Baume & Mercier & Hampton Sport Stainless Steel Ladies Watch MOA8515

New member looking for a new watch
Hi all,I've been lurking here for a while now but I thought I'd finally register and ask for your advice on a new watch. Having looked at quite a few recently, I'm really taken by the look of the Hamilton Viewmatic 44mm:I'm hopefully going to head to a jewellers and try one out this weekend, but I think that my wrist is probably too small to comfortably accommodate such a large watch - 40mm is probably about the limit. Is there anything similarly styled of that size (with an automatic movement) for ¡ê400-600? The 40mm Viewmatic, while quite nice looking, doesn't look as slick to me as the larger version. I'll admit that I hadn't heard a great deal about Hamilton before I started researching, though they seem to be regarded as good quality for the money (though perhaps not as much at the prices we're charged for them here in the UK!).Many thanks for any advice you can give!

Watch retirement.
Most people get a watch at their retirement party. This time, I'm throwing a party for a retiring watch. This Cardinal has been with me for about 14 years as a work watch. About six of those years were spent working in iron casting and another eight years in aluminum casting. It's had a hard life of extreme heat and cold, sweat, sand, oils, hard shocks, hits and any number of other indignities over the years. About five years ago, it's crystal came off and it lost it's seconds hand. I found the crystal lodged in a steel staircase a week later, glued it back on and put it back into service. Last week, the battery died while I was on vacation. It's time to say goodbye to a comfortable old friend.It's being replaced by a new Timex quartz that I hope will endure the same physical punishment. It should last until I retire (if I even make it to retirement). I have to go with quartz as a work watch because it stays at work in my locker during weekends and vacations.

What size RO would be best?
I've got my heart set on a white face RO, but I'm torn between 37 and 39mm. I've got 6 wrists, so I'm fairly sure the 41mm isn't even a consideration.It'll be a daily wearer, so I want something that's not going to draw as much attention as a ROO. What would people suggest for someone with my rather small wrists?I know the obvious answer is visit a AD and try a few sizes on but I don't think I'll have time over the next month.
