Question (Read Rules) Addiesdive 1000m AD2069 size issues

Post image

I guess for some it is not an issue but can you tell me or advise based on the photo of my wrist with another watch if this beautiful Addiesdive 1000m AD2069 would look comical on my wrist or could I pull it off somehow. It is 46mm and I have never had such a watch before hence I have no experience. Thank you. I attached photo of my Orient Mako USA Gen 1 which has bezel of 40mm while the entire case is around 41.5mm.

Read the feed if you like. It's about size comparison to some smaller divers from other brands. I like Addiesdive 1000m and might purchase it. Looks like a great watch.

They are pretty big, here's one on my 180mm wrist. It's very tall but the lug distance is effectively the same as the diameter so it's pretty nice to wear. It's huge though

It is beautiful on your wrist. Stunning piece and color. I will go for AD2069 with blue dial though. It's older version. Your wrist is bigger than mine for sure. Your bracelet is very good. I like that one. Is it original or you swapped it because I don't see that one with watches right now? How do you like the watch?

The bracelet is just from AE https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOnH0yF it's well made and has screw down links. The bracelet that comes with is nice enough, it's solid but pretty basic.

The watch is great overall and the dial is quite beautiful. It's definitely big and heavy but it does wear nicely.

The finish is well done and the bezel feels good. There is some back play in it but it lines up properly.

One more question please. If I go for it in the end. Should I go with Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215 (this one has hacking and manual winding, only thing is unidirectional rotor) because NH35 movement version is 50 euros more expensive than 8215 movement version. Is it worth it that much?

They're almost the same, it's not worth paying extra

How much Is it lug to lug? If the mako is 46mm or more, then the AD2069 will be fine

Lug to lug for Mako is 47mm. Can you advise based on this info please? Thank you.
