Very nice piece. I like the clean looking dial, makes for a great dressy elegant piece.

Speed · 26 March 2010, 12:05 PM

Starkly gorgeous!!!

Widows Son · 27 March 2010, 12:15 AM

Now THAT'S a dress watch!!!! Next time someone posts how Bond wore a Sub with a Tux, and that's OK, we'll dig up this thread and show them what a real dress watch looks like. Congrats of a gorgeous piece.

No watch should be worn with a tuxedo; social etiquette promotes that it's insulting to your host/hostess, as you shouldn't be concerned with time during the event.

I agree...this point has been discussed many many and many times in the main forum when people bring up wearing the Sub to a formal function (i.e. wedding)...but each to their own (including fictional James Bond)

Yes you are technically correct regarding the Tux. That being said, I like to know what time it is. If I'm wearing a Tux my watch hides under my cuff anyway, nobody sees it. My overall thought was regarding how some people think a sports watch can be worn with a suit, ect.

boa2 · 27 March 2010, 08:21 AM

Breathtaking, Phil. A perfect, stunning watch. Enjoy!

What size is the watch? It doesn't look small at all

Glad you enjoyed the wedding!

Carl...the watch is actually 35mm...and I have a 6.5-in wrist...
but my collection goes from 35 to 44mm..and I am thinking about a 47mm

the 35-40 are good sizes for dressing up...

Well, perhaps we can conclude that size doesn't matter. Perhaps it is the rather thin bezel which makes it look bigger?

No matter what; awesomely looking calatrava! Love the simplicity

That watch is beautiful

Simple elegance at it's finest

Sweramic · 15 June 2010, 04:29 AM

Can't but think of this watch from time to time... If the dollar gets cheaper, I might consider buying one from the states.

I am in need of a dressier watch (although I rarely attend formal meetings and such, I really like to wear one).

Pure class, Phil.

Thanks for sharing.
