I have just finished uni, and am looking to buy a watch for my self as a graduation present from uni. I will be starting my graduate work in a couple of months. And trying to find a nice watch under 1000 aud. I have a 2 watches right now, 1 a san martin dive watch and a fossil chronograph. My main problem is my 16-17 cm wrist.
I currently looking at like chronographs, but feel like the ones i can find are just too big.
Similarly, i like to prx, but feel like the original size may be to big, and the 35 mm to small.
looking at the seiko prospex black right now
For chronos, a Lorier Gemini would be cool if the shipping to AU isn’t prohibitively expensive. Otherwise, chronos are pretty tough because so many are quite thick for your wrist at under $2k USD. The other thin one I can think of is the Mean Skymaster, which is above budget even used. Or a hammy intramatic.
For non-Chronos and brand new, I do think you should give the 35mm PRX a try. It’ll wear a bit bigger due to its integrated design. I don’t find many of the other big brands offerings that compelling at that price, and many microbrands will have a high shipping cost. There’s zelos, but you’re stuck waiting for a release for a field/sports watch.i like Traska and nodus, but they’re US based so a lot of the “value” is a bit negated by the high shipping.
