however for rectangular watches, its better to own a smaller undersized watch than a oversized one?

IMO. Its not the shape but rather the type of watch. Dressy watch better to b small, sports or tool, its ok if slightly bigger.

Reversos, like the masters series are dressy.

Yup too used to bigger watches, don't want to make the same mistake of buying watches that doesn't match my wrist,

So it's ok to wear dressy watches with lugs slightly over the wrist when bending it?

I have no alternative if I am going for reverso cause the rest of the models are clearly bigger than the classique and grand taillie.


It's either classique model which is a little small or grand taillie which is a little too big.

I have a small wrist and taillie look fine on me.

Which is why I always thought FC watches are nice to look at in isolation, but once on the wrist, their size just resonates in a wrong way...

Realize that i just dont dig the north flag..
I thought i would like it a lot ( sold the black bay to fund this)
Turns out otherwise... somehow in the morning when reaching for which watch to wear will prefer to wear either seiko monster or explorer 2 over north flag anytime
Serious buyers remorse sigh...

Have put it up on carousell.
Mint condition full set..

Tried the North Flag but doesn't appeal to me. I am tempted by the Black shield Fastrider (Bronze) though.

Hey such a coincidence! I was there this noon for my mum bday lunch! Lee Kui! Cold crab, duck and the oyster omelette yum yum!
My parents' favorite place. Just because the environment is old school, they think it's value for money, and hence feel better about eating here, haha...

I hardly eat anything here though, but I'm sure the food's good.
