I would prolly change the band if possible, but I really like the watch.

I love my Seiko's and Citizen's. I think dollar for dollar, you cannot get a better watch.

Nice watch by the way...

i agree. However the aformentioned watch is not one of those. I rarely come across an invict that is light in weight and Doesnt have a sturdy feel to it. But this is one of them. And it looks like its going to fall apart. And weighs about 2 ounces lol

Here is the watch I just picked up. It has an auto dive mode that turns on when I get below 1 meter. It records the depth, temp and dive time. Picked it up used

Someday I would like to have one of these. I am in love with Hamiltons, they make some classy watches:

The white face one is on sale for $322 on Overstock plus I have a 10% off coupon, seems like a great deal:

Hamilton does make some nice watches and they aren't expensive either. They tend to be discounted heavily. Another Swatch Group brand.

What size do you think is best for a case? Around 40-42?
Do they count the crown when they talk about that measurement?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Depends. If you look on Amazon, if its sold by amazon alot of the waches they show a face next to ruler. They also show some of them on a fake wrist for size comparison. Yeh I like 40-42mm range. It's manly but not huge.

I want this

38-42 is the most classic size for chrono or military. Any larger and it becomes more trendy in styling. The crown is not measured in case diameter.

Oh. My. God...

This thing is incredible. Gears upon gears upon gears upon gears.

Check out the Harry Winston Opus Watch videos in the suggestions box, too. Truly amazing.

42mm is a good size for smaller wrists, not too small, but not overwhelming :tu
