... it was auctioned on Bonhams today. Estimate was surprisingly low, £6000-£8000, so I was hoping, but in the end it went for £19.000. Seems the collectors are preparing for the 40th anniversary next year ... Btw: There is another 3700 up for auction in two weeks: ,-rare-jumbo-nautilus,-with-origin

Not very hairy wrists, anyway, one has to suffer a bit for beauty, no? Hehe.

I agree that the picture you showed was too big a watch on too small a wrist. But I am fairly confident it won't look like that on me. Maybe I have more flat wrists or something, this is my Osterquartz, which is about 42 mm lug to lug -- same as the 3700 -- and you can see that there is still more w
