... Or is the 'big watches' market in general dead ?
referring to my last post about Panerai www.watchprosite.com Seems like The Audemars Piguet Offshore is another victim Hot, popular, sought after between 2000 and 2010 ... and lets not forget their LE sold out in a fraction of a second, waiting li...
As I have already said in the Panerai post.
I do feel there is a move towards smaller watches whether this is just a blip or a trend that will accelerate I suppose no one really knows and only time will tell (pun intended). But also I think due to the risks of wearing a large and noticeable watch d...

Bought a 44mm watch last year
About to buy a 45mm... I've got 37, 39, 41... horse for courses, it's actually a great time to buy things considered unpopular, imagine buying up Piaget stone dials and Cartier 10 years ago, the ebb and flow of watch trends... buy what you like.
Like Nico said some watches are made to be bigger then others.
I still like some big watches . Would love to own a Breguet Tradition tourbillon 👌🏻😉 or a nice older GF , these aren’t small watches. I think some brands were overhyped and maybe overpriced and they are getting back to ,, normal,, maybe. Some ,,collectors...
