You share some amazing selection of Big and Small watches to enjoy viewing. Let me say that your "standard" of sizes ranging from 38 to 42 mm is similar to mine. Of course you and me don´t want to miss the fun of exploring pieces with sizes under and over our own standards!!
Now, you share interesting pieces among the whole range of sizes in your collection. Your Military series is fascinating, specially that Wheems which I think is similar to the one shown by Nicolas, but yours got a rare sterile dial! 33/34 mm may be "small" as per today standards but I find them completely charming, enjoyable and wearable.
In the other side of the size range you show Panerai which is another of my favorite brands. 47 mm may be very big for some watch users but their catalog presently offer some other sizes to acomodate every taste and need: 38, 42, 44, 45 mm makes sense for those wishing to own a Panerai with a smaller case in spite of Paneristi protest for something smaller than the original 47 mm case.
Then your very attractive GP World Traveller with several complications! That´s very interesting indeed.
And of course the MIH minimalistic looks which I know is a big favorite of yours and for good reasons. And the Habring 2 Rattrapante chrono: what a classic looks! So charming!
I completely agree with your last thought: Size is absolute a relative matter! It depends on so many things: wrist size, personal taste, lugs and case design, case back shape. We are free to choose what we like and what we love, but I feel never to follow a trend or fashion.
Keep enjoying all your superb watches in you collection my dear friend! Have a nice week ahead.
