While on a unjustifiably long wait list at a local AD, I spent a lot of time researching watches and realized that it is not easy to find even the basic information on watch sizes, in particular the lug to lug distance.

So, although I am not a programmer, i made a site that does just that.

I have collected data on current popular models so that they can be compared, but also compared within categories, such as divers, chronographs etc. New watches can also be added easily. This is a V2 version of the site, I would like it to be a go to place for watch size comparison in the future.

All comments are appreciated.

Pretty cool and helpful sir. Thank you. I normally have to go on YouTube and search. Normally go see Watchbox(Tim Mosso) videos because they have good infos. about watch measurements in the description. If you can add pictures comparison side by side that would be super awesome.

Ichiran · 3 May 2022, 02:11 AM

Good try! Tim's videos at Watchbox Reviews also have all these measurements if it helps.

starilisac · 3 May 2022, 02:15 AM

Tim Mosso is fantastic in that regard, I just wanted to have the similar option in text or table based form.
Thanks!

Great resource. Thank you

johncomer · 3 May 2022, 02:28 AM

Great looking and informative site, thank you.

I admire you for doing this regardless of whether others do it too. This hobby needs more of this not for profit but just because energy.

great job!

amphr1 · 3 May 2022, 02:36 AM

awesome job!

feature request, watch image?

dannyp · 3 May 2022, 02:39 AM

Also acknowledging: very cool, and very needed!

If I may add one other often difficult-to-find dimension: dial. When comparing two 38mm watches, they'll obviously wear very differently based on dial size.

huba01 · 3 May 2022, 03:00 AM

Thanks

Meyrin · 3 May 2022, 03:16 AM

How enterprising! Your site is not only very clever but also very useful, starilisac!

And so easy to use. Thank you so much, I've bookmarked it! I hope you can keep developing and expanding the site!

gnardex · 3 May 2022, 03:44 AM

Wow this is the informations I'm always looking for

great job!
By the way : in your program the Sea Dweller has a lugwidth of 21
I guess it's 22 (at least mine is 22)

ciao!

aba123 · 3 May 2022, 04:30 AM

good job! thank you. very useful.

something that would be cool to add is older references as well, feks 1675, 16700 and so on.

DLRIDES · 3 May 2022, 04:51 AM

Great job sir

interestedinwatches · 3 May 2022, 05:19 AM

Cool site, but since your aim with this website is to help people on wearability, then my suggestion is to give the actual accurate dimensions of a watch since the dimensions you have on your site is inaccurate. Not due to fault of your own, but Rolex is inaccurate themselves. For example the Submariner41 is listed at 41mm instead of 40.5, the Daytona is listed as 40mm as opposed to the true size of 38.5mm, The DJ41 is listed as 41mm as opposed to its true size at 39.5mm. Just a few that I checked for examples. No point in using metrics like this if it doesn't help with true measurements.

starilisac · 3 May 2022, 06:28 AM

Thanks to everyone for the comments, really appreciate them.
Even the objective topic of watch dimensions can be a slippery slope, especially with watch diameters which are taken for granted as claimed by the manufacturers and are parts of names of watches.

This is why I chose to focus on lug to lug primarily as here the data is mostly measured by third parties and thus more objective.

I might add a "true diameter" field in the future, this probably would be for the best.

akili_2000 · 3 May 2022, 06:32 AM

Good job

PO 2500D · 3 May 2022, 06:55 AM

Good job, but I'll point out the Skydweller has a lug width of 21 not 19.

HogwldFLTR · 3 May 2022, 07:01 AM

I like it; quick and easy!

synrrgy · 3 May 2022, 08:10 AM

Very nice. Once you populate it with more models and manufacturers, this would be even more useful!

amanbra · 3 May 2022, 08:27 AM

wow good on you. I hope this builds up well and you're able to attract some site sponsorship for your efforts.

goodolejr · 3 May 2022, 08:49 AM

JohnGingerwood · 3 May 2022, 10:18 AM

Thank you!!

Ichiran · 3 May 2022, 11:02 AM

Another point to consider is that L2L may not be representative of how a watch wears, that's why Tim's videos also provide another measurement from rigid end-link to end-link, like for example the case and bracelet of the AP Royak Oak. I find this measurement extremely useful.
