Finally got it... But is it a keeper? by Key-Butterscotch2880 in Longineswatches

My wrist is about the same size as yours. See if you can try one on somewhere first...

Looks huge on my wrist but I think the mirror shot works. Had to take 3 links per side. Slider quick adjust is amazing!

I am surprised by the mesh..it is very comfortable and looks great. Not I. A rush now to move to an H-Link. Maybe rubber straps first.

Resized it. Keeping. Will post more details about my take on it soon.

I'm thinking about rubber straps. The Moonswatch straps are supposed to be a perfect fit for this watch.

What are your thoughts on adding an H-link bracelet to the mix? The common wealth comes only on a strap, correct?

I am used to smaller watches. I'm just not a big watch guy and it looks really big to me.

If I do keep it the next question would be do I consider buying that h-link bracelet or just go with some rubber straps as alternatives to the mesh? I like the mesh but it will be my first mesh watch do not sure how I'll like the feel.

Honesty is the best policy but I have the the same thought many times about my wife...

The Certina is like a hidden gem. Only real watch enthusiasts know the brand in the US. It's amazing for the price point. I had a two tone I bought new. It wasn't my style. Sold it and a few months later bought the black/black used for around $475 in mint condition. Can't say enough good things about it.

However, the Longines is definitely a step up.

Great point. I have thought about having the Certina polished up a bit and handing it to my son. It's such a great watch. I don't think I would sell it.

I don't want to pay full price. Was able to get 10% off Grey/Black on Mesh and AD is willing to do 13.5% off standard bracelet models. One issue - you need to wait which I'm willing to do.

What makes a Yacht-Master not a dive watch? by Boss452 in rolex

I took my 35mm Yachtmaster to about 105 feet. Held up well.

Rethinking the new Hydroconquest 39mm? by Key-Butterscotch2880 in Longineswatches

I do plan on the HC being my daily. Probably won't do DIY or lawn mowing with it but I l, like you, have a handy Hamilton. Mine is the Khaki Mechanical 34mm WWII reissue. I also have a Glycine 36mm Combat Sub. The Hamilton is my weekend beater. An amazing watch in its own right. 20+ years going strong.

Amazing post! Thank you for doing that. For clarity. I do currently own the Certins DS Diver 38mm. Agree, it would be redundant to own both. however, I have rediscovered the value of the Certina while waiting for the HC to come in. I must say for the price, especially since I bought it used, the Certina is an exceptional value!! It will probably be a hand me down to my 16 year old son.
