big faced watches

[JamesNotJim]

Hey guys,

Looking for a nice large faced watch. ( very thick wrist, cant stand watches looking tiny and out of place)

Budget is about £100-£150 (Going to be a everyday work-horse) and would prefer it to have a leather strap (Or atleast not be metal)

I really like this one but the strap looks a bit naff, but the face is huge.

Anyone help out

(watch snobs need not reply!)

If you like it them go for it. That watch is enormous though !
You can pick up new straps very easily from a number of suppliers.

57mm???

The hands look a bit small compared to the face. I have a 45mm version on a 20mm Nato (strangely the 45mm faces have 20mm lugwidths). I like it although having slim wrists, it does look a bit big. Frankly, it's down to how you carry it off, I guess. If you wear it with a suit, it would look weird. Wear it with casual, loose-fitting clothing and it will look fine, I think. I saw a casual-dressed chubby lass wearing a 50+mm U-boat style watch in white yesterday. It didn't look odd on her, although it was noticeable.

WOW, 57 mm! one of mine is an Ernst Benz 47MM and that dominates the wrist!

I say if you like that one, go for it! Can't complain at the price

Have you considered strapping a kitchen clock to your wrist with some duck tape?

Too small. The biggest model is 47mm.

TW Steel are also quite 'in your face' - might be a bit above your budget though.

There's a company called In.dustry who build some very large and chunky watches.

Have a look at this Nautica beasty

Purchased on of these myself which arrived this morning.

It's a brick of a watch.... Not yet had time to check it out fully but I can answer any questions you want on this.
