike calls himself a moderator - sheeesh! ;-) Cheers, pplater.

...watch at the moment, so cannot participate this time around. My largest watches are 42mm, and here's a photo of one of my "big" favorites! Cheers, Daos Habring2 at 42mm 'big.'...  

... you still have two wrists, don't you? To plagiarise our esteemed general manager - "Woman up!" ;-) Cheers, pplater.

is a U BOAT Classico and it is heavy tooo...  

... as to whether that is a watch or a clock! We will all be interested to hear how your week went, and what treatment is recommended for acute scoliosis... Cheers, pplater.

i think this is the most expensive watch that i have since i have invested 4 years of my life going to the gym to be able to wear it! wakakakaka

cool watch. is it 50mm ?!

It was a toss up between the 177 below and the Sinn U1 both coming in at 44mm. Seeing as the crown guard of the 177 adds a few extra mm it will get worn for the week. Of late the Panerai had fallen out of favour as I found my self leaning towards pieces a...  

Although the PAM 177 gives you the crown guard, the Sinn U1 stands 14.4mm high, against the Panerai's 12.5mm. Additionally, the Sinn weighs in at ~175 grams but the Ti PAM 177 barely manages ~100 grams in buckle and strap. However, it will be most interes... 

My Pam 000. I love it!!! And I am happy to report that in my neck of the woods, big watch week takes places several times a year Cheers, Alex...  

That must take you back, Alex! It looks like you will be having a thoroughly enjoyable week - 'see' you on the weekend. Cheers, pplater.
