That reminds me of some limited edition watch I saw online where the different numbers were like, on spinning gears when they displayed the time. It was also ridiculously expensive.

Just bought this watch the other day, figured I'd contribute to the thread.

Yes they make 40mm models but why bother?
Embrace the enormousness and get a 44mm.

Yes it is. My fingers are crossed.

Also, the Royal Oak in its simplest form and smallest size is really very nice.


I love the simple RO, time only with the blue dial. Excellent choice!

As for the Panerai, they do have 40mm girl sizes in the Luminor but I woud suggest that you consider the Radiomir.

I can't recall the name. I want to say it had 4 in the name though, like 4n watch, it was a french design and really limited i believe. I think I saw it on uncrate or engadget or one of those types of sites, i'll try to find it but it's proving to be quite elusive ha

hahahah guess 4n was right lol, here it is

You won't believe how rediculously overpriced this piece is. If I had that amount to spend, I'd be buying any one of these over the 4n.

Huh. The jackoff at Torneau told me that the Silverstone was the original Monaco design before Tag took over and turned it into the Monaco. Crap. Now I'll have to add a vintage Monaco to my list.

I am already too large for life. If I wore a 44mm Panerai, physics would break.

(real answer: physical weakness)
