Can I cut this to the chase? Get the full size. Many watches work best at 34, 36, 38mm. The SMP does not. Just buy the 41mm and make it work.

I’m pretty sure he has the full size 41 mm. It feels too big for him.

Even Prince bloody William wishes his mother had thought ahead, she bought the child size for him, when he was a child. Now it looks daft.
Pretty sure he already owns the full size 41 mm. He doesn't like the way it feels.

for how long have you been wearing these watches?

The SMP's I've worn off and on for more than five years.

I agree with you that the 36.25mm SMP looks too small. I own one. But the 37-38mm TAG Heuer 1000 and 2000 do not. The TAG Heuer 39mm Aquaracer is not too small. The Tudor Black Bay 58 (39mm) is not too small. I also owned the Tudor Black Bay 54 (37mm) and loved it. I only sold it because I prefer blue dial watches.

If Omega comes out with the long-rumored 39ish mm SMP I will probably buy it and make that my daily.

Edit - I already own the 2531.80 and 2541.80 SMP's that are 41mm.

It's been two months since I started this thread. The 41mm SMP has lost. My rotation has been between the TAG Heuer 2000, TAG Heuer 1000, and the 36.2mm Omega Aqua Terra. All three are close together in size and on the smaller side.

I was in denial for many years that I could get along with the 41mm SMP. I really wanted to love the watch but just can't abide the size.

Now my dilemma is whether I keep a watch I'm not wearing just for sentimental reasons.

As Lee Corso would say, "Not so fast my friend!"

The SMP has made a comeback. I just can't give up on this watch. The idea of wearing a TAG Heuer every day over an Omega doesn't sit right with me. You have to be one pathetic loser to wear a TAG Heuer.



I've been wearing the SMP every day for week and I'm loving it. Now I need to decide which watch I want to wear every day and which I want to sell, the quartz GoldenEye 2541.80 or the automatic 2531.80.

I think I'll keep the 6000. I'll probably sell the 1000 and 2000. The 6000 is a wonderful bit of 90s oddball 90s design. I feel like I'm in a time machine when I wear it.

It also amuses me that I bought TAG Heuer's 90s flagship watch for under $500.

I'm not keeping two watches that are identical except for the movement. But I've made my choice, the quartz GoldenEye is staying and the 2531.80 will be sold.

I'm working my entire collection down to 4 pieces. Dress, Dive, GADA, and digital sports (i.e., Timex Ironman). I have a lot of selling to do.
