    It’s been quite a few months since I’ve watched your videos, and it’s great to see smaller 33-37mm watches! These wear much better on your wrist, and I have seen the same on many men’s wrists. Also great overall collection! Many of these pieces show a mature mindset towards watch collecting - especially the Seiko diver, U/N dress watch and Zenith defy!

    Hey Sanjay new to your channel! You have great videos, definitely got a new subscriber! I'm sad it's been a while since you updated! I was wondering your thoughts on the new Tudor Monochrome aka 41, I think it would be right up your alley! Although in fairness it would be pretty close to your 39 pelages, I'm currently debating between that and a possible POS 39.5 used which are found at even slightly cheaper price point. I had True 41mm Omega seamster plain ceramic, but I felt it was just that tad bit too big, I think my true sweet spot is a 40.5mm size!

    Nice collection sanjay, the omega is still a bit large for you though. Zenith is lovely as well as the 62mas. I like the zenith a384 range , but they are a tad small for my wrists. I'm surprised you haven't gone for the bb54 , a great watch and more impressive, than the pele 39 , in charm at least. I think a jlc reverso is right up your street , to be honest.

    Hey again, thanks so much. The PO is 39.5mm The Rikka is very nice but I was really starting to move toward smaller watches and kinda overcorrected, I think. While the Rikka is not too large, it did wear less than ideally on my wrist.

    Hi Sanjay, I am amazed by your collection and content. Really very good taste in each of your pieces. I don't know if you'll be in a position to help me. My wife wants to give me a gift for my anniversary and she wants to buy me my first entry-level luxury watch and I am hesitating between the Seiko SJE093 and the Tudor Pelagos 39. I already know that they are two very different divers, one is a recreation of the skin diver more famous from Seiko and the other is a modern reinterpretation of a true Rolex heritage tool watch. Would you dare to give me your opinion on which of the two you would choose? (without any commitment, of course). Thank you very much in advance.

    33-34mm is your sweet spot, but 36-37mm is totally doable too. The 39.5mm PO is just too big for you. I hate to tell you that, but it's the truth. Strangely, the Tudor BB can work despite it being 39mm. Maybe it's that damn helium release valve that makes the PO look too big 🤔. BTW, I'm still upset with you for letting go of that red Longines diver. THAT watch looked perfect on your wrist. I'm glad you're doing well. Even though I'm not your biggest fan, it's been worrying me that you hadn't produced a video in so long. Bobbys live streams just aren't the same without you. P.S.- I totally agree about the dauphine hands on GS. If they're not there, then it isn't a GS. Those hands say "Grand Seiko" more than even their logo.

    I think that Sanjay should stick with watches that have a small size AND a thickness taper. LIke that UN or the Seiko Cocktail Time. It’s okay if it’s big in the middle, but it needs to come back down at the edges. Small rounded wrists make it hard to wear chunky watches. I don’t think the JLC Reverso will ever work for him for that reason, nor the Cartier Santos. In fact, I don’t understand the rumoured enthusiast’s love of the Santos, because Cartier’s strengths lie in their dress watches; A Santos Dumont looks way better and I bet it will sit on Sanjay’s wrist so much better than the sports Santos. Stay away from slabby watches, Sanjay! That’s an order. 😂
