Hi,
i am interested in this watch, but not sure on the cal. (630) being in this model. Also, is this the smaller 'ladies' version. Is it much smaller, anyone have experience with the smaller vs normal size?

thanks

Alex

The dealer's listing includes the exact size right?

"31mm/ 33.8 with crown stainless steel case"

http://www.distinctivepurveyor.com/...rs-gents-vintage-watch-c1968-with-box-papers/

31mm is quite small. I believe the equivalent mens/full size version of this 120 is 38mm w/o crown so this is roughly 20% smaller.

yes that's the listing. 7mm difference with the larger gents version. i don't have both to compare so was just wondering, but you make it sound like it is quite small

Yeah, people forget that while it's only a 5mm increase in diameter, the area is actually 35% bigger. You see that.

That burgundy dial on the ladies' is gorgeous. Did the mens' come in that color also as far as you know?
