After the “weakened ego” statement, you have no room to now complain with the word “deleterious”

Either insults are okay or they aren’t. With this worn-out topic, I vote for the latter.

Back when watches had a sensible size.

When watches were watches and not tools for weakened egos. 🤦🏻‍♂️ ...  

When was this time exactly ? [nt]

What’s with the inimical title?

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 ... 

What’s with the deleterious ”pipe cleaner”?

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, an...

I liken it to sunglasses

Just because our eyeballs are small, doesn't mean you have to wear tiny sunglasses ...

Well said, Rick

The OP just flat-out insulted everyone whose taste in watch size is not equal to his own. While I understand that the moderating on this forum is predominantly hands-off, I for one would appreciate such comments being deleted. They have no place in our "v... 

Lovely lugs ! [nt]

Excellent! [nt]

Me, too, except that my range happens to be 34-48.

 
 By: rdenney : November 6th, 2019-07:47
What annoys me is how these subjects are presented. People may think it’s humorous to equate an enjoyment of large watches with psychological conditions or some form of compensation, and I laughed the first two or three thousand times that trope was deliv... 

Sorry, but

I can't take this post too seriously when I see a 44mm JLC Navy Seals (something) sitting right next door🤷‍♂️

Yeah, that's true [nt]

The watch on the left is a limited series RGM.

 
 By: Catulle : November 5th, 2019-14:55
Also a large watch, also a watch I keep for personal reasons but never wear.

It is. 👍 [nt]

 
 By: Catulle : November 6th, 2019-05:49

watch size depends on wrist size - quite simple 💡😉

 
 By: MCG (Markus) : November 5th, 2019-13:49
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… 😅

My feelings exactly. [nt]

You can wear it or you can’t

Good visibility with a large dial Some issues with cuffs Straps have to be extra-rugged But there are reasons why the words CLOCK and WATCH are not synonymous! Cazalea ...
