Cartier Roadster 2722 arrived yesterday. Complete anthesis of what I normally wear but so far liking it a lot!

That's not entirely true. They make the links removable, so they accept some people have less than 7.5 inch wrists too
Joking aside, do you get stuck with a bill for extra links in a situation like this or do they provides links to match your wrist size? I'm guessing the bill option
i did laugh at the first part of your reply,
No they don't give you them so i have to buy them, i have tried to find the model number of the links as i cant seem to find them anywhere i have looked so far. The AD doesn't have them in stock and will need to order them in. The Seamaster i just bought has plenty of spare capacity for my ape like wrists so i presume its because its stainless and gold so more expensive.
Good eye!
A wonky date showing a speck of the next number was one of the reasons (can't remember if the main one) why I returned an Orient. Twice, because the replacement had too many imperfections still.
It's 10:30 in the pic, a little early to start the date change but I don't think it can be ruled out.
Can't tell you guys how pleased I am with this buy, probably my favourite watch so far!
Actually really like the rubber band it came with, but i'll probably switch it over the bracelet tomorrow.

What a lovely watch! Never been on my radar screen, Cartier. Going to have a look what they have on offer now. Congratulations
This came in on Saturday from SC - I've always been negative about cyclops lenses but I love the white face, the titanium hue and the Crafter Blue strap which makes it very comfortable on the wrist.
Picked this up saturday as my 8yr old U1 has gone off for service, can't go two months without a diver :-0

This charming little thing off SC. New strap and it’s been on the wrist ever since.
Nev, lovely Cartier.
Do you fancy adding it to the Cartier thread?

Arrived on Saturday but just got around to opening and trying on, first impressions are very good

Nice. Quite fancy the yellow one.
I'll need to try one on as comments of it being top heavy are causing a pause
I had the same reservations due to the case design/depth and from reading reviews. I was gearing up to be disappointed but I'm more than impressed, yes a little top heavy and side profile looks a bit odd with the deep case back but I find the fit on my slim wrist spot on. I'm pretty chuffed with it.

After much trying, I've finally added a Helson Turtle 'Mango' to the collection, I had it shipped direct from Helson. It comes in the usual black leather watch roll with warranty card and shark mesh alternative bracelet (although I already have a Nato in mind for this). Quality is good, as I've come to expect from Helson (I have the Sharkmaster 300) and it's a fairly faithful homage to the Certina DS-2, which are just unobtainable beyond paying ridiculous money.
Now all I need is some sunshine to show the dial at it's best, but all we have today is gloom and heavy rain.

One of the Zinex old stock watches David was selling recently, this via Takethecannoli ... wears fairly well for 47mm, I think because the lugs are relatively short.
Has a strange fault which means it only runs with chrono going, v strange, never seen that before.
Arrived earlier today, first of all a strap change and then onto wrist

Dress watches don’t seem to get a lot of love here, however I stumbled across this Rolex Cellini, a 4112/8, recently and loved it! Having sent it straight for a service (it appears to have sat in a drawer for around 20 years) it is finally back.
New strap is required, something black and shiny… odd lug width of 17mm and the original buckle is only 14mm! Any strap recommendations appreciated :)
Finally decided the medium was the right one for me and after a WTB the forum delivered and a great member helped me out to get a new Cartier Santos.
Very happy with it.

Picked this SD4K up from TKH just under 2 weeks ago, should have bought one years ago but at the time I chose the 114060 instead
It's a fabulous watch, but I think I still prefer the 16600.
Maybe a bit late for a summer watch, but now got this one and this is really nice!

Ah that came back in reasonable time.
Have a look at the Hirsch Regent.

Best green buy of the year, can’t take mine off.
LV stays in the watch box unloved!
