Thanks Laurent and Mark

Fantastic pictures Laurent - both the Siffert and the Carrera are stunners. This Carrera-model is exactly the one I am thinking to buy.

I have about a 20 cm wrist (1,94 m height). Concerning Heuer I had already some Autavias and also Monacos. Both have a very suitable size for me. Smallest watch I own is a vintage Rolex GMT 1675 with about 40 mm diametre which is pretty small for my wrist. So the Carrera seems to be even smaller than the Rolex. But I love the design;-)) I guess I have to find one here in Vienna to see it in real on my wrist.

Thanks again, regards, Christoph

: Laurent has provided some nice comparison photos for you Christoph,
: but if it helps too, I have found the automatic Carrera to be
: perfectly adequately sized on my 19.5 cm wrist. I fact, I find
: it pretty well perfectly balanced and sized, though I never
: bought into the trend for oversized watches.

: If you're still worried, see if you can find a dealer nearby who
: will let you try one on without committing to buy - size of a
: watch is a very personal thing and what suits one person might
: not suit another.
