PSA for people that think the standard JLC Reverso is a touch too small and the Grande size is a third too big: The Grande Ultra Thin is perfectly sized for a 7" wrist and does not look clunky/out of place. A couple millimeters makes a huge difference.

Do you get in the water with it on? I always take my watch off when I get in the water or on the jet ski, would love to hear what you guys do.

know some of you consider the rolex submariner, and the likes, a beater watch but do you wear a less expensive watch, i.e. luminox, for outdoor activities?

I wear my Omega Planet Ocean in the water without issue......scuba diving, snorkeling, pool, etc. I just rinse it off in fresh water afterwards. That's what they're made for, after all.

Be careful where you leave it when you hit the beach volley circuit. You can't trust those bikinis!

I wear an F1 to play tennis but that's only because of the shock. Explorer II on a NATO for everything else (sailing, soldiering, work, gym etc) except the ocean where I leave it on land. If it falls off in a pool I can find it, not so much for the ocean.

For some reason unknown to me, I like the Top Gun IWC.


The watch pictured is not a top gun iwc but it is a ceramic iwc nonetheless. I disliked top gun as a
Movie and so I refused to buy the top gun
