The movement, in plain words

IXDAO lists the Seiko NH34 for the JD-6542 Vintage GMT. It is an automatic, so wearing it winds it.

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 37 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 66% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 4.1 mm inside each model edge.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.
