These five were in my box of projects. They all run but need a service, and in the case of the Lone Eagle a second hand.

Mother's watch that was her high school graduation present. The bracelet is remarkable. Now my wife's watch.

The two Zeniths are gone now, but here are some of mine (all of them no bigger than 31mm):

Tazio Nuvolari? He's not as tough as he looks.

Great thread. This one has a 30.6mm case, caliber 26.5 SOB and is signed RATTRAY & CO, DUNDEE on the dial. I once ordered a very expensive balance to finish the project but somehow it was thrown away in its envelope by mistake.



And also at 30.6mm is this nice Omega CS (I) with lots of tabacco build up on the dial, and once again in non-working condition.

A gift from a good friend and forum member and worn by our eldest daughter and I should ad that although she wears an I Watch daily this is the watch whenever she dresses up 👍

Here's my "vintage" 1988 Seiko that seemed normal size to me when I bought it. 32mm by 38 by 5.5. Feels like a dime on my wrist now. Though most of the watches I currently wear are still in the 36-39mm range, but thicker.
