I wish I could see the 670 movement back as it's a little wonder and one of the thinnest "auto" ever made.

That makes 2 of us, William.

I also don't get to wear my Zeniths for the simple reason that they are just too small (40mm) and too thin (sub 9mm). What a shame oh my.gif

Only the new Zenith Primero are over 40mm: Too high for my wallet... I like this one but I wish it was a bit bigger: It wears little on me.

While we're on the subject of watches too small; I've outgrown my 1500 Tag. Got it almost 20 years ago; wore it for years, it still runs too...

I wear all my nice watches. Even to work. My friends think I'm crazy, but if I get a watch it's to wear, not be a safe queen.

My Rado Integral. My wife bought it and it really is a beautiful watch, but she knew not to buy me a quartz watch.....

I'm with the guys in the "too small" camp. I have a restored Omega Constellation from the late 60s that is under 36mm. It's beautiful, but since I started wearing my 45mm Zenith, anything under 40mm looks too small on my 8.25 inch wrist.

Mike, can you post your Zenith? Is it an Extreme? I'd love to see it.

Happy to share. It's a Chronomaster XXT Open. I haven't seen too many Defy Xtremes out in the wild....if anyone out there has one, please post some wrist shots.
