Nice I didn't know you had this.

How many damn watches do you have Kelly?? I guess if we have a GTG I can bring some of my underwear to make up for lack of watches.

Thanks Drew, Jason, Johnny,Brice and Kelly.

Wife says "thank you" for your birthday wishes, Kelly!

Kelly, all of the calendar functions (date, weekday, month, year, 24 hour day/night indicator, and moon phase) are connected and can be set with a single recessed push button (see photo below - the lever next to it allows you to switch the alarm between "vibrate" and "alarm"). Each time the recessed push button is depressed it advances the calendar by one day. The watch knows how many days are in the applicable month (including leap years) and adjusts the month and year accordingly. It won't need a calendar adjustment until Feb 28, 2100. It's pilot proof.....

Cheers. Gordo

a man after my own heart; the simplest of the ATs, it's the only watch i've ever owned that i've never considered on the table. it's simply perfect.

So cool, Gordo. Good to know that it's a bit simpler to adjust than I had thought. Beautiful piece brother!

I'd be in for that too, maybe white lume that glows blue? Unfortunately (fortunately for them) Steinhart can't keep up with existing demand and ETA movement availability is part of their problem, so I don't see it happening.

Thanks and I fully agree. This is one that I'll own forever. My (fiancée) now wife, gave it to me for a B-Day about 10 years ago.

Have you hidden your's from the wifey yet?

IIRC your size preference leans towards 40-41mm and the MM visually wears like a 42mm - it belies its rated 44mm size because of the case taper. comparing it to other 42mm divers like the 3536, the MM actually looks smaller and compared to true 44mm pieces like the pelagos, u1/u2, etc. the MM looks markedly smaller. it does sit a bit high on the wrist because of the thickness though, not helped by the smaller caseback surface.

my wrist isn't large at 6.75" and think the MM is fine i'm not one of those who subscribes to the "if the lugs don't stick out past your wrist, then it's not too big camp" so i'm very mindful of evaluating other fators besides case or lug-to-lug sizes when determining how a piece can look on the wrist.

cheers.
