For various reasons I have never taken the plunge to grow my collection size wise, as well as numbers wise. Maybe it is my preference for watches to be reasonably light (as you might know few bracelets, too, for the same reason), maybe it’s my chicken siz...
Thanks so much!

We’re amongst the first smaller watches I got and the fantastic proportions made me a convert 😊👍🏻
Thanks so much - a stock Felix…

With a different strap. The design and proportions are spot on, though. Thin, well proportioned and a pleasure on the wrist 😊👍🏻
Your choice....
By: enjoythemusic : October 22nd, 2022-12:27
Well, we got thin... . . . . . . Then we have Thicc . . . . Then there's 'classic' sized with a big thanks to Breguet. . . . And lastly the 'Grandfather' to them all. Who's your daddy ...
Thanks so much!
By: KMII : October 24th, 2022-04:12
The electric blue toad strap does make for maximum contrast to the yellow patina of the hands and numerals 😁👍🏻
Interesting selection…
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 23rd, 2022-15:38
both in variety and case size. I completely agree with you about the Habring, it’s a great watch. Best regards Captain
Perfect fit!
By: KMII : October 22nd, 2022-15:41
And a very nice shot - thanks for joining 👍🏻
Thanks

I enjoy a wide variety of sizes tbh
By: Watchonthewrists : October 21st, 2022-08:24
At first I thought this 37 would wear small but when I tried it on my wrist it was just perfect A lot of people thought and said this watch (44.5)was to big but for me its a perfect sports watch Big and bulky but so cool Another big (46)watch but because ...
As you stated…
By: KMII : October 21st, 2022-12:17
Certain watches belie their size (small or large) on the wrist - it’s when the designers did a proper job with proportions 👌🏻 All fantastic pieces you are showing, even if I have to say that the Habring and VH edge it out as my favorites in your entry thi...
The Gronefeld, Breguet and VH

Melt into your wrist. This week’s topic by KMII made me come to a realization, i cannot have it all. A new beautiful release which makes my heart flutter and wallet totally empty, may actually turn out to be a misfitting piece.
It added to it
By: Cookies : October 22nd, 2022-05:52
With a new realization and insight to collecting what’s best for one’s wrist size.=D
Great mix! 💪
By: Andy_Mac : October 22nd, 2022-16:11
But for me, Vianney Halter for the win! 👌👌 Wowser!!
Quite late for a comment, I know.. But..
By: hs111 : October 23rd, 2022-18:51
Simply find your watch line-up great, the Breguet, the H2 Chrono (which was part of a Monochrome project, if I remember) and that georgeous VH are sublime pieces, so well in their proportions. Well done ! 🙂👍
Sweet spot 35,36,37
By: jml_watches : October 21st, 2022-09:10
Hi All For me it's probably between 35 & 37. Though do have smaller & larger watches - main thing is do I like it 35 36 37 And here's a couple of cheeky 34s HAGWE Cheers JML ...
Wonderful pieces there…
By: KMII : October 21st, 2022-12:18
With the signature alarms being represented, too 👌🏻 What an elegant selection for this weekend 👍🏻🙌🏻
Cheers 🙂

Great post
By: Cookies : October 21st, 2022-12:48
Great post. It made me reflect hard and realize some pieces in my collection do not look good on my wrist. The PSM Piccadilly at 36mm. I feel, this piece melts on my wrist as the proportions are good. The Airking (due to give it to to my cousin, so I stop...
Wow- what a post 🙌🏻👌🏻
By: KMII : October 22nd, 2022-04:37
Funny that - for me the 58 is the only BB that works on my wrist 🤷🏻♂️ The original size is too chunky, the 36 looks oddly small, while the 39 decidedly too large - go figure 😊 Some superb pieces in your post 🙌🏻👌🏻
By: psfparis : October 21st, 2022-13:36
36 or die !!!!!!! ...
Four delectable pieces…

