Size matters...!
BigBoyTime: It's funny, how my view regarding large watches has changed over time. Some years ago, all of my watches were bigger than 40mm in diameter. Nowadays i love my 38mm Hamilton. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of my Ingersoll Bateman a lot, but 45mm is really big, even with a 7 1/4 inch wrist. Nonetheless i have to wear it from time to time.
Whats your sizelimit?

I don't generally exceed 42mm.
Minimum 38, max 45 . Old, rapidly declining eyes. ... probably be rocking one of Flava Flave's castoffs in a few years 🤣🤓👴🏼
best fit prob a 39 for my small wrist but I do own a 45 ORIS Big Crown Propilot that I ❤️ for its larger wear.
Depends on the case shape and lugs but 43/44 as a rule of thumb. Will also go down to 34/36.
I can rock a Cartier Tank size and up to 44-45mm, maybe a bit bigger if L2L isn't massive. So my max limit is probably about a 50mm.
I prefer 38-44mm though.
No bigger than 44 and no smaller than 40, but I did try a 50mm on
38mm depending on how big the dial looks, if it has a thick bezel & small dial then no, as it will look like a ladies watch imo, my Sarb 017 is 39mm and when I first got it I was wearing a black monster & citizen ecozilla (48mm)so it looked tiny but after 11yrs I love it, agree 45mm is the limit going up.
I sold the citizen,it was just to big.
Matters not to me. Every watch provides a different ether while wearing it.
My 47mm Grand Divers.
Really only a 42mm but I have a big g-shock that is too big but still gets some weekend time. By the way, I've never heard of Ingersoll before, but really like it (despite the fact I just said 45mm is too big for me, I'll be looking it up anyway 😄)
