Oh lordy, I just saw this gem today.

H. Moser Introduces a Hyper-Accurate Moon-Phase Watch with a Vantablack Dial

H. Moser & Cie. has developed a very specific "look" over the years often using a minimalist interpretation of time. Although you'll see models of varying complexity throughout the different lines, some of the more iconic Moser watches lean heavily on a textured fumé sunburst dial with a surpris

Moonphase with a dial face made of vantablack, the blackest material created by science. Only 35k. Looks like I'll be saving up for this guy,

I'm saving my pennies for a new boat. There's a 50' G&S that's going to hit the market later this year that's a spectacular fishing boat. It'll run 12 knots in reverse and damn near plane chasing marlin backwards. I'll stick to my Tags and other cheapies!

I have had my eye on this for awhile and just pulled the trigger. Self winding automatic

i am a big fan of the german watches.

i am a boring person and would rather sit at home and be dumb.

German watches are great. They have ways of making you talk

A bit late now, science.

Would've been really useful for the album cover of Smell The Glove.

So I need a recommendation. There's really nothing I wanted for Christmas so my wife tells me she wants to get me this watch I have been eyeing for a couple of years now.

But the question is the face size. My wrist is on the smaller side of medium (6.75"), but I like chunky watches. My favorite watch right now is 42mm. The men's magazines say that if you wrist is on the smaller side, stay from 38mm to 42mm.

This watch she's looking at is a chunky watch, needs some size to it. They have 44mm and 40mm. Should I stick with the guidance and get the 40mm or should I go bigger. I love my 42mm, does 2mm really make a difference?

 

[Cage1]

For what's it's worth, my rec is to go with the 40.

 

[efil4stnias]

40 as well here.

you dont want it to look like a grandfather clock face on your wrist.

Save that for the sports G Shock look.

i like that "industrial" look for sure. Not keen on the color as i look for traditional but you may have spotted my next addition.

( they have a black band, white pearl face that looks sleek )

Thanks - I'm leaning that way, just for regular wear-ability.

Okay, well two opinions plus me leaning that way seals the deal.

Thanks fellers.

Well you served that one right up Chuck.
Of course it makes a difference. I’d go 44 but that’s just me. I have large hands and arms tho.

 

[zeetes]

40 is a great size. i have the same size wrist, I actually prefer 38.

you would be surprised. 2mm makes a lot of difference

unfortunately, only way to know for sure is to try them both on.

I think I've mentioned my preference for the moonphase complication on here. I kind of like this construction because it's actually an accurate representation of the gibbous shape (most moonphases just do bigger and bigger crescents, which isn't what the moon does.)

It's a little out of my range though.

This classical beauty represents a special interpretation of our rotating 3-dimensional real moon indicating the true moon phase. The moon orbits around the earth every 29,530588853 days. Our hand-made 3D miniature moon indicates the moon phase so accurately that it deviates only one day in...
