Royal Oak 15400 Bracelet Sizing
Question for all - when you size the Royal oak bracelet should it be slightly tighter or looser than other watches?Ie when your wrist is flat can you fit say your pinky in the slack? Or slightly less?

Patek 5196R lovingmthismwacth.. when do I wear it....
I really enjoy this piece. I got this , preowned, a few months ago. I’m struggling finding WHEN or WHERE to wear this. When do you all wear this watch.. or where.I’ve been wearing this with jeans, nice shirt. In extremely casual environments. No one but me recognizes this piece, either. I don’t have to dress up for work. I work from home mostly anyway. I feel somewhat strange wearing this with jeans, in casual environments. I also of course wear this when dressed nicely, but I’ve minimal occasion of any formality... it’s funny I find myself wearing collared shirts with jeans so i can wear the Patek.. I guess I need psychiatric care. My question: when and where do you wear the 5196, or similar pieces. I’m finding this piece far more versatile than my two tone submariner.. it’s awkward, though, because if other Patek owners saw me wearing this piece with jeans , etc, they’d start a brawl. So I’m just wondering when you all buy a Patek

Service expectations on a 2010 vintage 5712
Looking at possibly purchasing a pre-owned, early 2010 vintage, 5712/1A from the original owner. Was worn in rotation for the first year or so and pretty much been sitting in a safe ever since.Should I expect this watch will need servicing soon? If so, what would you estimate cost and the time it will be off my wrist to be?Thanks, guys.

I can't go back. Can you?
This is an observation, not a knock. I have been wearing Panerai for about 3-4years. First the 88, now the 422. Before that, Rolex only for a long time. Mostly sport models in SS. Long story short, the Rolex I miss the most and still admire greatly is the GMTIIC in SS. Mine kept crazy accurate time and I think it's the most striking and beautiful piece in the current Rolex SS line-up. A real gem.I have been wrestling with re-acquiring the GMTIIC. I visited my local AD yesterday, took off my 422 and tried it on. It is still beautiful, the craftsmanship remains world class, the bezel shines and the hint of green is perfect. But, it looked soooo small. I could not believe it. I'm 6' tall with nearly an 8 wrist. I had never before felt that a Rolex looked small on me but this damn thing looked puny. I left the AD feeling kind of down like one who left home never to return. Again, not a knock nor a commentary on craftsmanship, value, trendiness, etc., and I remain one who loves and respect

Who has a small wrist, but didn't care and bought a SD43 anyway?
The title says it all. For those who did, what are your thoughts now you've been wearing the SD43? Pics might help.
