:r:lol:

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

48mm is normal this day and age old timer.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thanks Joe Joe, that is huge for my wrist. I am comfortable with abotu 42-43mm at the largest.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Depends what kind of watches you are looking at. How many Patek and Vacheron's are that size? Does Rolex have something bigger than 43 mm?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That's NOTHING compared to my 52mm Invicta :r

Got a couple new flieger straps for my Steinhart, both made from waxed buffalo leather. Hard to take decent photos without reflections in the crystal with an iPhone :(

Very nice, I like both options!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I dig the tan strap, gives it a unique look.

Finally heard back from the place that has my Tag, just needs a thorough service. They knocked the price down to closer to their cost to make me happy. Can't wait to get it back on my wrist. From now on I'm only sending my timepieces to the manufacturers service center.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That's good they lowered the cost :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Yep and way better than the $600 new movement the "authorized" repair center tried to stick me with.

Nice, I am down to two currently, Seiko 007 diver and a G-Shock for work.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That's all? I don't think I could part with my watch collection. But I probably said the same about my knives at one point and I've downsized a lot.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Ya, I used to have about 10 watches, all gone now.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I didn't know where else to post this except here. Anyone ever got a rash from their watch? I got my Invicta this past Christmas, and like all my jewelry I do not take it off (for showers or sleep or anything). Well for the past 2 weeks I have broken out in a rash. I have put some hydrocortisone cream on it, but it doesn't seem to be going away. It doesn't itch, it's just gross to look at lol.

Any suggestions to get rid of the rash or a remedy to not have this happen again, I love my watch and I want to wear it. I spoke to a coworker and a doctor at the shop (gyno not dermatologist) who both said to try clear nailpolish, I did a google search and have heard clear glue and tape as well. Is there a band or something I could put on my wrist instead of doing this or what do you think about this?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

How tight are you wearing the watch? This sounds to me either like a reaction to a metal used in the band/case back or your skin reacting to extended pressure and a lack of breathability under the strap. If it's either of those simple hydro-cortisone (or similar) steroid creme and leaving the watch off for a few days should clear it right up. If it's the breathablity issue than just take your watch off at night and that should prevent it from recurring. If not get a referral to a dermatologist and consult an expert ;)

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

No, I leave my watch loose, I like it to move for the very reason my other watches I have had were too tight and the sun couldn't get to my skin and it would cause a white irritation and flakiness, am I just doomed not to be able to wear a watch? I am thinking I am having an allergic reaction to the nickel to the steel as I have been reading. I haven't had the watch on for 2 weeks now, I even switched wrists to see if I was allergic to the nickel or not and the stems stabbed my hand, so had to ditch that idea.
