I’m in Lake Buena Vista/Disney Springs,FL ATM and I visited a nice watch store today, Luxury of Time. They have Hublot, Breitling, Zenith, Ulysse Nardin,TAG Heuer and pre owned Rolex. Nice place for sure!
I don’t live near any good watch dealers so coming out here and stumbling upon this was a treat I wasn’t prepared for. I didn’t get anything though, not even a Citizen.
Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.
I was drooling over a Breitling Chronomat and the line of Zenith watches. It was a pleasant surprise but I just wasn’t prepared.

Haha I was gonna say he`s been well trained! But we can give him credit for willpower of his own.
That Breitling Chronomat is pretty slick looking. And the specs on it are pretty hefty too. I don`t know much about their in-house movements though.
I watched this video on Hodinkee yesterday that explains how the spring drive movement works; I think I found my "aspire-to" watch.

I haven’t worn a watch for many years, probably close to 20. This thread got the gears turning and I have an exam coming up where I needed a watch so I ordered a Citizen Eco drive promaster tough in black. I originally tried an Invicta but it was way too small on my wrist at 37mm.
Comparison below. It doesn’t look much smaller but on the wrist it was.
I spent more than I should have on the Quartz movement Citizen but I love it.
Some day I will start to grow my collection.

audicoupej- Good on you for matching the watch to your wrist size-wise. Makes sense to me, my Sub is 40mm (IIRC) and it looks right on my somewhat small wrist (sure wouldn`t want something bigger). Too many people wear watches that are way too big IMO, but as you found, sometimes it does go the other way.
I have a small wrist too(have to get a link removed from the bracelet to size the watch properly) and 40mm looks just fine on me.
I believe the current trend of oversized watches will fade and sizes like 36 and 40mm will be prevalent again.

Same here, had a few removed back in the day and then added most back as the exercise changed things.
Heh heh, I`d think that "bigger is better" might stick around for a while but I`d love to be proven wrong.I believe the current trend of oversized watches will fade and sizes like 36 and 40mm will be prevalent again.
Like I should talk..back when I got my Sub it must`ve looked huge on me But it was still exactly right for me, one of the few things I can still say that about >40 years on!
The Sub is so iconic and classic, Rolex decided not to mess with its size. They just upped the Datejust and Day-Date which I think look weird in their large size, but they must be selling very well.

It’s probably considered average by today’s standards

Could be...I`m hopelessly ignorant about the current trends. Once I decided to not pursue the Reverso I basically quit thinking about watches Guess I`m just happy to have that Category 100% fulfilled to my satisfaction...like, "this is my watch. full stop." Gee, I`m kinda that way about my cars these days too!
But if anything, I`d have thought that some kind of, uhm..advances...would make it easier to pack all that stuff into a thinner case and that the "wafer thin" watches would be status symbols. Perhaps that`s too subtle for the times at present.
