What time is it? Watches and horology

The 007 wears smaller than you might think – the lugs are quite short so it looks fine on my puny 6.5" wrists.

@spotter PM'd, very kind.

@Well_is_it I've heard this from a few places but still have this niggling feeling I'll look comical or uncouth.

The 007 really doesn't wear big at all, it's a very nice size. The only issue I had was with the case around the crown digging into my wrist, but your wrist geometry may vary.

I actually prefer the offset crown because it doesn't dig into my wrist when riding unlike other watches wheres its a 45 degrees

This was one of the reasons I got one in the first place. Offset crown is great for cycling.

On that topic, quick poll:

Who here wears their watch on their right wrist to avoid the crown digging in?

Depends on the bike...

o_O

A++ would lol again

How so?

I can see where you might be coming from in that on my beach cruiser my watch crown would not be a problem if it was being worn on the left. On the other hand (pun intended) when riding my MTB it has to be on the right.

Yeah, MTBing I find it just bounces around and the crown starts to hurt so I wear it facing inwards. Commuting, it doesn't matter.

I wear my watch on my right wrist because I always have. Tried switching it every so often, feels really uncomfortable

Same. Have always worn on the right, for some reason my right hand isn't dexterous enough to tighten a strap on my left wrist. Other way is fine.

Although this solves the crown problem

Whats wrong with that?!

I like it

I am mildly obsessing over seiko giugiaro Aliens watch.
Worry the odd button bit may sit a little funny on my wrist.

Didnt someone on here buy one recently?

@radar has one, I think.

I really like it.

They are amazing. Do it.

They did a reissue with the same shape a few years after as well which had multiple colours as well.

Damn it! I thought I had put this one away, makes me want one again!

I do. It's quirky and fun, but I don't really use it as a daily wearer, it just gets wheeled out every now and then. It's nice, but feels (just a little) overpriced.

I love the look of them but the recent reissue has climbed in price. I should have got in early and bought one for RRP.

I just checked what they've been selling for on eBay, £5-600+! Too much. Mine was £210, including import duty and postage, and it feels like a £150-200 watch.

Creation have some for £260-290 (recent reissue/ clone)
Probably more than I am willing to spend TBH.

Yo forum salez...

Can any get hold of latest Daytona release?

I have a silent partner with cash money.

A mate of mine is on a 2 year waiting list... He ordered on release day.
