Hi all,

This probably isn't an issue for most on here with 4 / 5 figure budgets or tastes!

However, I've got a few big watches (45mm - 48mm) and struggle wearing anything smaller as it just feels a bit lost. (I have an older watch that is 42mm I believe which now never gets worn).

Maybe a more exclusive / prestigious watch that is smaller could work but for now, I don't have the budget for that.

I'd like a silver bracelet type watch but struggling to find anything on the larger side that doesn't look cheap / tacky (I know some will laugh at that comment given my current collection!).

I have a TW Steel Pilot, TW Steel Canteen, an MVMT cheapy and a very old never work Sekonda wannabe thing.

With £500 is there anything you watch guys could suggest? I'm open to all suggestions on styles, I like a chrono.

If you are OK with quartz, some of the Citizen watches wear a bit on the large size.

Citizen Skyhawk/Nighthawk ranges and Casio's Edifice range may be worth a look, if you like busy chrono dials they'll fit the bill. Dependant on the model you'll get titanium, solar powered and atomically time adjusted as well.

My Hamilton Khaki X-Wind Chrono wears quite large; no idea of actual dimensions as it's away for repair at the moment!

Have a look at Android (manufacturer, not OS) watches.

Not sure where they're available over here, but here's the US site for the big stuff: http://www.android-usa.com/Grand-s/92.htm

I used to have a 48mm thing and it wore massively. smile
