I have an 8 inch wrist, so I can technically wear a 45mm watch; I just don't like watches that call attention to themselves, and incidentally are way more likely to hit a doorframe, or hang up your shirtsleeve. Recently, I've been buying 39mm and smaller. The original military watches that soldiers, sailors and even pilots wore in WWII were 33 to 36mm. They didn't feel that the small size insulted their masculinity. 🙂 I've pre-ordered one of these Varios.
How I wish I could restore a military style watch dial using film free waterside decals then painting in the raised numbers and transferring the entire decal onto the original dial. And ideas would be so appreciated! Thanks sharing your great work my friend!
I've got a project I'm working on this week to restore some aspects of damaged but original dirty dozen dials. I'll try to record some of it to show if possible.
