I have small wrists, so the size was one of the major reasons that drove me to purchase these. The 35mm is perfect for me.

Heuer 1000 Dive watch (from pre tag days). Got the watch last week. Got the Bond Nato strap today. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic:

One of the Omega's just arrived. Smaller than I anticipated, but I think it still works.

very nice looking watch.

I just bought a Tommy Hilfiger watch, it's not top of line watch compare to some of you guys, but it's by far my most expensive watch. I have a question: The watch manual said "The watch has a 1.55 vol silver-oxide batter. It is specially designed for watches and will last approximately 18-36 months under normal use. It is important to use only the replacement battery recommended by Tommy Hilfiger watches. Many "interchangeable" batteries(such as hearing aid batteries) will not work properly in your watch or might damage it.
"
Do you guys take your watches to a service section for battery service?

Very very nice, perfect size. I have two Omega Seamasters with the white dials and in search of a nice one with a black dial.

Thanks for the compliments. It's actually a navy dial, but I like the color combo with the brown leather. It's a little small in person compared to the picture, but I'm pretty satisfied with the purchase.

Gorgeous, those older Bulovas are bulletproof - I have a 50's 21J Lord Elgin with almost the exact same case. Classic!
