Whoah. Nice response/buzz. Thanks for all the kind words guys. Preciate it.

And, yup. The croc is OEM. It is darn near perfect. Still, I'm craving one of those nubuck straps also ...

We aim to please. Omega???

Yes, I do prefer Omegas, but I especially prefer more simple looking watches overall.

Okay, you're a tough one. How about this?

Beautiful!

Amazing pics, and amazing watches! I'm curious, is that the 40mm version? How easy is it for you to alternate between that watch and the Explorer I without feeling one is too large or too small?

hee, hee. That was too much fun. Okay, back to reading about clothes for me ...

Thanks!

The PAM 112 is 45mm, and yes, at times, I do *almost* feel self conscious wearing it (not quite but almost). I think my 7" wrist is big enough to handle it; it's just freaking big. The Explorer, on the other hand, is always tasteful and very subtle. Plus, it is built like a tractor so I don't worry about it much.

Interesting, the PAM didn't look that much bigger than the Rolex in your photo. I think it sits quite well on your wrist, my wrist is also 7 inches but the biggest watch I like on my wrist is 40mm. I guess PAMs are wider than they are tall.

I asked about the Rolex because I tried the Exp. I when I was deciding between that and the Exp. II. I felt it looked a little small on my 7in wrist (small for a sports watch, that is), but I'm now yearning for a vintage Oyster non-Professional model. However I still am concerned that I'd find it too small (every other piece I own is between 38 and 40mm).

I'm assuming all those are yours? If so, you have a lovely collection. Well done, wear them in good health

On second thought, I may go for this De Ville Co-Axial GMT Midsize instead of the Seamaster in my earlier post:

Anyone own this and would be kind enough to provide a wrist shot? Does the De Ville line have in house movements?

Anyone know if they are using a new in-house movement on the Speedmaster as well? Edit - Holy shit ZJ! Do you own that?
