If you have 7inch or larger wrists, then you should be able to pull off that size of watch without any issue.
As for myself, I purchased this beauty from Bezel House around Christmas:
This watch is just about perfect for me. It's dressy enough to be dressed up, but doesn't look out of place when worn every day. I also find the 38mm size to suit my skinny wrists perfectly. The green is a cool splash of color, without being too out there.
I also want to give a huge shout out to Ryan at Bezel House. He's one of the best dudes in the industry. He's very responsive to emails, not pushy at all, knows his stuff very well and was happy to show me pretty much every watch he had in stock when I went in.
I believe Bezel House is one of the largest dealers of Seiko watches in Canada and the largest for Mido watches - which is a great underrated Swiss watch brand.
If you're looking at buying a watch soon, I highly recommend having a look at their website and getting in touch with them if you see something you like. |
Very nice baby Alpinist. It reminds me a lot of the Seiko Presage.

I personally like the full Alpinist with the compass more, but I seem to just like quirky watches and I like slightly bigger watches.
Not trying to be a porcupine at a balloon party, but I personally just cannot get into Hamilton and Longines watches. I think it's because I just don't like the vast majority of number fonts in general and Hamilton/Longines like to use numbers a lot. I even tried them on in person and I just don't prefer the look.
I'm due for a promotion very soon and I'm having a hell of a time determining how much I should spend. Originally I was thinking around $1,000-1,500. My wife was casually throwing suggestions that I should consider a brand new Omega, but it just doesn't feel quite right for how I want to symbolize this promotion. I'm kind of quirky in terms of embedding meaning/symbolism into many of the things I own. I am hoping to lean heavily leaning towards looking for something pre-owned so that I can get more calibre of watch for the budget I have in mind. Getting great value is something that is important to me as well. Prices are screwy right now, so I am planning on starting to look during the summer, but I also feel perfectly fine in spending 18 months to slowly seek something that feels right for the occasion. If the budget increases because something seriously eye-catching pops up and it feels right, so be it.
Bezel house has some interesting pre-owned options on their website. Are there other stores in Calgary with pre-owned/consignment listings worth perusing in this format in case something interesting pops up that I want to see in person? (I am aware of international ones like Chrono24 and a few others, but I cannot try them on).
