    Likewise for me... as is the case with 90% of these watches. He liked 'em big. I prefer 40mm or less, he preferred 42mm and up.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    This Mühle M1 is a much better fit, 40mm sweet spot, 10mm thick, minimal and clean. A keeper for now.

    Owned that same Muhle model years back. It left as part of a "trading up" exercise....which helped me learn how noisy a 7750 chrono can be LOL

    That Muhle is one of the most legible analog watches I recall seeing! Enjoy!

    Still exploring the possible keepers, KonTiki Quartz chronograph today. Very attractive watch, with my favorite 252.264. If I don't keep it, the only reason is lack of need.

    I already have that exact one, which comes on black rubber with blue waterproof leather, and the black and grey dial on the factory bracelet ( the one I wore on my three hand Kon Tiki yesterday). If it were the orange version, I would be trying pretty hard to persuade you that you didn't need it.
