I too love the 'old' 34mm. I have 5 of them but can't post pics because of insufficient posts

Such a great thread! I bought a Tudor Prince Oysterdate and thought I would wear it now and then for special occasions. Fast forward a few months and it gets more wear than most of my other watches, including my 16600. It is just so comfortable on the wrist.

I just added a 6426 Precision without a bracelet; looking at this thread might make me bite the bullet and buy a bracelet for it. Hope to see more photos.

I have a 34mm Tudor Oyster that never leaves my wrist (so much so my Speedy hardly gets a look in). I love the size and having the oyster case and bracelet (sooo comfortable) but no Rolex dial is really making me want one. I hate date windows but i have a ridiculous craving for a 6694 or 1500. For some reason i really want the cyclops.

Check out this Hodinkee podcast with Eric Ku, he mentions that 34mm's can be the up and coming hot new thing:

And here's my new love:

I have a 31mm and goes well with my small wrists.
The 34mm looks fine I think just a tad bit smaller than a 36.
They lol great and have plenty of options.

Thanks A bracelet would be great but I imagine the correct 19mm Rolex rivet could be worth more than the watch itself

I'm kind of a field watch guy at heart so the beat up OD canvas is getting me by for now.

Got my 19 mm 7205 Swiss rivet bracelet with 57 end links for about 400 USD a few years ago. Not prohibitive. If you can find one, that is...

I see, I'll be on the look out for one. It definitely does look great on your field dial 7809 there. I wonder if any of that variation were sent to Greenland..

Thanks.. for whatever reason I'm always drawn to the chapter rings that show sub-minute gradations, gives it a bit of a scientific look you don't see much anymore.
