I have always liked, and owned "smaller" watches. 36mm is more than fine with me,
biggest one I have is a Rolex Submariner, that's about as big as I personally care to get. I've see watches on guys that make me just shake my head and roll my eyes over the size. I have a vintage Hamilton that is probably 33mm, I'd strap it on and wear i...
Very good point. Smaller watches are imo very tasteful
And a noticable difference to many modern but imo ugly man-quartz watches. ("DIESEL")
Same here!
I restrict myself to a watch size of 35-39 mm. Anything bigger and it starts to look odd ...
Only if one has very poor eyesight...
Otherwise clearly not, as you illustrate so well! Lovely Patek. And a great strap also. What is that interesting looking knife in the background?

30.5 mm
I wear the 3796 and 3923. The size is perfect. Never been a fan of the pocket watch on the wrist syndrome.
Size matters not...
There's really no accounting for taste, good or bad, big watch or small watch. It is all very subjective in regards to watch size. I too am a big fan of the IWC big Pilot range, especially the 5002 release. However I guess i'll draw the line with the PAM ...
Small watches are lovely.
But so are big watches, on the right wrist, and carried by the right personality. The smallest of these is 40mm. —Rick ...
