    Hahaha...u very manly i know

    But I talking about cost wise...if we look just at the cost..savings about 1k upfront worth it?

      Not worth it. Spend a bit more and buy a bigger watch and looks like a real man!

      To me, anything <38mm makes me look gu niang on my wrist. Haha

          You buying new toy and seeking some opinion here?

          Sometimes not just individual preference counts. Have to wear the watches and physically make comparisons. Best if being a charbo there. Sometimes they have better taste than men.

          At the end of the day, buy something that look good on you. Not something that can give good savings.

              Darkie.. for your case, also buy something that you can trade easily.. cos it seems that way for you. Mid size watches offer only minimal savings so for me, I won't bite the bait... Cos should I really like the watch it can allow me to use it for a longer period.

              But the TT SUB got no mid size mah.. u setting a new target?

                  IMO, i agree & disagree wif some hre. If u buy for resale pupose, then size doesn't matter 2 much. Rite? Its te resale tat matters mos. Nw, if u buy for its aesthetic, then resale becomes less of an issue. Rite? Then weather or nt wat size, dpends largely on one's preference, wrist-size & IMO, te design of te watch oso. Cos' if u wear a classic type tat is 45mm, how does it look like. As compared to wearing a sports type tat is 34mm..

                  So te deisgn mus suit te size oso. Tis r all said in my own opinion only. Thanks for reading.

                      i've got a small wrist and i owned 2 boy size rollies long time back. Sold them off eventually....although they're cheaper compared to men size rollies but when you sell it to pre-owned shops...the boy size watch resale value is much lesser compared to men size watch...nett nett...you're back to square one. might as well get a men size watch...

                      let's not talk about rollies...most of the other swiss made watches are 38mm min or bigger (in fact the bigger the better now)...if you're going to collect timepieces as a hobby in future..you'll find your boy size rollie too small and it'll not get the wrist time eventually..just speaking from my experience.

                      cheers

                        Very true. Boy size resale can never be the same as the man size ones. If resale is or will be a concern, then shld consider the man size

                          if you wanna buy mid size..better get a 2nd hand one because u will lose alot if u are gonna sell it..personally, i think 31 mm is too small..
