    BTW, my left wrist is quite small after I broke it badly about 30yrs ago.
    Interesting what you say about Nite watches, I've looked at their website a few times but never pulled the trigger on one (unusual for me). Do you happen to recall what movement it was?

    Got this for the boys Xmas.

    Quite nice it is too. Pity strap is struggling yo go round my wrist, which is the usual, hence my using mostly pockets.

    It's not super high quality but looks ok

    My watches; nothing special but I like TW Steel. Their size suit my wrist and hand size

    1st watch is an Accurist my wife bought me for our first Christmas together back in Dec 2006; the black TW Steel (45mm) she bought me the Christmas of the year we married, 9 years ago yesterday in 2010 and the other 2 TW Steel watches (both 50mm) I bought last year, brand new but listed at silly times on eBay and managed to win both

    Nice!

    I looked at the green faced ones, but decided brown suited me better. The gold/silver one I have is my 'dress watch' Matches my thrust bearing wedding ring when I wear it, when we're out and about. Otherwise it sits on my desk; away from harm haha
