My Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Porsche special edition arrived last week. I love having the My Porsche app on my wrist, including a complication that shows battery SOC!

GS are stunning, but dammit, I wish they would make smaller watches.
Their design would look amazing in 36 - 38mm.

They do make watches in those sizes:

Yes, ordered directly from TH.

Was able to snag a MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto thanks to a friend of mine hitting up Swatch stores while in NYC.

When I picked up, immediately ordered a Barton red rubber strap to swap out the crappy velcro strap that comes included. Much happier with the looks and wearability now ??

I’ve got several pre-Tag Heuers, a Breitling and some miscellaneous other watches, but my favorite is this early Omega Seamaster 300.

After being on the list for over a year, I got the call from my Rolex AD. I wanted a Submariner or Daytona (Daytona is basically never going to happen) two tone. The AD is holding a Sea-Dweller for me to pick up tomorrow. It is basically a Sub on steroids & I'm concerned it will be too big & heavy for my 7in. wrist. Anyone familiar with it? Thoughts on it as compared to a Sub? Concerned if I don't take this one that the AD is offering, that at 77 years old I will never get a Rolex.

In my experience (I have similar size wrists) I would wait for a Sub or a GMT. The Sea-Dweller was too big and just didn’t feel or look right. That said go down have a try on see how it feels.

I would wait.

There will be more availability with the state of the global economy soon.

The Seadweller is a big old unit.

I had a steel Skydweller (black face) ordered, which the AD got for me. I adored the watch, but when I tried it on it was just too big, so I turned it down.

Wait for the one you want, as you won't be happy with something you don't really want.

The Sea-Dweller is a chunky boy. But at least you’d be getting a Rolex at retail. If it doesn’t fit your wrist I suppose you could flip it without taking a hit? Would buying the watch bump you up on a waitlist at the AD for a Sub?

Unfortunately here (Italy) it is now strongly recommended not to have watches or valuables at home due to the very frequent thefts.
So the watches and the rest are in the bank. I watch the time on my smartphone or use a Garmin Fénix.
What a shame.

However I like automatic chronographs with three counters, I have several, my favorites are a Blancpain Villeret 1185, a Cartier Pasha, a Panerai Luminor and a Daytona (R Serial - El Primero - 200 km/h bezel scale).
My wife too likes watches, but she is more jewerly oriented... Panthere, Hermes padlock, Blancpain too, Chanel etc.

If in the end they will finally give me my taycan I have optioned a Tag Heuer Carrera with red writing to celebrate. ?
