How does one wear a 'big' watch?

Aug 08, 2024,11:25 AM
 

Let's see if some forum members could show us how to wear a larger timepiece. Comfortably, I hope. This piece is 32mm wide and 44mm long, plus small 'comma' shaped lugs. chk.

Beautifully sized!

The alpine eagle chrono has good reason to be sized at 43 (if I recall correctly.)

The excaliber looks great, more so with bracelet!

The bucherer flyback I am less familiar with, but of course a larger dial has more room for the tachymeter, subdials and other print. Enjoy

This is by far the biggest watch I have.

I used to have a big pilot but sold it years ago and can’t find any photos. But this PAM will never leave my collection. ...  

My largest is the Izul at 51mm

But the fact that it’s lugless, made out of titanium and has a curved case back all help 😊👍🏻 ...  

The Izul needs most of the size…

As the case is fully rotatable - depending on what you use it for the pushers can be either at the bottom or the top 😊👍🏻 The Chopard LUC 8HF is quite a bit smaller 😊 ...  

Very nice 8hf!

I am a fan. Not so much of the newer DLC 8hf with a power reserve (& concave bezel), or the alpine eagle 8hf, but this bi-material 8hf (& convex bezel). Great piece.

Same here…

Been looking for one for about 8 years, on and off, before I found it 😊👍🏻

Yay big watches!

48mm but light in Ti and with a beefy rubber strap 46mm with curved case back and ratched spring bars 44mm with articulating lugs ...  

That is a beautiful watch

And for me would be a perfect size as I regularly wear a 47mm Panerai, but, have had the pleasure of the Egiziano which was challenging! Also the Deepsea Challenge which i was surprised wore as well as it did. ...  

Embarassedly

from knocking it on doorframes and trying to get my keys out of my pocket! This is a Seiko Galante. I think it was about 46 x 18 ...  

That’s so funny….

Just today I chose to wear this one as it has been awhile. 46,5 mm and height approx 17mm or so. It’s heavy… ...  

Does the cutout not show the running seconds from the middle

I fail to understand why Zenith would not make more (design renditions, sales, matching cases, etc.) with the El Primero movement...

No it doesn’t….

More towards the bottom middle (6 position) of the cutout so its aligned with the hour mark at 9. If you zoom in you can see it.
