    Tim - you're correct that the Rotondo caseback is not shown on the website, but all of the Recordmaster (display) casebacks are. Also, I agree with others than 40mm is all wrong; I would have loved a 36mm.

    Recordmaster looks interesting.....does the dial rotate at 33 or 45 rpm?.... a tad large at 40mm.

    It's an attractive watch but a tad on the large side from my perspective. Now to sign out 🎶 'da da da da da' (trombone growl) marvelous.

    Hi Tim. To me, that date display turns out to be "aesthetically destructive": it visually unbalances the watch, and cuts off the index at 3. Now, with the Recordmaster line (2:28) we are talking about a watch perfectly balanced and with all its indexes intact, as it has to be. Nice piece. Unfortunately, it's way above my self-imposed watch-buying budget. Regards from Chile!

    38 mm would have been better, but the design is great none the less.

    Didn't know they were brought back to live! 40mm is a pity, should've been 39 at max (but preferably 36.5 - 38)

    They didn't have anything I found with a diameter less than 40mm, so they run on the large size. However, some of the designs are quite lovely and the prices are fairly good. The few I looked at have Sellita 200 automatic movements.

    Do they have drilled lug holes? That’d be nice. Great video Tim!

      Going to the gym won't increase the size of your wrist measurement as it's; in fact made up of tendon rather than muscle.
      A lot of those, but not all, who complain about about watch sizes are merely obese.
      But when you see someone like Robert Mitchum,well over six foot, wearing a 32mm watch, with no problems, one begins to wonder where the real problems are to be found.

    Nice Design. 40mm for a dress watch, is a Nein Nein! But no In House Movement? 🤔

  • @deedee8568
    @deedee8568 Рік тому +3

    Must be a headache, deciphering the best case-size to produce. 38mm would alienate those not wanting less than 40mm and vice-versa.

    • @balesjo
      @balesjo Рік тому

      From what I saw, they had no men's watches under 40mm. That can alienate potential customers that either have small wrists or who prefer a smaller diameter watch. Also, from what Tim said, they sound a bit lackadaisical about their business, at least on their web-based business. This would also be of concern for someone desiring to order one online. It also begs a question about their level of service after the sale.

    Nice looker but crying out for 38mm. A lot of these smaller brands are slow to react to trends. They are making bigger cases when everyone else is trending smaller.
