 First off, I am not a small guy. short yes. 5,9 but I weigh 245. Pretty stocky.As my brother likes to say when we are out at dinner, "why dont you take off your shoes and eat with your other hands?" Apparently I remind him of a gorilla.  My wrists are about 8 inches. I dont know if thats big or average or what. All I am saying is that I had one of those parnis U bootish style watches that I thought looked ridiculous on me it was so big. (the rectange one, not the round one)
But then Hammer had to get that 60mm monstrosity he has, and I have been eyeing them for awhile, so I got one at a deal in PVD.
and you know what? I LIKE this thing. its freakishly large, but kinda cool. and after its been on my wrist for about 2 minutes, I dont even notice it anymore. (Although I have to watch out for low flying planes. ) but its comfortable. It weighs 290 grams. and its mechanical. (Asian 6497 hand winder) keeps AMAZINGLY accurate time. and its power reserve is about 40 hours. And it is the END all BE all of conversation starters. The Lume is actually REALLY good, sandwich dial that is set so low below the Sapphire crystal that its just looks cool. Yeah. Sapphire. un real. Now, if I can just find a PVD mesh band in 26mm..........my love.gif

Oh, one downside to it. When You have sausage fingers like me, its actually quite a chore to wind this beast to its max. The crown guard is so big that I can barely reach in there.

Size comparison shots, Next to some of my other big watches. If youve ever owned a J-Sar, you know just how big this thing is by sitting next to it.
