I still prefer the 44mm to 48mm range. 42mm is getting on the small side for me. :cool:

Edgel wrote: OK, Guys. Sorry to step on your thread, Huck, but the trip to Hawaii was spectacular. Two nights in Waikiki to start. I bought a ukelele at Bob's Ukelele and rented a car for a drive around the North shore. The waves were not that high for the time of year but found a great restaurant called Ted's Bakery where I had grilled Spam and Mahi Mahi for lunch.
The next day, we boarded the Pride of America for a cruise around the Islands with stops on Maui, at Hilo and Kona on the big island, and two days on Kauai. I must have seen at least 100 hump back whales on the trip, rode a bicycle down the volcano on Maui, hit the happy hour at the Napa Wine bar on the ship too many times, and saw the lava oozing into the ocean at night on Hawaii island. And my honey and I got along great for the whole trip.
The biggest problem with going to Hawaii at this time of year is that I had to come back.
I took my Ball Fireman for viewing in the cabin at night and my G Shock for water play and snorkeling.
This is my Lady at the luau on Kauai where my avatar was taken with one of the other performers in the fabulous show they put on.

Great Picture Edgel, Awesome

I find myself enjoying smaller watches lately too, after my summer spree with large ABC's. My 37mm HMT's and 36.5mm Zeno have been seeing as much wrist time as anything I have that is 42+mm.

Cheers,
Griff

I have never allowed the size of the watch rule my decisions...not all watches can handle certain movements and I like collecting movements as much as what surrounds themhand6.gif

Anything below 42mm looks small to me still. Maybe my eyes are going to hell as I get older, but I like a good-sized dial.

But then again, anything larger 48mm scares me. :shock:

Being 6'2" and 220 lbs, I tend to go for bigger watches. However, I really enjoy my GMT Master II, so that would form the comfort zone on the small side of things.

I sold most of my vintage watches because I never wear them due to size.

I have everything from 36mm to 44mm (maybe one 45mm) but my preference is the 38mm to 42mm range!

To me, some occasions warrant wearing smaller watches but I am most happy when wearing 42+mm pieces...

I say if you start going under 40 mm for a dress and you do not want to wear bi-focals......then you may have a problem.

I am really liking the size of the d.freemont Barcelona...lean and clean...

I do have some old hammies and a couple of Conquests..that do not get enough wrist time due to size....
