all because of the strap that digs into the wrist...bad design but great watch....its hard to replace a great looking strap as it suits it well. Like my dad said about the trousers "Flares"....."they are meant to look good not be comfortable".

 I have a Movado Museum watch that I never wear.  I got it as a gift 20 years ago and thought that it was the shiznits and wore it all the time.  After the watch bug bit me and I started in on the automatics I haven't strapped it on.  The battery has been dead for four years I bet.

You might want to pop out the battery as it can corrode and ruin the contacts, etc. It is still a nice watch.

 I have two...  The Rolex seems small and being an elementary school teacher I don't wear suits very often so id does't get a lot of wrist time... The Omega I used to wear all the time I believe it is late 60's hand crank... It was from my dad. I'm not sure why I don't wear it.  Enjoy, Tony

    Too bad, Graham. I like the design on this one. Very similar to the venerable ML profile.....ThumbsUp02.gif

    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.crap.gif 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 shameoh my.gif

    Shame on you, Oscarsubtlelaugh.gif. That Corum design is great and very much like the Hammie Ventura. I think that Corum would be great dress watchwowzer.gif
