I have read another thread on these watches which put pretty much the same question (was put many years ago) and the question stayed pretty much unanswered ( I have edited my post there and reformulated the question here in order not to have a duplicat…

Another this or that with poll.
Which would you choose? I’m looking at the 36mm version of each (6.7” wrist).

G’day all,
Continue readingI recently sold my Deep Quest 3000M and regret doing so. I have had my eye on this NEDU from a seller I bought my Aquaracer Calibre 16 from. The Tag was great so I felt good about this one. I am over the moon with it. It’s twice as nice as my DQ.
Cheers,

San Martin true to size ?
Is this San Martin bb54 true to size to the Tudor BB54? Because if it is, I will buy the Tudor. It’s about the largest watch I can wear because of my 6 inch wrist.

Ludwig Oechslin perpetual calendar “vs” Andreas Strehler perpetual calendar
I was wondering if anyone here could offer an interesting opinion as to which watchmaker made the “better” or perhaps more ingenious movement.
I’m referring to the perpetual Ludwig from 1996 as opposed to the perpetual calendar used in the H. Moser pe…
