Perhaps I should investigate a quality pocket watch lol.
    Yup I've a big wrist too and find it hard to get one to fit.
    But always preferred pockets tbh anyway. More style and an excuse to wear a waistcoat
    . I've a few leather and swede ones deliberately bought too small so they don't get closed. Look good in a casual way with a shirt

    Without actually taking a photo of my Bulova (for the simple reason I've forgotten how to put photos up ), the nearest image I can find for my watch is this:

    ,

    save mine has a gold case and dial, and the tuning fork motif is on the back of the watch along with the serial number. Apart from that, the shape, strap, hands and batons are identical.

    another example of simple elegance...all these extra dials and big day date boxes just makes it hard to see the time....

    Another vote here for clear and uncluttered dials. Lovely watch Barry.

    It's hard to pull off 'gold' when it isn't 'gold' but I think this one does it rather well.
