Buddy I know its terrible :twisted: I keep thinking of what I should get next. I am waiting for my watch winder so now I have to fill it with something :lol: I just spent two hours reading on Corum after this thread and I really like that its such a small shop. I guess when you get one its pretty elite. I will go for sure to check 'em out tomorrow at J.Vair Anderson Jewellers next to work. I am curious how it'll look on my tiny wrists :oops: to be continued tomorrow...

Also found this, the always crying Cristinano Ronaldo wearing his iced Corum. Not sure if I want one now :nana:

Cristiano Ronaldo is famous soccer player from Portugal. He's the most expensive player in football history after moving Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth £80 million (€94m, US$132m). In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is to be paid £11 million per year over the following six years, makes him the highest-paid football player in the world. Thanks wikipedia :wink:

Regardless, nice watches Corum. Cant wait to throw one on tomorrow and see if they fit. Will have to look for the 40mm and 44mm max. Yours is way to big for me...

edit: some good stuff here. Wonder if the site is legit?

you would be surprised how small the 48mm wears, its feels WAAAY smaller than my other 48mm watches, to the point where i thought it was to small for me almost. try one on, with a rubber strap and you'll see.

that one he is wearing isnt a chrono, the chrono corums have a REALLY cool feature in how they lock the pushers, they have a slide out lock instead of screw down buttons, so you can lock and unlock them in a second. its cool.

Now that really does stir my soul.

That is definitely the keeper Mr Fear.

Move the other one on, IMHO.

Many Congratulations. I would love one.

Looking forward to your pictures. Wrist shot, please.

THATS THE MONO PUSHER, NOT BAD, BUT I KINDA LIKE THE DUAL PUSHERS OF THE CHRONOS, THE LOCK THEY HAVE IS COOL, AND FRANKLY, I LIKE 2 OF THEM BETTER THAN ONE.

PLUS YOU CANT START AND STOP THE CHRONO, ITS START, STOP, RESET, THATS IT.

DID YOU KNOW BREITLING INVENTED THE 2 BUTTON CHRONO WITH THE NAVITIMES SOME 50 YEARS AGO, BEFORE THAT, THEY ALL ALL WERE MONO PUSHERS.

AND FOR SOME REASON, I ONLY LOVE THE 48MM CORUMS, THE BIG ONES FIT SMALL WRISTS GREAT, AND I JUST THINK THE BOLD SHAPE AND DESIGN HAS TO BE BIG TO WORK. BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION

So I went to the AD and tried the Admiral's Cup Challenge 44mm in white and black. Here are two pics of the white one. I LOVED the watch however I am wondering if its too big for me. What do you guys think?

It also has a very nice display back and the finishing is superb.
