That's a woman's watch. 34mm is about as small as you can get away with as a man.

I love the presage dials. If they made some day/date versions with a crown that wasn't huge at a sensible size like 37mm? I could easily see myself paying 500 bucks for one.

>buying a watch that tells the world you love dog dicks
Stick with the woman's watch. Being a fag is better than being a fag who fucks animals.

Fitting an engineer bracelet on something like that would be a little difficult, finding end links is a fucking nightmare. 38mm seems like a simple size, but then there's the spacing to the spring bar, it's all very painful, especially with niche watches. It's bad enough with a Seiko, you're not going to find any info on aftermarket bracelets for something like that.

>Could I just take it to a watch shop?
The problem isn't fitting a bracelet, the problem is finding one that matches the lug spacing, the case, and doesn't look like shit. You can get crappy hollow end links you can bend to fit, but I've never had much success with these, and they look terrible. If you have a high end CNC or a lot of patience and a drum sander, maybe you can modify some solid endlinks to fit, or get lucky and buy a bracelet that lines up. Or, if you're really lazy, you can just get straight end links, which always look atrocious. Maybe a shop will have a bunch of bracelets you can try out for size, but I doubt they'll have more than one or two models of engineer bracelet, and they'll be 200 bucks.

Yeah, there are hundreds of them. Only problem is you get a stupid name on the dial, which can be solved by swapping in a fake seiko dial for 20 bucks, and the crystals usually aren't AR coated, which will cost you another 10-20 bucks. Personally I prefer just buying the empty cases and putting a cheap seiko movement in them, it's a bit more expensive but you get more options.
