General question to the WUS community, is this watch too big for my wrist? Wrist circumference 6.5 inch and width 55mm. Watch dimensions: Case = 40.5mm (42.8mm with bezel overhang) Lug to lug = 51mm

The term GADA (go anywhere do anything) watch can be a little subjective to define. I often view it as a timepiece that can walk between the line of dressy elegance and robust sportiness. The original SARB017 Alpinist was one of the OG in that space for under $500. As the Seiko inflation kicked...

Hi all, If this has been discussed previously, please advise. I'm wanted to know if there are any watch fairs or meets in the UK where enthusiasts gather to pay homage to all things horology. Thanks

Hey all, Could you please help with your suggestions for a dive / pilot watch with minimal / no marking rotating bezel? I'd like something smart-ish with the convenience of a bezel for timing things but without the sporting look, so it's a little under the radar, if that makes sense! Similar...

What is the ideal dial color for your GADA (Go Anywhere Do Anything) watch? I tend towards black, but that's mostly because I'm a bald white guy, so when I wear a white watch... it just feels like there's too much white going on. I'm curious what your ideal dial color is for a GADA, and why...
