Same for me... nothing smaller than 42mm. 44-45mm is ideal. 22-24mm lugs preferred.

I have to agree with Steve and Ken, but with big watches 44mm plus I really like the lug to be 24mm, just my preference. Do you guys see more of a push for 24mm lug.

Hey teddy... I like the 24mm better too because of the availibility of straps you can put on it... anytime you see someone designing a watch on forum, they always ask for 24mm lugs...

What's really bad is that you wake up one day and go to your watch box (or wherever you keep them) and the watch with the smallest diameter suddenly looks childlike!
"I can't wear that thing! It looks like a kids watch!" you think. You sell it off the next day.
And it was a 38mm! face4.gif Every year that childlike diameter gets larger.

regards, Dave

Great thread Edge ....I am now just getting around to reading the whole thing and posting .....I agree with most that there are times I want big ... and then I sure like a 40mm, 11mm thick kinda watch ......The Ball Fireman is pretty much perfect in size I would say ...MY ULTIMATE GRAIL watch though is the Vacharon Constantine Patrimony platinum ....simple beauty ....40mm by 9mm !!!!!! Only $ 20,000.00

I'm starting to think the monstrum is just too big for my liking. So far I've only worn it twice since getting it. Kinda sucks cause I love the dial and caseback.

As for me, I like a larger size watch.

42mm and up.
