dropping knowledge per usual. agree with all that. not much more to say.
that being said, imo, dont let anyone tell you what to buy. ask questions about things you are unsure of, gather data, and then decide based on what appeals most to you. do that, and you have the highest chance of being confident and happy with your purchase, whatever it may be.

Hi Scott,
unlike with certain guitars, in the price range you are considering for a watch, even with smaller companies you probably are not getting any real hand workmanship. Most very small independents in this price range rely on a variety of sources and simply cobble together a watch. Sorry, but I've seen watches like this and I don't believe there is as much hand workmanship by this manufacturer as they would like you to believe.
As for the JLC chronograph in your photo, I think at 34 mm on a 7.5 inch wrist, its going to look like you borrowed your girlfriend's watch. If you stick with a round case don't go below 36 mm. Square or rectangular cases wear larger and so you have more room to deviate when it comes to case size on those.
Wish you luck on your hunt for the right watch.
