Ain't nothin wrong with 42mm in my book, but you already know that. I still wear my 40's and even my 38's on occassion as well. Just got that kind of wrist that can handle large or small diameter time pieces. That's a great looking piece Rick! One that is definately worth some good wrist time. JMHO. Wear it and enjoy it!

Thanks, guys. :)

I took this in a trade . . . thinking that I would give it a "try".

What I like most is that even with the smaller case size . . . the dial area has remained as large as some 45-46mm watches I have (had). It's very readable, and the lighter case/bracelet are a nice break frommy heavier watches. It came on the strap, which I immediately replaced with it's bracelet. :c

I like the watch . . . and I do wish it were bigger. I'm working on "training" myself to wear smaller cases again. My wrist is as small as when I wore 40mm, regularly. My preference is still 45mm-48mm, mostly for the dial area and readability (and the weight). I think that I can open myself up to a whole segment of watches that I can't get withmy attraction to thelarger sizes. We'll see.

This watch is built incredibly well. Not much else to say about it . . . it's a quality timepiece from a quality manufacturer, Swiss Made, with the ETA G10.211, 4-Jewel Chronograph movement,sapphire crystal, solid end links, and a multi piece bracelet (5 pieces per link). It is NOT my preferred Swiss quartz, but I have never had a problem with one. :)

I'm going to give it a try! :)

Thanks, Marc! I think you would like it. "Smart" is a very good description for this piece. I could see this sliding under my suit cuff, when I was working. :)

I had fun shooting this watch. The brush finish is sooooo much easier for me to shoot. I'm going to reshoot the Super C, tomorrow and see if I can get the high polish to pop, without blinding. I have some ideas which I'll try out in the morning.

All that counts is you like it. We as a group will always have different views. But it is what you feel and think. That said, I LIKE IT!! Looks good on your wrist. CARL

Very sharp looking timepiece Rick. Like James said, I wish it was larger. All-in-all though very nice, nice and slim. Looks like it wouldn't be very hard to wear with a dress shirt at all.

Ah, the old Maverick II. I had one of those with a red bezel some time ago but traded it for a watch that I nover wore! That wasn't a good trade at all! This is a nice and well built piece. Wear it well bud!
