This is an old picture but I dug this out of the safe earlier this week. I had to attend a funeral and thought I'd wear a dressy watch with my black suit. It's still on my wrist today and has worked well with business attire too. I haven't worn this watch in so long but I am going to try to wear it a bit more now.

I'm going to have to be honest here which I know can be a rarity in some parts of Pistonheads, but I hadn't noticed I'd left my pen there like that🙃

So it looks like it wears bigger than SDDS because the dial is bigger. Rolex, it ain't 2005 anymore, nobody wants 45mm watches.

I know, 45mm was simply based on the fact that it looks like it wears bigger than deep sea which is 44.

For at least 3-4 years now.

What's "big"? 45?, 42?, 40?

36mm was a "man's watch" until quite recently

Well I prefer 42-45, so I'll just have to be unfashionable, I suppose. Anything less than 40 just looks plain stupid on me.

I'm similar, 40 is the minimum I can go to without looking like I'm wearing a girls watch. Although that depends a lot on dial. And the max is 44-45 again depending on how big the dial is (and the lug to lug of course).
