Fits me better than the larger version.
Would involve selling 8 CWs, 2 Speedmasters, SD GS, Milgauss and putting in some cash!

I think I'd be up for doing that - although it would have to be the centre-seconds or dual-time for me.

Richard is correct. Centre seconds is better- if it fits.
I do appreciate that the CW/nCW threads are full of folk wearing oversized watches, but I will try something appropriate.

Far better dial. Far worse bracelet.
Agreed
I had a former boss who had a birth year RO when he was born! I offered to buy if a few times - he declined!
