As mentioned earlier, anything under 44mm looks like a women's watch on my wrist. Not everyone can wear bigger watches and have them look normal......I can.

Guitar, do you have the PO 2500

I know, big man. It just is not my flavor. I think you'd be better off with 2 pieces with more variety. Those 2 are way too similar. Or putting the funds together and getting something a little nicer.

Interesting......I am definitely going with the PO first because I've already tried it on and love it. I need to find an AD that has the Super Avenger in stock and try it on first. So you only wear this guy with short sleeve then?
Chrono vs. non-chrono are pretty different IMO. Similar would be the Omega PO and the Breitling Super Ocean, that were discussed earlier in the thread.
PO is a fantastic choice, hands down. Definitely try the SA on.

Just updated my last post. So you only wear your blue SA with short sleeves?

The rubber is starting to crack a bit. Will probably replace with a Nato strap this year.

I havent worn it in over a year, but i used to wear it with long sleeve polos which stretch or i can roll the sleeves up
I find it odd that there are watches that are so big you cannot wear long sleeves.
quote:you can wear long sleeves; the sleeves just won't fit over the watch; and it looks a bit awkward.

There is always the Gianni Agnelli approach:

had to go out and buy a watch to resurrect this thread from the dead.
Pulled the trigger on this one yesterday, I've been hearing more and more about Christopher Ward and the amazing build quality of their dive watches which sell for well under $1,000. The bezel looks more maroon than red and I thought it might be a good watch for football season. This one checks the boxes for me; 43mm, Zirconia Ceramic bezel; solid looking bracelet; I figured I'd give it a go. At about $800 bucks; you really don't have much to lose. Should get it sometime next week from Jolly old London.

Watches tell you what time of day it is.
So you already have a similar dive watch? Why not go a different route?
Any interest in a Tag Heuer Indy 500?
Have the box, warranty card, paperwork and original bill of sale with tags. Box has a few marks on it. Not perfect but decent.
Serviced by Tag in February, new battery installed.
Asking $800 or open to trades.

Yeah, I'm selling the Tag now that I'm a Rolex owner.
I realize that this thread is high end watches but might someone offer advice on a classic vintage style clean look watch for less than say $200?

A lot of people have promoted the Seiko skx007. I think it looks pretty sharp and will probably get one soon. It's "around" $200.
