Saw today's sit down meeting between Putin and Trump at the G20 Meeting. Putin was wearing, on his right wrist, a black dial, large and chunky watch. Any idea what it is? FYI: Understand that Putin prefers sit down meetings when he is shorter than the person he is meeting! How tall (short) is he?

I Googled some pictures of their meeting at the G20 summit and saw him wearing what you described while shaking hands. My guess is he is wearing the same Blancpain that he has been spotted wearing before:

Seem to be more numerals on this dial though, pretty sure I could make out an 8 and 10 at least.

I can't really tell 100% for sure. Here is the best picture I could find of the watch:

Or, maybe not the Blancpain Léman Aqua Lung Grande Date........VLADIMIR PUTIN GIVES HIS BLANCPAIN WATCH TO METALWORKER | Blancpain.

Unless, of course, he took it back after the photo opportunity and sent the cheeky man to the gulag..........hahaha

Something expensive, the Raketa Amphibian they gave him as a gift probably never left the case.

At least you shouldn't expect him to wear a Vostok Scuba Dude.

The IWC has a numeral at six o clock - can't see a numeral at six in the photo.

It's well-known. He is always in Blancpain Léman Aqua Lung Large Date.

It is definitely an IWC, likely a Mark XVI or XVII which don't have 3, 6 or 9 numerals

Yep, no 3,6 or 9 yet the other markers line up. And we have the triangle at the top. Looking for a IWC model like it...

Thanks. Wow, my response posted a few times. I had received an alert that it wasn't posting at all due to an error.
