    Great pic showing William with his Omega Seamaster Pro mid-size quartz watch that Diana gave him when he was younger, still looks great after all the years he's had it:

    I'm sure it was a 21st Birthday gift. :)

    Not sure about that, I was almost certain it was in the 1990s from Diana which is why its a mid-size (boys size) rather than a full size.

    Wait a sec - 36.25 mm isn't boy's size! Traditionally 29 - 32 mm is the boy's watch dimension.

    Well, its all relative really, in sports diving watches 36mm could be considered boys size and 42mm is full size, if you ask a Panerai owner, 42mm is probably boys size lol

    I guess mid-size is the more correct term for the SMP, but because he was a young teenager when he got it, that sort of explains why its both the smaller size and quartz.

    No worries, I was just having a little fun. It's certainly relative as you say. One thing we all would probably agree on is that Kate's a babe. ::love::

    I have /practically/ the same watch (well, the auto chrono full size version) so women should probably find me equally attractive

    I'm sure someone around here would say he's now ready for a more manly watch! :D

    I agree, I understand the sentimentality, but I was kind of hoping his wife would have giving him a modern era smp full size... recognition of the past, but a statement of the present and current woman in his life...

    get his mom out of their bed... I also found it kind of creepy that he gave her his mothers ring...
    again, something based on the design, but more modern would seem more appropriate to me...
    but I will admit to habing mental health issues...

    Using heirloom engagement rings is an aristocratic thing. Totally standard for the Royal Family.

    And, maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect she has about as much interest in watches as I do in Polo :)

    I was fairly sure he was rocking a Daytona. He's mates with Stuart who owns Watchfinder so I reckon Tinds has a few on rotation.
