Horological Meandering

My first Omega Seamaster was the 1982 'Polaris' version with calibre 1420. When I bought it, and I still have it, as you can see,( this picture is very difficult to fake...and the Porsche phone will date it.), I was so stupid to think that it was TOO big ...  

The pro plof is hefty?No? cheers PAt

is heavy if you were to hold it on the palm. BUT...on certain wrists, the weight is good...it has the very strong advantage of having a pressure adjusted cuff...and the comfort level requires adjustment a few hours after wearing it..and then it becomes a ... 

tastes change over time. Watch sizes have certainly increased although I still prefer mostly the smaller cased versions (33-38mm). You have been collecting from your earliest days--spearguns, fins, etc. Good to see your Omega preferences. tempusfugit

Hand/wrist fracturing-ly large watches... It's amazing how much watch sizes have changed over the past 30 years...

I find this phenomena is not at its end, but that shape is the next. And to go 3d. Thats why I placed the MBF2 there.

Of the watches Bernard and your thoughts on the growing sizes. I am however lost on why anyone would think you would want to fake the photo or is it just to show us (or off) that you have the new Porsche Blackberry?? Cheers Andrew

Just kidding. I didn't have to pay for it, so I guess it does not count. But the point I was trying for, was to show that the OLD Titane was actually kept, and not photoshopped into the group. But you are right. One thing....there are many ways people rea... 

Personally, i think big watches look ugly on small wrist generally except on ladies' wrists, strangely. Regards Ling

I can get away with a few..but normally it is the Devon and the mbf1 that I can get away with.
