Just picked up a 39mm Moonie (Andrew @ TT) that Matej will be making some needed mods on. I can handle this size but what really kills me is lug length. I'm comfortable up to 46 and it's a bit dicey at 47/48 but at that size case height comes into play. The most comfortable watch I've had on in a while is the TAG Aquaracer 300m mid size. It comes in at 39 but the lug length is relatively short and sits perfectly. Also my Seamaster 37 is very comfy but 30 years ago size wasn't the fashion statement it is now. I'd say my sweet spot is 38-39mm with a case height of 12-13.5mm lug length up to 46. It's limiting, but at least I won't go broke buying everything that fits me. I feel bad for you 8.0+ guys because it's a big candy shop out there, especially in repland...

I'm back but it's like I never left and now I remember why I left and I might be gone again. My problem is my left wrist. It's a 6.25 maybe a 6.5 if I want to wear it loose. Seems that my universe has always been a bit smaller, except in the 70's when watches were smaller so it wasn't an issue. Can anyone point me in the direction of smaller reps, especially divers? I've sourced out a vintage Tudor at 39mm that would work, but what I was hoping to find in reps is a TAG Aquaracer 300m at 39mm, no luck, or a Hydroconquest at 38.5; no way, or a Planet Ocean at 38, no such animal. Pams have always been unattainable do their shear mass (a 44mm looks like I've got a frying pan on my wrist) Is there a smaller Pam rep that would work for me? This query isn't relegated to the rep community, it's my problem with gens as well but most of the smaller gen watches I could wear are not found on the rep side. Any suggestions?

Looks like you've been fighting the good fight for a while. I was just diagnosed with Prostate cancer last month and I'm able to start treatment in 2 weeks. I think about my family every day and how they're reacting to all of this but I've learned one thing in the process; be truthful, as much as it will hurt tell them. Everyone handle cancer differently. My son wept (22), my daughter (16) thought I was joking and you could tell she was having a hard time processing. I try not to think about it and honestly either I'm not dealing with it, or I feel I'm going to live forever. My heart is with you and your family.
