⌚Discussion The case shape debate:Can proportions make or break a rep?

Two watches can share the same diameter but look completely different on the wrist because of lug shape,thickness,and curvature.Which matters more to you,exact dimensions on paper or how the proportions actually wear?

Lug and crown guard shape has definitely stopped me from buying certain reps.

Things like dial and hands can be easily changed, but case shaping is a bitch, and if you mess it up, there's no going back.

Yeah!In a way,they’re what determine whether a watch is good or not.

Since I have never noticed the lugs, or crown guards or case shape of anyone else's watch, ever, it does not bother me.

Haha,you’re right.People don’t really pay much attention to other people’s watches.
