That's a monster, to be sure. The reason that it was late was that they had to wait for the especially big truck to become available. ;)

Best wishes,

Better wear it on alternate wrists each day, to keep the muscle development balanced 8)

Kripes, I've had travel alarm clocks that were smaller! Really. Unless you're a diver, and a deep saturation diver at that, this watch is a mostly just an excersize in excesses, because unless you have 9 inch wrists (which I realize some of us do - and even then it will wear tall), this is not a watch you can wear anywhere but with a wet-suit.

I dont agree

Postby Swedish Watchfreak on Tue Dec 20, 2005 12:07 am

After wearing it for a day now, it doesnt feel like 53x22mm.
I also own a Breitling Bentley, and the sizes feels just about the same.
And it is a mighty feeling strapping on a 360gram watch I asure you.

However as Roger Ruegger says in his review.
After wearing the 12000 feet everything else feels like a ladies watch 8)

Edit: I have 7,5" wrists.
