Those are delightful watches, but the Jomashop prices are pretty typical. Obviously buy something if you want it, but don’t think that it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Bracelets are sold by lug width, not lug-to-lug length. The length of the watch is irrelevant. Bracelets with curved end links are generally listed as fitting a particular watch. Watch brands can’t practically manufacture and sell end links that fit every aftermarket bracelet. Let the aftermarket companies sort that out.
Any local watchmaker probably has spares that would fit.
Some quartz chronographs can display fractions of a second.
I’ve never really considered matching a watch with an outfit beyond formality.
I do most of my scuba dives with a “water resist” Casio F91. Anything with a gasket less than 20 years old will do fine.
Enthusiasts are over-obsessed with size, in general. Look at how many posts there are nervously asking if a watch fits. "I'd love this watch if only it was 40mm instead of 41mm!" Give me a break.
Size on its own is neither good nor bad, neither too big nor too small. It depends on context. I'm currently wearing a 17mm thick TAG Heuer Carrera, and it's delightful. A 17mm thick dress watch? Hard pass: It would never fit under a shirt cuff. So many people think that there's some sort of universal ideal size, but it really depends on the design of the watch, the size of the wearer's wrist, and the type of fit you want. This Carrera would feel silly to me if it was much smaller.
It depends on how you define “quality.” Given identical specifications, a more expensive watch would probably have better materials and finishing.
The crown is positioned at 4:00 so that it doesn’t dig into your wrist, like it could at 3:00. The 4:00 position offers better protection for the crown.
A watchmaker will have to fix it.
1.If I can’t afford to buy a watch twice without noticing, then I can’t afford it.
I only buy watches with date complications.
I only buy watches with 20mm lugs. Other measurements are irrelevant.
