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

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)

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

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).
