New 17000

Just bought this, I’ve been wanting one for a while, however I’m finding it too small..



Bought NOS from 1991 full set for $2.5k, so it was hard to pass up, it will most likely be my wife’s Christmas present.

I love it, but I’m not feeling it!

Looks better in pictures but feels to small, and I usually like <40mm watches.
