When watches were watches and not tools for weakened egos. 🤦🏻♂️
Many of us, with proper size wrists (not pipe cleaners), are more than happy with the modern increase in size. Wrist shape will dictate what lug-lug dimension and profile the wearer can get away with, and even if it looks wrong to others, it only matters how they themselves feel. Ego isn't remotely part of the equation either, so I’ve no idea where you’ve gleaned that nugget from! A very nice Blancpain, by the way, which would’ve been a suitable title for the thread.
My wrist measures 7 3/4” and I much prefer a comfortable and low-key 35mm watch than one that looks like a billboard. Yes, to each his own and so forth, but I find the large watch trend distasteful and vulgar. I would not wear a watch larger than 40mm, and that’s for the outdoors, travel, fishing and hunting. Indeed, to each his own, yet often I see people with watches so large I cannot help but think of Sigmund Freud. Wrist diameter fixed
I can't take this post too seriously when I see a 44mm JLC Navy Seals (something) sitting right next door🤷♂️
Just because our eyeballs are small, doesn't mean you have to wear tiny sunglasses
And yes, it might be personal taste, but honestly it still looks shitty, if you wear a 44mm watch on a 6 inch wrist! Style is something you have or you don‘t… 😅
Also a large watch, also a watch I keep for personal reasons but never wear.
