Impatient Submariner in the Waiting Queue ...

Happy Thursday!

Outside the cuff may be weird but I don't care.
On the sleeve is definitely weird... unless you are a fight pilot, astronaut or diver

for fashion wise, wear on sleeve can bah... but for business suits... big no no

Got new competitor undercut me. So now waiting to see if they accept my new proposal...

Life sometimes throws a curveball...

Maybe I'll get to eat Yatto's hotdog after all...

Yes, literally a kid. Of course the client has to weigh the "savings" of using a new bird against against a much more expensive old bird to get the job done.

It's not technically a tender. They straight up told me that another guy offered to do the job at less than half my price, and they would like to investigate that avenue a bit before making up their minds. So I threw in a little sweetener on my end too.

We'll see...

Either way, it's good.

Deal = everyone gets a round of drinks on me.

No deal = everyone gets to eat Yatto's hotdog.

good luck!

I'd pass on Yatto's hotdog, you guys can have my share, taming one is enough for me

Here comes my 47mm ~~~

Anyway may I ask how do you guys manage if your watch can't fit into your cuff? I feel a bit weird to let my watch stick outside the cuff especially when dressing formal. (Without jacket I means)

wear short sleeves? anyway i don't think a watch is meant to be worn tightly around the wrist bone?

also, formal watches tend to be smaller and have less complicated dials.

Thanks for the opinion! Anyway I think this photo might not very accurate since I cincai post it, so it looks a bit oversize...

Anyway I think this normal chronograph is ok to wear to meeting right? (Anyway I plan to get a frederique constant next year~)

Finally school term over. Can relax.

Bought 2 fun watches from eBay and they arrived today. The serpent watch is for my mum and the other Cyclone watch is to satisfy my curiosity on Perrelet .

it depends on the dress code in your office. my office, g-shock also can wear to meeting...

Just out of curiosity, how do you tame a hotdog?

You can of course wear any watch to a meeting. There's no law against it.

But a 47mm one with a busy dial that's sticking out of your shirt cuff may draw unnecessary negative attention to yourself.

Generally, in a situation that long sleeves are required, the accompanying watch should be discreet, hidden under the sleeves, and when seen does not scream for attention.

I would argue that FC watches, although nicely designed, are a little too big in size to be traditionally considered "appropriate". But they're much better than your current watch.

Just realised the colour of the FFF lume matches my car interior lights.
