I have long been contemplating getting a 'big boy' watch. My budget is around $1.500 (this is not just because of money, but also for security reasons as i live in Brazil, and do not feel comfortable wearing a too expensive watch)
After much contemplating, I think I have setteled on a used Speedy Reduced. I don't see any other option that gives you as much bang for your buck. My only worry is that I have a 7.3 inch wrist, will I be able to pull of a 39mm watch??
