For a long time

the standard dress watch was 29 to 31mm. At 38.5 this watch is really large for a dress watch. Up until very recently the 37/38mm case was touted as "jumbo size" Remember when, not that long ago, a 36mm Rolex president was considered really huge for a dress watch. I see dress watches settling in in the 38 to 39mm range as the super-wide watch mania is subsides. Perhaps dress watches are soft now because they got so big and are basically sports watches without the robustness, thus why bother.
