                The poll so far surprised me a little. I thought the big watches are more popular than what it shows here.

                I am hoping to gather at least a hundred votes to draw an initial conclusion. If you are reading this and have not voted, kindly do so.

                  Just voted and thought give the thread a bump to help bro pegasi works towards the 100x votes target

                  Rolex range of sport watches e.g. the Submariner, have been 40mm since the 1960s. They are, imho, iconic and so don't really need to conform to the very latest fashions. Read from an article that the main reason Rolex increases the size of the EXP II to 42mm is due to the larger 3187 movement, not merely to get into fashion (it will be disastrous if Rolex does that). The new movement has both parachrome hairspring & parachoc shock protection.

                  Anyway, Rolex did not gain their reputation by following the fashions.... "Fashions fade, style is eternal!"

                  Just my thoughts.....

                    Tks for support. Remind me of Arsenal's slogan: Form is temporary; Class is permanent.

                      Even though big is fashionable and acceptable now, it is also equally important that the watch sits comfortably on ur wrist. it seems many of my friends agree 38~40-ish mm are the best sizes

                        my personal take is that get a watch that fits your wrist size. if your wrist size is >7.5", a 36mm may look small and weird. likewise if your wrist size is 5", a 44mm may look odd.

                        sometimes it is not just the watch size that matters, it is also how the watch sits on your wrist. for example, a AP does not sit properly on my wrist due to the lugs. however, if you refer to my helson watch, it can sits snuggly on my wrist despite the angled lugs which is similar to AP.

                                I find that 42 may be the best compromist for me. I've tried 45mm, and while i like how it looks, it does seem a bit too clunky for my wrist.
