Back when watches had a sensible size.
When watches were watches and not tools for weakened egos. 🤦🏻♂️
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 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.
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, 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 liken it to sunglasses
Just because our eyeballs are small, doesn't mean you have to wear tiny sunglasses
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.

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 "virtual cocktail party".

Personally, size isn't a problem for me. I wear 32 mm to 47 mm watches with great pleasure. It all depends on the purpose of the watch. [nt]

D'accord! One of my favourite watches is 24mm - including crown. My 21st birthday watch is 30mm and my go-to Rolex is ... I don't know. Who cares? [nt]

Me, too, except that my range happens to be 34-48.
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 delivered, if it was delivered with panache.
But it does start to wear thin, so to speak. All the funny ways of saying it have already been said. Now, it’s just annoying.

Sorry, but
I can't take this post too seriously when I see a 44mm JLC Navy Seals (something) sitting right next door🤷♂️
The watch on the left is a limited series RGM.
Also a large watch, also a watch I keep for personal reasons but never wear.
watch size depends on wrist size - quite simple 💡😉
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… 😅
