Not much to say about this one, except that I think it is gorgeous.

It is a great looking watch. That exact piece in 42mm and I'm in.

I'm with you. It's definitely smaller than I like.

Just a classy looking piece in pics: the distilled essence of the modern timepiece.

If you ever flip that bitch, remember your friends. I'm not an especially big guy, and I just had to liquidate my minty 656 for other pursuits. This thing calls out to me, big time.

Lovely.

I like that a lot, but as other have mentioned it should come in 42mm.

the size is perfect for what it is, maybe even a little too large.
cd-1 if you want that aesthetic in a larger scale package.

Isn't that a CD-1 with grey dial?

I intended this watch as a dress watch. I really don't have anything appropriate for a suit and tie. I think the size is perfect for that. If I was going to wear it every day I'd like it to be a little larger.

I also think the hands are a little small. It is more bothersome in photos than on the wrist.

Glad to hear that's the case.
