The majority of US watches posted on this thread - and yes, I’m looking at you; Bulova, Benrus, Elgin, Waltham and Wyler (and I hope I’ve got that right) - all seem to be teensy 33mm watches. Pretty enough but too small even for my skinny wrists.

Why did the US manufacturers make these small size watches when the Swiss models we covet were nearly all 34/34.5mm?

 

I suppose Americans back in the day had some class about them. Ha

Sadly Ebays 'global shipping program' doesn't quite ship globally so I can't buy the majority of American offers, being in the EU myself. It's a pity because I have no problem wearing 31mm or so watches, which tend to come in at great price points due to lower demand.

 

As I said, I’ve got skinny wrists but I thought I could wear smaller happily.

I paid a noob tax, buying a 31/32 Garrard which was far too small and I never wore it.

 

I feel for you mate. Just box it up and send it to me and I'll dispose of it so you won't have to ever see it again.

 

And didn't feel they had to make up for any shortcomings.
Few things irritate me more than a gawky big watch that hangs up on a pocket or slams crystal first against a door frame. I don't like leaving a sleeve unbuttoned to see my watch at a glance.

 

Too late - went to one of my daughters

 

Certina with some lume. Looks like some rotor rub on the case back. Any certina experts want to chime in? https://www.ebay.com/itm/265016404636Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

The seller has already unlisted/relisted this 4 times, increasing the price each time. Interesting approach. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VG-cont-19...972432?hash=item1cfe9fd710:g:evQAAOSwAbFf-8lsPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

When he finally lists it for $3k, Hondinkee will do a bring a loupe on it and it will sell in seconds.

 

Love those hour markers. Wish it was bigger than 32mm.

 

Those lugs!!!!

 

Someone is looking after me "Does not ship to the UK"

 

I’m sure someone over here would help you out with that
