Very nice, what size wrist do you have if you don't mind me asking.
Around 7 and 3/4 “ ish
But pics can be tricky in what camera setting, normal can look fine, 0.5 can make hand small and watch look huge. My wrists tend to be not over wide, but thick .
 
This Casio Marlin digital watch was my first decent watch which my ex-wife bought for me for Christmas back in 1983, I have kept it working over the years by changing the battery myself. It still works well although I no longer wear it. It is a bit battered but it is 42'ish years old.

Couldn't resist so bought one of these, my first Bulova.
 
Very nice watch Bud. Am looking forward to receiving my first Bulova today.

Bulova make some nice watches although i'm not sure if it's the same company that used to make the Hummers from the 1970's 🤔

Here's mine..

From the 1950s with fancy lugs.. Still runs great too!

A Hummer (Accutron) from the early 70's..

A mil type with continuous sweeping second hand, The second hand actually ticks at (I think) 16 beats per second so it looks continuous like the old hummers!

Another military type watch that looks continuous on the sweep..

Looks like I'll be starting a collection of Bulova watches as I have all the solar Citizens and Seiko's I want a plus good selection of Tissot's.

I've had several Tissot's through the years and won't buy another as every single one gave problems 🙁
