I love this watch, if it was 3 to 4 mm bigger it would receive serious wristime. Alas, at 36.5 mm the watch rarely comes off the winder. Do you guys have a watch like this? A watch that would be in the rotation if..... Lets see those lonely timepieces.

I love your Dynamic too. Its a great looking watch. I can understand your issue with it diminutive size. The advent of BIG watches had made what was an average to large watch seem tiny. For me it my Sinn 256TA. Kick ass watch in all respects. I just am not too much a chrono dude and it feels a bit smallish to me although at 38.5mm plus with the pushes it still is good sized. I've debated getting a bracelet but at $280 from Watchbuys I keep holding back. I just passed on an older folded end link bracelet for the watch. I've hought about flipping it but then I wouldn't have a 7750 in the stable and every collector needs a 7750, right? Thanks for the interesting question!

This little ol-thang fits the bill. I wish it was at least 39 or 40mm and had one more link for the bracelet and it would get worn. It is just 37mm w/o crown. :? More of just a rare piece to have in the collection. This Doxa pilot has a nice Eta 2824 inside too. :) Would be a nice basic watch for a gal now days. Some day I may flip or gift it but for now it's nice to just have such a rare watch in hand ;) LOL :D Attachment: doxapilot01.jpg (Downloaded 93 times)

Sorry, All my watches usually stay in rotation. Right now the collection hovers around 20 - 25 in number and if I know I'm not going to wear a watch I sell it to fund something else. IMO, unless a watch has sentimental connections It's not giving me any benefit of taking up space in my watch box. To me it's just $$$ that is not beeing taken advantage of when I have my eye on something else. Don't get me wrong, I have alot of connection to my favorite watches, ones that I would never sell. But the ones that don't get worn, and know I never will wear them, they are sold.

Good philosophy Demo. I guess I'm a hoarder. Every time I sell a watch , I regret it almost immediately.Case in point, the Dynamic above. I've purchased this watch twice and bought it the second time knowing full well that I did not like its size.Go figure.LoL Nice watches Pax and Skip. I've never seen that particular Doxa before,nice clean lines. As for the Sinn, I have a 38.5 mm also.I do wear this one quite often as it seems to look bigger on my wrist.  My smallest watch(32mm) was given to me by Santa in the early 80's.  The watch has a little secret.  A Swiss made manual wind.Incredible. Has a power reserve of about 30 hours and still keeps spot on time.

Another I have the Omikron Privateer Limited Edition of 500 is another one that gets little wrist time due to size. 38mm case. This is a pure Swiss piece and very nice. I at times wish it were at least 40mm, would maybe get more wrist time. :D Attachment: OP001.jpg (Downloaded 53 times)
