So here I am, XMAS day, will be going to the in laws house (in ~ 15 min) for the holiday visit.
BIG DILEMMA: do I wear the 36mm :shock: Rolex PREZ, or do I slap on the 43.7mm TT Chronomat?

Wasn't easy, but finally decided to take the Breitling along. That Rolie is just too small for my~7.5" wrist...
Here are some quick pics:

... Don't get me wrong guys, the PREZ is a nice watch, especially after the last complete overhaul. The bracelet it a work of art and the white dial is top quality and that polished gold glitters from a mile away. But the 36mm size on my wrist looks really bad...
... Gotta love variety :D

Agree with you 100% Driver.

I tried to pass it to my wife but she thinks its too big for her tiny wrist.
A couple years back I tried the same thing with my Rolex AirKing (34mm), same result, so
I sold it, practically gave it away...

Were it not for the sentimental value, this Prez would have been out the door years ago :?

:nana:
