whitestripes Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I have discovered that I prefer slim watches. Comparing my new 3717 to my gen Speedy Pro, the 3717 rides up much higher and I notice it on my wrist, compared to the Speedy, which sort of sinks in a bit to my wrist. Off the wrist, they are not noticeably different in thickness, but the case back shape definitely affects it. As I know now to strongly consider thickness in watches (I believe the 3717 is ~15mm), what good reps are there that are fairly thin? I love the SMP chrono but at 17-18mm it's far too thick. Of course, you can't compare chrono thicknesses to non-chronos, so what would be the best choices in each? By thin I mean 13mm and below. Do 7750's even exist in that thickness? I'm sure regular ones do. (I hope the new Bond Seamaster, when it comes out, will be fairly thin!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadog13 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I know for sure that a MBW/MBK PP Nautilus is really thin...don't know exactly how much it is in mm, but belive me...it's thin! and the built quality of the rep is one of the best I saw in a rep...that rep is pure elegance...

tobico Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 you can buy a lower end rep that has a quatz movement, for example, Vacheron Rep has a basic model call ultra thin, that has a very thin Quatz movement (about 2mm), which is classic, yet functional.

takashi Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I think I have bought a Piaget rep from River. It has ETA7001 manual wind movement (really thin) and also small... Well... I would recommend PP Nautilus if you are looking for something thin and classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
