·Same here. Any specific reason?
The new glassbox style release just isn’t doing it for me. Too small and the design doesn’t draw me. The Skipper is better, I must admit, but still not grabbing me.
I would be happy to be proven wrong, when I actually get to see one IRL, but sadly I think I know how I will feel.

·Just noticed the Skipper is available again to ADD TO CART on the US TAG website.
FYI for anyone who missed out at launch and is looking for one.

·Yes. 39mm isn't that small, I don't understand why the new glassbox feels so damned small.

·Because the dial opening is a lot smaller than 39mm
I think it's more to do with the case shape and the glass going right to the edge, in theory it should wear larger because there is almost no bezel (outside the glass) and the bezel is the same colour as the dial. I have smaller watches that wear bigger, and 39mm watches that wear much bigger. It's a long time since I tried it on, but I remember just being so shocked how small it seemed for a 'reasonable' sized watch.

When I compare the Skipper to my other 6 39mm Glassbox Carrera's it feels larger than a 39.

·Oh really. Well that's odd. It feels way smaller to me than say a 39mm 2000.

·But then the Ice King struck me as tiny too...

·I am absolutely loving this watch. I managed to acquire two examples. One for me and one for a friend (who had to back out at the last minute leaving me with an extra). Mine hasn’t left my wrist. The unworn example is going to end up in someone’s hands at under MSRP and make them very happy. What a great timepiece.

Is this the original strap? I've never seen white stitching on any of these.

·Great pic..

This is an aftermarket strap, I much prefer the white stitching.

·Popped into the Boutique today. They sold the Skipper they had only yesterday.
Looking at the standard Black and Blue models, they still look tiny to me.

·From 2020, a custom Bamford, beating TAG at its own game. This would've been an interesting release. Monaskipper? Skipperaco?
