All good to hear, Pete! The 124270 is a fantastic update and incredibly comfortable, but at times looks a little too small to me.

Why? The one you’re wearing in the photo already looks quite big.

yeah man, I agree. In that photo, that watch looks big on you. What size is your wrist? Is that a 124270?

I recently picked up a 124270 & I love it. I was concerned on the size, since I am on the larger side of humanity, but I'm really liking the 124270.

Not too big, but certainly big enough. I have same wrists and the 124270 I think is perfect. Keep what you have it looks great.

TRF Explorer I Club Thread

I wore my MKII again today
For the first hour I was appreciating the larger case and wider clasp…..
after an hour or so the dial stated to feel too big again…..
I suspect the Chrystal is the same size as my 44mm diver.
For my taste and my wrist that’s the biggest issue.
I like the case size but the dial opening / span from the 9 - 3 just feels too big for a three hand watch. ( even after wearing the diver for last 24 hours ).

Back wearing the admittedly small 36mm version with the smaller dial size. Just feels better to me.

As for the MKII, Love the watch, just not on my wrist.

Picked mine up a few weeks ago and honestly really enjoying it more than I expected. Wears so well. Simple but refined. A great watch. I love it when the lume is charged up.

Looking at the end link/ lug tip position I’m guessing 36mm 124270
