·Thanks for this reassurance re the seller as he will only take transfer or PayPal f&F so I’m a bit nervous.

·You can look at feedback for him by searching in the appropriate forum. Collectors often only accept PayPal F&F, especially from new members, because they want to avoid scammers.

·I bought the above watch I sent! 😅😱 yay. If I could ask one last question (sorry) - where is recommended to get a new strap? I looked at the Omega website and theirs are almost as much as the watch itself haha. Is on here fine / does the strap really matter? I get the vibe it isn’t as big of a deal

·The strap is fine, but if you want something different, go on Etsy/etc. Plenty of folks make straps to order.

·To reassure you on wrist size: I am 185cm (6', 1") and have an average size wrist, 18cm around (7"). I have watches that vary in size from 35mm up to 41mm. They all look good and all feel perfectly fine on the wrist. But I usually prefer the smaller watches😀
Dial diameter often doesn't tell the full story anyway. Lots of smaller vintage watches still have a very strong "wrist presence". The lugs and other design elements will also affect how a watch sits on the wrist.
You've picked a great watch for your husband. It will look fantastic and he will love it.

·As a previous customer of Sneers, I can say that you won't be disappointed.
He was a gent to deal with and my watch arrived promptly and in good condition.
Sneer is one of a very few collectors that I read every advert they post, regardless of what the watch is. I think we have very similar taste.
What I don't understand is where he gets his watches from. Most of the stuff he sell on looks superb.

·Hi!! So it arrived and let me tell you, he loved the watch so much! It was the perfect gift for the wedding day and I don't think it looks too small at all. I added a band from Artisan Straps and it matched his shoes etc. Thank you all SO much for your help!!
