What factors make a watch too big?

Tis, 60mm IIRC.

There are pics of Stallone & Arnie wearing one, & even on them it looks huge.

I've got fairly hefty wrists and forearms, 42mm is about as small as I feel comfortable wearing. 44-46mm is perfect for my every day, 47mm Panerai feels a bit big but not ridiculous etc. I'm sure others would think they're too chunky but I don't buy watches for other people to admire

It's just what you're used to I guess. I've always preferred bigger watches with some weight to them. It's often a curse, as there's some beautiful smaller dress watches that I know I'd never enjoy despite adoring them.

The price tag makes it look even sillier!

34mm

I don't understand the desire for strapping a wall clock to your wrist?!

Admittedly I have thin wrists but it does at least open up a never ending range of vintage watches to me.

You made me get the tape measure out, a shade under 6.5 inches. I have a child's wrists
Currently sporting an old GMT, I feel it wears a bit small on me
