The picture is very deceiving, and I can only wonder that one who has already seen Stuhrling watches knows what to expect when they get one, because I didn't.  I'll agree it is a work of art, and I've never owned a skeleton watch before.  But if I had seen this on someone else or in a store on display, I never would have believed (and still have difficulty with it) that this is a woman's watch. I have large wrists, and always have with my English/Danish farmer history, but this watch eclipses my arm.

So while everyone should be admiring the machinery and workings, they may be wondering why you are wearing something that looks like it should be on a man weighing approx 200 lbs and is about 6'2". It's not just that it's a larger face, it is taller.  It catches on things, because it sits up higher than a normal watch - about half an inch up off your wrist.  And for such an expensive watch, knocking it around on everything from my freezer to the car door really didn't make me feel great, despite it's German manufacturing.

It's a sturdy, well-built, great-looking watch.  But I apparently I prefer my watches to be of a subtler appearance. I still don't really see it, looking at the photo, but to each one's own.
