Watches

I really need to win the lottery.

Diesel watch.

[Dusty Chalk]

Coincidentally, I was in the mall today and...OMJFHWTFBBQCG that thing is huge. 65mm! Why don't they just call it what it is, 6.5cm? It's like a teacup saucer on your wrist. I was back and forth between "fugly" and "so fugly it's cute" with the pics but in person, obtains full squatting residence in Fuglyville.

DO. NOT. WANT.

I loller'd pretty hard. Also yeah that's way too big (that's what she said).

You should have been picturing a Terry Gilliam style animation somewhere around "...BBQCG..." that included Christ on a cross, and a big hand holding a bottle of barbecue sauce.

I am awaiting a Yobokies Modded Seiko SNKH63J1... left HK yesterday on its trip to the US. Was looking for a beater automatic and figured this would do nicely.

Invizibul muvmnt watches (movements made with the same material as the crystal): Quinting

Hublot launches Aero Bang Morgan

The quinting is pretty cool

I had no idea that Diesel watch was 7 feet in diameter. I can't stand gigantic watches. I don't like tiny ones either, though. What's a standard men's watch size?

[grawk]

38mm is I believe the size of the classic rolex.

[Dusty Chalk]

There is currently a fad of larger watches, though. The blue-on-black Bell & Ross's that you're grailin' over range in size from 42mm (BR-03) to 46mm (BR-01). My huge ones (51-30) are 47mm without the crown, and I'm getting kind of used to them. But it's a fad. 38mm sounds about right, for non-fad-large watches.

Next time you're in Nordstrom's, check it out. It kind of stands out a little.

Everybody knows that size doesn't matter. It's the motion that's important.

Thanks Dusty and grawk. I had no idea that the big ones are so big. I'm not a fan of the huge watches.

[laxx]

I think for average wrists, a 40-42mm is awesome, no bigger should be worn. I'm not into the whole 47mm+, unless you have like, an 8.5" wrist.

I find 34-38 a bit on the small side, but I did just get into watches last year, so it was during the large face movement alerady.

[grawk]

I like my big orange watch

[Dusty Chalk]

What big orange watch? I remember you posting when you got it (now that you've brought it up again), but forgot about it when I saw the new big orange Invicta Reserve Subaqua Venom (quartz, unfortunately) recently. It was reminding me of something, but couldn't remember what, now I remember.

[grawk]

That one

[Dusty Chalk]

Russian Diver, looks like

I don't think I have an 8.5" wrist, but like I said, I'm certainly used to at this point wearing a 47mm watch.

[VPI]

The smallest watch I wear is a 40mm and I think it is a bit small for my wrist. I really like the big watches but I tend to go with something smaller, less noticeable for a daily beater. That being said it is bonus time again and I intend to buy a watch or two. I have seen some really interesting watches in this thread and the big ones always catch my eye so I will probably lean towards a 46mm size this time.

I love my big Hamilton mechanical, but I sometime how to take it off when I'm doing large amount of typing due to its weight.

Love the orange watch, Dan.

I would definitely be interested to see what you are thinking about.

I haven't done a whole lot of research yet but I remember a house watch from Wempe here in NY. Large pilots watch, sort of like a large Sinn but a bit dressier. I also thought about going smaller and getting an Omega Speedmaster and a Sinn 356. I will probably just end up picking up a Panerai as they have routinely been some of my favorites during my watch shop trips over the years.
