Re: Speedmaster as an everyday watch? (questions)
In Response To: Speedmaster as an everyday watch? (questions) ()

I too have a 6 1/4 wrist and have worn a Rolex Sea Dweller almost every day for 20+ years with suits, jeans, and everything in between. No problems at all. Love it. Now I've started wearing a few other diver's watches and a couple of Speedmasters and I think that the moon watch will fit in just as the Rolex did, some of the other divers are probably not suited for dress but that's more of a snobbery thing than anything else.

: I'm considering getting a Speedmaster (original
: manual wind moon watch, not the reduced
: one-if I go Speedmaster, I would want the
: real one) and am wondering what people's
: opinions are on this watch as an every day
: watch. Can it be just as well worn with a
: suit as well as with a t-shirt and jeans?

: Also, I have thin arms and wrist (6 1/4 in).
: Will this watch look too bulky on me? Does
: anyone have any pictures of this watch on a
: thin wrist?

: Thanks for any input!
