Need to work on them wrists boy. I'm the opposite...44s (big) look "normal" on my wrist so that traditional sized watches...even a 42 Speedy...look a bit small.

What's wrong with manual wind? Some of my best let me enjoy that ritual every morning.

Watches are like wearing Cobras on your wrist...we can immediately recognize another human with the same fine madness. My client and I had to meet with a retired assembly speaker with decidedly opposite political views for a chat so he could carry a message for us to the other side of a labor dispute. My client was concerned I was going to just go on the attack and kept reminding me to be nice. When we all sat down, we noticed each other's Panerais and ended up talking about them for 40 minutes and the business at hand for 10 minutes, leaving as buds. Things worked out perfectly...client never teases me about my watches now. Course, sorta knew beforehand which watch to wear...knew Awnold had pushed him and a few others towards PAMs during those cigar meetings under the tent (my daughter worked for him during both terms).
