re: TGIF Watch thread

Thanks. Big Sinn fan. Less luxury, more functional/tool. I plan to get a U50 with the tegimented case and bracelet eventually.
The 556a is such a perfect utilitarian watch, kinda like what a 7yo would draw if you told them to draw a watch and I definitely don't mean that as a bad thing. It is also well-priced, and I like your H link bracelet the best of all the choices.
I had a U1 years ago and loved it despite it needing to go on a diet, the U50 is near perfect, and if it weren't for the whole so many watches so little time... Sinn's lego-handed divers are what screams Sinn to me.

Looks like you have a wide flat wrist like me. I like that 42-43mm range too. I've tried a few at 40mm and just haven't been happy with how they look on me.

Actually, 40-42 seems to be my sweet spot (or at least personal preference), but I’ll pull off a watch as big as Turtle, too (maybe due to Seiko magic).

IMO, lug to lug matters more than the diameter of the case, in regards to wearability.
For example, I can wear a Speedy Pro with a 42mm diameter, because it only has a 47mm lug to lug. But, I used to have a 40mm diameter Hamilton Khaki King with a 50mm lug to lug that felt slightly too large for my wrist.

I kinda want a green Hulk Sumo. But it’s down the hit list a bit. That blue looks awesome and it’s pre-Prospex symbol. Cool.

I'd love one with a ceramic bezel. Kinda got spoiled on them since those days. Everything else inevitably gets scratched up and bugs the shite out of me.

Probably true. The Turtle is 44.3x48, which is why I can probably swing it. I looked hard at a Mido Ocean Star GMT, but its width of 44 and lug to lug of 49.8 just told me that it was going to be a monster on my wrist.

Adds character.
Two of my Turtles have the ceramic bezel and three don't. I haven't beat them up enough (yet) for it to be an issue.

Been rocking the Rolex 226570 Polar all week.
Feeling an itch to go back to my Panerai.

Tell us more about this lovely creature! I am so hoping it is a family watch.
