A Halios 38mm, fixed bezel field watch?

[gwells]

from jason's IG post today:

I've got 38mm on the brain...what do you guys think about that size? Something fixed bezel, long skindiver-esque lugs, maybe field watch kind of vibe.

Not @ 38

[jtbenson]

this is 38 and is the perfect size for this watch

(for me anyway)

38 is 2mm too big for hidinkee, and 2mm too small for most of us

38 without a diver's bezel could look like a 40mm. I would be interested.

I love the size of my 40mm Oris 65, perfect for natos. I did try a vintage 35mm Omega Seamaster the other day... that was too small for me.

This is the correct answer. I never wear my Sinn 556 and it is just barely smaller than the Seaforth.

H Khaki 38mm is a bit small.... 40mm Khaki is just right imho...

[gwells]

for me it really depends on the bezel. a 38mm nomos club is great for me. so the dial/bezel ratio will make a lot of difference.

A 38-39mm field watch is a great size. I loved my Sinn 556. Many prefer larger watches, but the smaller watch boutique market is largely ignored, so I'm sure if Jason made a thin, uniquely styled 38-39mm fixed lug field watch he could easily sell the small amount that he will produce. Weiss makes theirs in 38mm, but it is $2k.

That Weiss watch is beautiful, but I can't agree on the price. Its a big difference in price but I would save more and just get a white/silver Mark XVIII.

If I don't find a Sinn 556 Weiss (or a white dial Seaforth), I'll probably go with this one:

I think I want 776 or 775

Great looking watches! I like both dial colors, actually the dark gray/black a little more than the white one, but I have too many black dial watches as it.

Lugs are longer that I would like but they probably work great on natos.

The one I posted (love the colors on the dial) actually comes with a very nice strap IMO.

This is the one I meant, blue dial, 41.5mm, 200M WR new "diver" they introduced with swing system
Of course I'd have to make straps to cover those long longs

My Artillerist will be 41mm. I believe the market for 38mm might be too limited.

Yes, that is the one I meant when I wrote "dark gray". It's a great looking watch. I looked at the 740 (very similar to the 775 but 37.5mm diameter and no date) but it has 18mm lugs, this is a no no for me. The 38 Campus (735), even though doesnt have the swing system or the 200m WR, has 20mm lug width, 100m WR and a nicer dial IMO.
