K, either that's an ancestor, or you have 4" wrists...
The 96 has a beautiful look and proportion, but when I strap one on I am immediately reminded why I never wear one. Sometimes size matters, and on my 7.5" wrist, a 96 is lost... |

I think it´s one of the most classy Calatravas out there. Minimalistic and clean design which goes way back

 I have 7" wrists and like to wear very small watches, therefore I wouldn't mind having a reference 96 in my collection. In fact, it is one of my all-time want-to-buy's!