And so wonderfully proportioned, too 🙌🏻👌🏻 The VC I plan to add one day 🤞🏻

By: KMII : October 22nd, 2022-04:41
I was expecting a Pythagore but this is an equally lovely piece 🙌🏻👌🏻
Could not agree more!
By: KMII : October 22nd, 2022-04:43
Lug design, thickness, bezel to dial ratios and the like will all determine if a watch fits 👍🏻 Nice of you to have showcased some larger pieces 👌🏻
Interesting Theme dear KM!! And you share some superb…
By: Subexplorer : October 22nd, 2022-01:22
… timepieces to open the thread. Fantastic watches in a wide range from 33 mm to a big 51. I was surprised to learn that the Raketa was only 33mm!! A watch I like so much and thought it was much larger. Guess real matter around size is not only diameter b...
Great range in your selection, too 👍🏻
By: KMII : October 22nd, 2022-04:46
From 34-47, and all looking good. And watches that fit us years ago are not suddenly wrong because of changing fashions 😊
Love the shot …
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 23rd, 2022-15:35
Of your 1016 Rolex Explorer and I completely agree with you about the perfect size of this watch. It’s always been a firm favourite in my collection… ...
Thank you so much dear Captain. 36 mm is the ideal size.
By: Subexplorer : October 24th, 2022-21:50
I find the proportions are so balanced in this size. Guess Rolex understood that when they begun offering this size again after switching to 39 mm a few years ago. You share another great example which confirms our thoughts about the 36 mm size in this wa...
A gem of wisdom…
By: KMII : October 22nd, 2022-04:47
As long as it fits and one likes it, it’s fine 😊👍🏻
Yes indeed
By: Cookies : October 22nd, 2022-05:44
I’m very happy because i’ve never worn a yellow/red metal watch in my life and today marks that rite of passage. To tell u the truth, I will be selling off my Grand Seiko to offset for this purchase.=D It wears more delicately than the SM300 professional ...
Something new…
By: KMII : October 23rd, 2022-06:56
GS Diver leaving as a result?
I hope so
By: Cookies : October 23rd, 2022-07:14
A watch repair gentleman told me to reserve my GS SBGH273 for him. I have to let it go. Maybe with the budget, I’ll get my younger sister a good piece.
What a piece!
By: KMII : October 22nd, 2022-15:43
Now that’s certainly something not seen every day - amazing piece and good to see it fits so well in spite of the content requiring a large size 👌🏻👍🏻
Simply wow!
By: KMII : October 22nd, 2022-15:45
The breadth and variety of pieces is amazing and your strap combinations simply epic! What a post 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻
Indeed! 😉☺️

what a show
By: donizetti : October 23rd, 2022-18:39
some great watches and strap pairings! What is the metal bracelet on the Omega 859? Best Andreas
Ran the numbers
By: donizetti : October 22nd, 2022-17:26
The size range of my watches is 33-47mm, the mean and the median are 42mm, so I guess that’s my sweet spot! The watch today is a little smaller at 41. HAGWE Andreas ...
Stunning
By: Cookies : October 23rd, 2022-10:13
My eyes got stuck on that image.
thanks Abel!
By: donizetti : October 23rd, 2022-16:53
size has certainly drifted up over the years for me! Best Andreas
For my 16.75cm wrist,
By: borisundercover : October 23rd, 2022-05:25
I’d say between 33 and 37mm for a classic timepiece, can go (in some cases) up to 39/49mm for a sports / tool watch but no further. I guess it also depends on your wrist bone structure.
I’d love to,
By: borisundercover : October 23rd, 2022-10:07
But I’m not home til next Thursday, and didn’t take any watch with me 😅 they are currently enjoying their cocoon, waiting for my return (hopefully). I’ll try to make good amends for it then 🤓
Some real surprises here…
By: KMII : October 23rd, 2022-17:53
The Piaget looking much larger than the on paper size would make one believe, while some of the others work the other way. And as you well know - your collection is simply mind boggling 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Many thanks KM - and thanks for organizing this week’s event.
By: Timeout : October 24th, 2022-06:31
The Piaget is quite an interesting watch - and still thin in absolute terms and very wearable - not too delicate. It’s been great to see so many shapes and sizes this weekend - all lovingly cared for by our knowledgeable and interesting community. I alway...
The evolving sweet spot …
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 23rd, 2022-12:47
Hello dear KM and friends ! I find that the “Sweet Spot” depends on the watch as size should ideally be appropriate to the watch design and concept. The Zenith is a good example of this with its tribute to the airborne pioneers, the Pilot Montre d'Aréonef...
Thank you dear friend …
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 23rd, 2022-15:29
Case size is all part of our journey with watches. Have a great weekend ! Captain
Haha ! …
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 23rd, 2022-18:11
The Goldilocks ! … perfect name for this watch 👍
The true allrounder…
By: KMII : October 24th, 2022-04:15
One can even swim with it (OK deep dives would be a challenge but then 99,99% of owners wouldn’t contemplate them) 😊👍🏻
Again you’re spoiling us with the background…
By: KMII : October 23rd, 2022-17:59
As well as the watches! Lovely vintage military pieces - demonstrating that even soldiers, whose wrists did not tend to be on the slim side, managed the sizes perfectly well. This time your Longines is my absolute favorite 🙌🏻👌🏻
The 6810-8000 😊
By: KMII : October 24th, 2022-04:17
Harboring Seiko’s thinnest mechanical movement at 1,98mm. The movement has been in use (in some form) since the 60s, nowadays fitted only to Credors. And for added fun, a rare shaped movement in a round case 😉
My comfort zone . . .
By: Dr No : October 23rd, 2022-19:58
. . . just expanded. So much so that an Ultra Deep like this . . . . . . is on order. And this from a guy who's usually more comfortable . . . . . . with 10 mm less. ...
Life is full of surprises…
By: KMII : October 24th, 2022-04:20
While I reckoned your GS was the largest you wore, this clearly ratchets up the size range a lot! I am looking forward to shots of your dive adventures 🦾👍🏻🤞🏻
