• I did make the mistake of recommending the 36mm... She says it's to big. She'd be happy with a 24mm... I convinced her that today is bigger.

    I had no say in it though. Else she'd be enjoying a Uboat.

  • Well it looks spot on to me ( although obvs agree that a U Boat is the obvious choice for a mum).

    There are advantages to having the bigger size - easier to read. My mum was after a new watch for Christmas. She was away with my sis for Xmas so I had the pleasure of FaceTime from a well refreshed mother late in the day. Mum was super excited as my sis had got her a Rolex! Blimey, all I got was a book and some gloves. Well, it turns out that Mum’s eyes weren’t good enough to properly see the name - she saw it began with an R and took a guess. My sis eventually put her straight that it was actually a Rotary...
