Are big watches over?
Chad the Watch Guy is reporting that he’s seeing a max out in big watches at 42mm which means even rappers and oligarchs won’t go around wearing pie plates on their wrists for much longer. I can handle a 50mm+ sports watch, but 42mm is a bit big for a mechanical, non? Your thoughts?

I like the 42mm for those with big hands-but nothing looks more pathetic than a man with small hands wearing one of those behemoths!

[...] I commend his attention to physical activity but his wrist was way too small for the Panerai-it honestly looked like he was a kid wearing his fathers watch. The size of watches was top of mind for me becasue I had just read an post by John Biggs called Are Big Watches Over? [...]

it is a trend started by fashion houses and writers to do something different. I bet in 2yrs razor thin 80’s style watches will be back in. I think a watch looks good at around 42-44mm. I also think it is a cost issue, big watch big bracelet, more expensive to produce. I also hate the rose gold trend. It’s just fashion bs.

I agree that its getting rather excessive. I almost gagged when I saw my first Bell & Ross “wrist clock”.
At least I know what to get Shaq for his birthday.
