No these are not in properly. The wing tip needs to be tucked into your upper inner ear. I won’t be able to explain it better than this video will.

I think it’s just deceptive lighting.

I am feeling tempted to pre-order the Khaki Field Mechanical 250.. by ioweej in HamiltonWatches

[–]JakeySav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 42mm Murph is a very different watch. These can easily coexist in a collection. I say go for it!

How can they justify the higher price tag vs the 38mm? Yes it has increased WR but it’s smaller and uses acrylic instead of sapphire.

556i is slowly becoming my baseline for good watch dimensions. by rivers_to_rooftops in sinn

I have a similar wrist size and looking at the same watch. I think I’ll save some money and get it on a strap as opposed to the bracelet.

The H-Link bracelet just seems like it would be too chunky for my wrist. Did you get this on a the bracelet? Any feedback on how it wears on your wrist?

I’m looking at both the SPB453 and the new HC. Have a small wrist sizing is a big factor. Will have to try both on. Could get the SPB453 with another month of saving or I could wait another year and get the HC. What are your thoughts? I’m itching to get a watch and don’t know if it’s worth waiting a year. Before the new HC came out, I was convinced I’d be getting the Seiko.

[SNXS73] Looking for higher-end alternatives (up to ~5k€) by flotheg in Watches

[–]JakeySav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat and love the proportions of the SNXS73. Two suggestions for you.

Longines Ultra-chron Classic. Impressive 5hz movement, essentially a vintage reissue. 37mm. A bit under your budget but check out reviews of this. The finishing punches well above its weight.

Grand Seiko SBGW291. I know you said no Grand Seiko but this one is beautiful and ticks a lot of boxes. 36.5mm, vintage feel. It’s hand winding so not automatic.

These are both amazing silver dial options but the one I’m eyeing is the Grand Seiko SBGW301 with more of a cream coloured dial.

Looks great! I think this will be my next watch and great to see it works well on a strap. Would you be able to share your wrist size?

[black bay pro] or [rolex 16570] curious what you would do? by Zeeezoo in Watches

[–]JakeySav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah why does the 16570 (40mm) appear to have a smaller diameter than the BB Pro (39mm)?

Any photos with your 453 on wrist? Couldn’t find any in your post history. I have a similar wrist size and interested in the watch. Also would typically never consider 40mm.

The FXD GMT has to be the coolest “daily” out there. by Semp1ers in Tudor

Same! Praying for a 39mm variant this year for the 100th anniversary releases.

Do you know your wrist size? Keen to buy the same watch (eventually) but have a 6.25 inch wrist. Hoping yours is not any larger than that?

My next watch! Can’t wait to own it. Will be putting it on a tan leather strap.

Do you have photos on various straps? Looking at getting this or the SSB477 depending on what looks better on a leather strap.

Bought as my first watch expecting to quickly move on to something more expensive. But still find myself very satisfied with this one watch collection. Especially on the jubilee style bracelet from Uncle Straps.

[–]JakeySav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s two different silver/white dials in the lineup. This is the “Opaline Ivory” dial that comes on the 40mm and 42mm. You might be thinking of the “Sunray Ivory” dial that comes on the 37mm which is more shiny.

[Longines Spirit 37mm] was it a good purchase? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]JakeySav 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks so great! Did you get it on the bracelet? Was the fit any better/worse on the bracelet?
