I like that. To bad all these great old watches are action figurine-sized, by today's eyeballs.

So true. I'd love to own a vintage, made in the USA Hamilton, but they're all so tiny.

yeah, i like the 4/7/10 on the dial.

if it was 37 or 39, i'd consider it. i don't wear my zodiac seawolf as much as i should because it's only 35.

I love the old Seamasters from the 60's... But almost all of them are 35mm.

I almost bought one of those Wakmann last week but the size kept me from pulling the trigger.
The 38mm Yema is already borderline for me

oddly, though, that looks like a 35mm watch in an oversized cushion case to make it 37.

I'm on the same boat that all vintage watches are to small.. Love how they look just not how they look on my wrist.

I have been chasing a triple calendar Nacar or even Hislon for time. I came across a few times from Euro sellers, but they declined to ship them to Canada for the shipping is very expensive from Eastern Europe.

And this Wakmann triple calendar melts my heart.

You are not helpings with my "no new watch diet", Dave. :-(

Yup, definitely is an awesome piece Dave. :thumbsup: Also liking the way they
did the numbers, and how the day, and date window is set up. Just has an
overall charm that makes you smile. I mean even the moon is smiling :)

Very nice sir ! Appreciate the look at it. Thanks so much !

Absolutely stellar vintage piece, Dave. What a beauty. That moon is too neat. Of course, any true vintage dress watch will be 39mm or smaller.

Killer post.
