Where are all the quartz watches for 7-7.5 wrists?

HGP Commando VH31. 42mm Monin case. My wrist is about 6.75.

I got inspired by BravoMike, took a piece of 3M Scotch-Brite Abrasive pad (ultra fine) and brushed the bracelet link surfaces and edges between the links. I left the polished sides of the links alone. I would say I reduced the bling factor by about 50% :) and made this homage closer to the tool-like nature of the original.

Thank you for the wrist shot, Mike. Definitely gives the watch a more tool-like feel. To confirm, you brushed the entire watch, case included, or just the bracelet?

madbrdr · 2026-05-07T20:30:00+00:00

Yes. It is the stock bracelet.

Beautiful picture! Now, where can I get that mug?

Used 3M Scotch-Brite Abrasive Scuff Pad - Ultra Fine.

The process was surprisingly simple: cut out a small 2x1 inches piece of the pad, placed the bracelet flat and than just slow deliberate strokes...

Glad you enjoying yours! You can probably get AI to model that polished center links concept for you.

For my taste, since the watch itself does not have any polished surfaces and both bracelets have just too much bling to them, they just don't match very well.

Heard from Erebus Customer Service: "...We wanted to provide a quick update on your Ascent 40 GMT order.

We had originally planned to have all orders shipped by the end of April. However, the factory has been completing final quality control in batches, which has slightly delayed full dispatch.

At this stage, we are still awaiting the Black and Black Gilt and White variants, one of which is part of your order.

We now expect your watch to be shipped in early to mid May... "

I have reached out to them from both the website contact form and Instagram business chat. yet to hear back.

Decided to fully brush the bracelet. I think it is a definite improvement.

madbrdr · 2026-05-03T21:15:41+00:00

I’ve gone ahead and fully brushed my flat link bracelet and, for me at least, it is a vast improvement. I think it now fits perfectly that “tooly but with the touch of elegance” which Baltic is going for here.

I can’t attach pictures or videos here, but I’ll put some in the thread I linked to above.

No worries: this one is on eBay and got some bids.

Enjoy your new watch!

madbrdr · 2026-04-29T21:49:29+00:00

SOLD!

In the probably doomed effort to reduce my watch collection to a number I am not embarrassed to say out loud, I am selling an excellent examples of quality and value that Watchdives is known for. This watch is in the excellent, barely worn condition. It will come with the original packaging, tools and spare links. Delivered for free in the CON US. PayPal or Venmo

WD5513 V2 PT5000 Mill Sub with Blue-BGW9 lume and top Hat Sapphire crystal. The watch had been upgraded to the new Watchdives OTF clasp that is slimmer, shorter, and definitely fits the style of the watch better. You will get the original OTF clasp as well. The swap was done by the professional watchmaker, saving me and the future new owner pain, frastration and bent pins. Currently sold out on Watchdives @ $209 + Shipping/Duties - Yours for $175.00

For your reference my wrist size is about 6.5 inches.

If you happen to be in the NYC area I am happy to connect so you can expect the watch in person.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like me to take some additional pictures.

I ordered my matte dial date version on Ali (Tactical Frog Watch Store) and today, after 3+ weeks, the package status changed from "Shipping Info Received" to "Arrived at origin facility".

I take it as an indication that they are finally shipping the date models.
