Which is your smallest Hamilton?
This question is more for the vintage owners, but it applies to modern watches as well. I have a Clinton, which is 29mm round. It does look small on my wrist.With close-up photography it looks a little bigger.But next to my Auto Chrono, it is small.I keep looking at vintage watches, but size is an issue. I don't think anything less than 36mm would look good on me. Even at that size, my girlfriend doesn't like any of the vintage watches we look at together. Granted, we only looked at antique shows where watches are hit or miss. We never actually looked at a case of vintage watches in a store together. I still reserve final judgenent, but I do value her opinion.

Now that the Chinese tourbillon is out.....
Since I don't want to have child labor, east Asian pollution, forced removal of organs, and the decline of the western standard of living weighing on my conscience with the acquisition of a Chinese tourbillon, I'd like to get my fix somewhere else with much less guiltWhich brings us to watches in my current price range, which is around a $1000 or so. First is the Zeno. Mechanical, probably Unitas variant, but it does have a power reserve and moon phase.Revue Thommen.

The Revue Thommen has the guilloche dial, moon phase, the Dubois-Depraz 2892 movement, but I've had reflection issues with black dials in the past....The Chris Ward is truly your father's watch, in a very good way. I like the looks of i

Could I be turning into a watch snob?
Now I'm shore I'm not the only one who feels this way lol. But here's what I mean. Let's say I buy a watch that I had seconds thoughts about the first time I seen it and then decide to buy it because I liked it the second time. But if I'm wearing that watch out in public I'll look at other watches regardless of name and I'll then look at my watch and say to my self man my watch makes that other watch look like crap. Of course I don't say that. I'm I turning into a watch snob? Please keep in mind I don't feel this way all the time.
