Personal Note

Being 32mm I know a feel people will hesitate, to those people I would say this will surprise you, I personally feel we are seeing people gravitate to smaller watches as people are realising how comfortable they are, often it is just our own perception due to modern watches being mostly large, let's see how long it takes until people are regularly wearing 32mm/36mm.
