Ah yes, it's all relative. The very person who thinks nothing of smashing a million dollar machine into a concrete barrier is also the guy (or rare woman) who can afford to buy the $500k watch at Omegamania. Of course, I can only imagine. I've sure spent my fair share of money on the sport and it's been some of the best fun of my life. Ah well. That's talk for another forum.
I'm here to learn from the experts and enthusiasts about watches now. Reading archives, checking articles and observing how awful much of the stuff on eBay is. I can't believe some of the things out there! Reminds me of what we used to call the guys who put the fake performance upgrades on their cars (posers, badge-engineers, etc.)
A smaller men's watch (vintage) is actually about that same size, slightly larger than my current women's watches. Vintage women's watches can be nice (I bought a couple recently) but more for dressy occasions. Too small for everyday use. I'm used to divers watches or larger business-looking watches with a nice bracelet or wide croc strap. Just want to be sure not to get something that's been abused and put together with bits and pieces of NOS, etc.
Cheers!
