Love the size Case height vs diameter is spot-on.Only personal quible is the taper on the bracelet.I think it would have been better if they designed it with a slight taper from 21 to 20mm.Lovely clasp design

Oh no, have you tried the YM II yet my friend???
Now that is the watch for you!!

WOOOOOWZERS!

I think the DD II would also look quite classy on you for dressing up.

Most others I can understand as you do have big wrists you lucky one! I am cursed with 6.8 in wrists.

Anyway welcome back again!

Congrats and welcome back.

I saw myself in 2010 also dipping my fingers into IWC and PAM but, closed the year with a bang with another crown.
