I have a 7 inch wrist if you want to take a look at my pics. The deployant buckle is right in the middle on the back of my wrist.

And I have the opposite problem, I love blue and wear it all the time. Thus, I have quite a collection of blue dial watches. This is a unique tone though, that I don’t have represented in my collection. Much like the Tudor Pelagos blue is unique as well.

Considering a mesh bracelet from Staib as a “formal” option that doesn’t clash with the color scheme. The question then becomes whether to match the satin sides of the case or the polished lugs.

[mention]Anuj[/mention] - can you tell me your wrist size? I'm reluctant to even try to adjust my strap because I suspect the strap will be too long for me pushing the deployant too far away from the centre of my wrist. Unfortunately I've never yet found a deployant that fits my wrist well

My wrist is 17cm and the deployment and strap are very comfortable, you can also see the deployment is pretty much in the middle. The strap really pairs well with the dial and is something different compared to mainstream pieces.

So can I 'do blue?' ...



This morning at 5.30 am I stepped out with the dog. This I swear - over to my left, in inky darkness, the full moon, low and large. Beautiful. Then, over to my right, the first hint of dawn in the sky - celestial blue


I'm good with celestial blue. Very good

@missF

It's a kind of omniblue

Thanks for letting me know your wrist sizes. Unfortunately my 16cm skinny wrist just doesn't work for this clasp. Fits around the bottom of my wrist nicely - leaving the watch head skewed on top.


It's a real shame because I love the 'biscuit' strap. However, celestial blue looks good with (so far) shiny leather, vintage leather, canvas, even white rubber. Grey is good, pale, taupe, beige is good, tan, mustard and even dark shiny brown is good. Enjoy your strap changes

@missF have you tried swapping the strap ends around on the watch?

You mean just attaching it 'upside down' on the watch? Or doing something more technical?

Yep, swap the strap ends on the watch and try that for fit - it should change where the clasp sits on the underside of your wrist...

Thank you Jon! @jtc
I've swapped it around. It still feels like I just need more wrist to fill the strao, but it's keeping the watch head centered, and I'll wear it a bit now to check for comfort.

Brilliant

Erm.... I'm just going to row back on what I said about never having owned a blue watch ....

a thread I started all about a blue watch I owned where I asked everyone to share their blue watches...

That shade of blue looks fantastic in real world pictures. Definitely a keeper!

It's quite something to see just how much it changes with the changing light
