1601/4 is one of my favorites. A bit too small for my fat wrists, but lovely nonetheless.

I think unless your wrists are >8.25 inches, you can rock the classic datejust.

36mm is more than sufficient for most people. I know I am looking forward to getting my Seamaster 120 back, and it's only 37 mm.

I concur. Was worried about the 36mm size since I was used to 42mms and <gasp> 46mm BR01-94

But the DJ is sublime. The fluted bezel makes the DJ wear a little bigger. A contrasting dark leather strap also makes it look bigger than its 36mm.

Not a fan of the leather wristbands - if you can call them that - but the German engineering is certainly sexy enough.

Quite an underrated chronograph maker. Nice!

Agreed. This one is on my radar. Nice history with interesting complication. Looks great.

Sorry for deviating from the main theme, but I just love your bracelets! Can you share with us where did you get them?

Next on my list is a vintage Heuer Chrono. Anyone have any tips on the best sources for those? I am in Kansas City, not exactly watch mecca, so I may have to resort to online.

But I will be out in Phoenix/Scottsdale next month, so I'd appreciate if anyone knows any places out there.

The 190 is probably the best modern day Rad- not super big and that JLC movement is killer! Really miss mine- 8 (.

Get it you won't regret it!

Can you tell me where you bought this strap? I have a Black Seal and I'm looking for a chocolate brown strap. Thanks.
