I was looking at a 36mm....

I saw the discussion about the 36 mm sizes from today right before I picked this up brand new from my AD this afternoon … bring on the HATE and the LOVE … this one is sure to be polarizing

My DateJust is 36 and I wouldn't have any other size. It's perfect. My JLC is a 40 and it feels pretty dang wide in comparison.

Not everyone has to like the size, but i can guarantee you the opinions of the people who would give you ****, aren't worth paying attention to anyway lol.

Anyone ever give their daily watch a good cleaning? Mine is super funky because I never take it off and I could definitely benefit from giving it a bath. May have to get out my power carver and put a buff wheel on it to get it shined up as well.

I normally just take it to a local AD and have them steam the heck out of it.

I actually originally was going to ask if the AD will clean it like the local jeweler does for jewelry, but thought that may be a dumb question. Ill have to stop by a rolex ad soon then.

Yeah any Rolex AD should be happy to give you a quick steam. Really makes the Watch look great

How do you like it vs the previous green? Looks a little TOO bright green for my taste in the pic, but that may just be how it's showing up on the screen.

I like it much better reminds me of the og kermit 16610. The lighting changes it pretty significantly as you can see here but I like the brighter look much better

The battery in my Mondaine quartz gave out. Is there a decent place to get it replaced in the Tomball/Champions/Willowbrook/Spring area?

Could i just take it to like a Jared's?

I don't need anything super fancy but i really like the watch and would prefer someone that gives a **** about what they are doing. Not opposed to a mall kiosk guy if he's reliable.

There's a clock store in Old Town Spring. Name escapes me. Right around the corner from Corkscrew. There's also the angry Asian jeweler Phi's on Louetta. Not sure how reliable he is with quality watches but I get my quartzes changed there.

The case size thing definitely depends on your build, too. A 36 would look like a kid's watch on me.

Hey I too have an Asian watch guy. Masters Worshop #2 on barkers cypress.

He isn't angry just kind of crazy about Covid. Still makes you mask up before he buzzes you back

Yeah that's fair. I'm a pretty average sized guy so I'd imagine it would look odd if I was a bigger/taller guy.

What kind of work does he do for you? I imagine most of the time you go to an AD.

Since I buy a lot of watches online, he does most of my watch sizing and whenever I want a watch put on a different strap.

I get we are all built differently, but I'm so glad I don't have to wear womens watches.

What a strange thing to perseverate on. You've made multiple comments in this thread about women's sized watches.

Please enlighten us on what the correct size is for a man's watch?

Beautiful watch! Was this something you'd ordered or did you just walk in and buy it off the display? I'm just curious about lead times for new watches at MSRP these days.
