The trend toward huge watches doesn't suit me.
I am a pretty short dude with small wrists. Some of the watches I see would look like a hubcap on my wrist. I am going to pick interesting looking watches. This thread is awesome for hints. There are so many cool brands that I haven't ever heard of. It's a wide world out there.....
Ollie, thanks.
The "hubcap" comment brought a smile to my lips. I have the same problem, although I tend to refer to the oversized ones as "wall clocks" instead. You can find a very great variety of watches in the 34-38mm range by shopping for vintage mechanical watches from the 60s-80s. When I was getting into watches a few years back I was pleasantly surprised by the character and affordability of russian and chinese watches made for domestic sale (rather than export) during this period.
Of course, this was before Putin started stirring things up in earnest.
Haven't posted here in a while. DOXA today. 
There is a guy at work that I swear is wearing one of Flavor Flav's clocks on his wrist.....
That's pretty dang awesome
Thanks Ollie: It is my go to most days.
What kind of watch is that? It looks indestructible....
I was just about to google his pic to put in here.
flip-top Bulova circa 1940's
there's a photo inside that belonged to a previous owner. someone's wife, mother, mistress? who knows. she ain't pretty and she ain't young, but I haven't had the heart to rip someone's beloved out.

That's great and I like the idea of keeping the picture intact. I find these vintages watches hold similar fascination for me as vintage razors. They all have untold stories.
This week ...
Love it... I have the Antea 41. Stowa, IMO, is dollar for dollar the best watch you can buy. The long wait times can suck, but they are a home run on every other account.
Yep, the mystery adds to it, IMO
It is a Maranez Bangla in brass. It is kind of a cheapy watch but I enjoy wearing it and for the price I think it's a great value.
