3 weeks into my daytona, one thing which still bothers me... on paper the watch is marketed as 40mm case size. but no matter how i measure, i get between abt 38 to 39mm.. and i'm not the only person who question this..

Rolex Forums - Rolex Watch Forum - View Single Post - Rolex Daytona case size

quaint observation.

wear naise can liao.

No lah.

Panerai do make different sizes to suit different market segments and different wrist sizes. Luminor comes in 40, 44, 47 and 60mm. Radiomir comes in at 42, 43, 45, 46 and 47 and even the huge 60mm. Subs, i think, are in 44 and 47 sizes.

off the back of my head, there is 1 luminor 42mm model

right is my dream watch. If you scroll the thread backwards, one of our bros posted real pictures of that


Guys, are we permitted to dicuss watch winders or cases in this thread?

I'm looking for a single case (compact) for travelling so I can alternate watches on business trips. There's a small outlet in Takashimaya that sells watch cases and winders but any other inputs would be deeply appreciated

Thought 47 is original size and the grail PAMs quoted mostly are that size? But ya, fully understandable they need to have a variety of sizes to suit diff people.

nearly fall off my chair..

doesnt really bother la but i'm always wondering how they measure to get 40mm.. good to know also mah.. next time can use in sales tactic to give lesser than what ppl are paying for.. if rolex can do it, why can't we right?

next time ppl say AMDK must really pull down the pants and see real thing to confirm. in case they over market.

U measure crystal only? Or include bezel? Or include crown?

Not sure this helps..Download the groupon app. Go under 'Goods" > Scroll down ( to around 3/4) you should find they are selling this travel watch case @ $22.90.

apparently in some watch circles, the comparison of jlc reverso squadra vs reverso proper is akin to the hydronaut vs nautilus in the pp range (ie not quite the "original" thing & thus less popular).

but ymmv and what matters is if you're happy with it, can liao!

really, i liked that the squadra is a sportier version of the classic reverso, thus more versatile for all occasions.

Riding on kfc wave elsewhere, its like original recipe and crispy etc. To some it's strictly original recipe only. at least for me, must maintain the rectangular shape...

It could be that 47mm size is the original size, due to the fact that it was a military diving watch, to see better in the dark depths of the ocean!

I love the Reverso Squada but I just can't seem to wear it. Due to the rectangular nature of the watch, it just does not sit well on my puny 6.25" wrist.

Haiz, back to the watch safe it goes.

Flip to me since it is a safe queen, i dont mind another rectangular watch to accompany my zenith

Dad's beater watch... I always tease him because it is his "wet market" watch... seriously!

You won't want it. Original strap has gone to strap heaven, if u see my past posts about it.

And my Dad now uses it as 1 of 2 beater watches, besides the Lolex posted above.
