for me, i do like a good fit for a watch. it's about how the watch case. lugs and bracelet fit the wrist.

eg., i really like the AP ROO and ROC but after trying them on, it doesn't seem quite right so i'm still pondering whether to go ahead or abandon the idea of owning one.

A lot of people facing this dilemma. After been obessessing watches for a while, I have always thinking to grab a PP and retire. I like the look of PP5712 much better. But 5980 fits my wrist comfortably. No chance to try 5726A as yet. Guess eventually, it boils down to what you are able to secure as well. Most importantly is you must feel happy and comfortable wearing it.

well, i always ensure i try them and see how they fit my wrist before i buy any of them. I think thats very important before i decide to make the purchase eventually.

Hi Guys,

Just wondering whether you have come to a situation where you like a watch so much but it does not suits you while it lies on your wrist eg. size, personality/character, etc. Eg. Some people would say watch is meant to be on your wrist, buy watches which suit you, Buy now sell later if it does not suits you, etc. What would you do?

You've the very valid point here.  :Dancing_banana:

That's why I buy the watches suit me or liked by me. :thumbsup:

I like JL Reverso's design and history but it is not fits on my wrist as I have tried one. Therefore not pulling the trigger at the end of the day.
