My 'new' 57.5 mm Zenith Monte d'Aeronef Type 20

[Mercury2wo]

The Zenith watch that caused a sensation at the SIHH 2012 was the mammoth 57.50 mm Type 20 Pilot housing the historic pocket watch movement 5011 - a 50 mm gentle giant beating at 18,000 vph.
We all know that the 5011 movement has won some 1,700 awards for chronometry out of the 2,600 odd awards won by Zenith totally and was recorded as the most accurate movement every tested by the observatory at Nauchatel!

Zenith is supposed to have found a forgotten batch of some 300 of these movements and they decided to launch their flagship Montre d' Aeronef line with this movement in 2012.

Zenith produced 250 titanium watches as Limited Edition and another small batch of 11 steel and 5 DLC watches for Retailer Zegg and Cerlati, Monaco. All of these were pre-ordered and sold out pretty soon and very few of them started surfacing in the secondary market.

I managed to nab one of the 11 Limited Edition Steel versions recently, but at 57.50 mm, wasn't sure how it would look on my 7.75 inch wrist.
I know it would be BIG and could be worn only on special occasions. But HOW BIG is BIG?

I did a few accurate mock ups first -




Got a few wrist shots from the net and Forum Members to get an idea of the size and wearability
