How big is too big? Howz about 65mm

Up to 65mm now? And it's not an invicta

I thought our Laco Limited edition 861771 was large at 55mm (WWII Issue repro).
But how does somewhere wear a watch that is 65mm????

Perhaps André The Giant could've pulled it off. But that is huge!

Super Size

Ok, I wear big watches for a girl. But really. I have Swiss Army in every color mostly diver/expadition w/ rotating bezels. Some faces are just too over the top huge & make a statement but are ridiculous.

I'm surprised Antoine Preziuso produced that piece. His biggest market by far is the far East. This piece really doesn't play well to that crowd. Perhaps Antoine is trying to expand his base??

Just measured my left wrist. Outside to outside at widest point is right at 60 mm.

If you go just the flat upper surface where a watch would sit, I measure just over 50 mm...

Arnie is probably 35 lbs lighter and a lot softer than he used to be, too. But even at his peak, that watch would be absurd.

I've often thought it was rather funny to see F1 drivers in the post race press room interviews with their giant watches on small wrists, especially guys like Massa.

That's one big honker, even on Arnie.

The Ferrari SS Scud at 44 mm outside bezel diameter is the biggest watch I own and right at the upper limit for my build and wrist size.

I guess in his Mr. Olympia shape (250 lbs), it might have worked....but back then, people would have thought such a big watch was a circus prop!

The biggest I own is 42mm, which is great on my wrist, although I couldn't see more than 44ish for me.
