New shoes for one of the Geneve's...

Today I found some time to shop for a new strap.

Amazing how a strap can change the looks of a watch completely.





I love this new combination...

It's amazing how fast you get used to smaller watch sizes...

I have a 8.25" wrist, very large hands and am 6'5" tall. Small watches just look funny on me. Panaria's dont even look large on me.

Given your size, you may want to consider the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Chronometer:
