If you have anything 'normal' to compare to I would love to see it.
I have U2U'd you a picture of a 42mm watch to show how small my wrists really are

Ha ha,
My wrists are skinnier than yours  
A few of the MM (i'll get one by the side of a 43mm later; they look tiny by the side of a 47mm )
The back
Strap
Side shot (by the real thing - it's not thin but not 'that' thick)

I thought the same
You soon get used to it though, it only looks 'that' big because it doesn't have a bezel. Unfortunately all of my watches have bezels so this might help given your PO (very nice btw)
Aside a 43mm

I will defo go for the 44mm.
Do you know if any particular one is thinner than the rest?
As it stands I think I am going to go for this one with blue hands:
44mm Mini Fiddy Superlume Black Marina Militare Sandwich Dial Watch

That fiddy is quite nice 
If I didn't have the Pam 305 i'd quite fancy the Marina Militare 44mm Sub Black Dial Watch with Orange Numberals
In fact, hmmm $80....I might just buy that on the weekend

Does the expensive delivery option ($25 vs $9) make much of a difference to the time it takes to get over here?
I am not great at waiting for things to be delivered

I picked up my 2012 planet ocean today.
I hate the leather strap and deployment buckle already.
Will be going back tomorrow.

I really didn't like the leather and deployment. Much prefer the bracelet on the PO. Well worth getting over the leather or rubber straps!

I have a Tag CAF2110 Aquaracer
I did have a Casio F91-W but the strap broke.
I want another cheap watch though, don't like wearing the Tag to work, people think I get paid too much.

Ive never been a fan of omega bracelet straps.. Makes the watch wear heavy.
They have a crocodile clasp type and a black rubber in stock so ill see what they are like tomorrow.
Was very tempted by the rolex 1406m, but a little out of my budget at the minute.

Not portfolio level, but do the watches at the likes of River Island etc have fake inner dials? I was looking at one earlier which was nice enough for the money, but the buttons and inner dials seemingly did nothin?

If you don't mind me asking, where did you manage to find the UK seller?

He was on TZ-UK, not a for sale add though. Just mentioned in a post that he had one he wanted to sell so I PM'd him
I really like it. That's a very crap photo though!
I am thinking about selling my DSLR camera gear that has been sat unused for nearly a year and put it towards a Rolex. Can't really loose money on them. Unless I get a genuine Panerai?!

That looks the bollocks and it doesn't look too big there
Now i just need to make up my mind about fascia and strap
Edit - Btw, is that a 44mm fascia?
