Should Rolex make a 60mm watch.

Hey, all it's missing is a blue maxi dial and a TT Oyster Bracelet

Past a certain size, it no longer qualifies as a wristwatch. Wristclock, maybe.

With that said, that is the ugliest wristclock I have ever seen.

I think the trend is basically putting a pocket watch size movement in a wristwatch case to match

Possibly the only guy on TRF who could get away with a 60 mm watch on his wrist would have to be our friend, Ragu.....with his 8½" sledge-hammer wrist!!

A la Flavor Flav of Public Enemy fame (though I don't think he wore his neck-clock on a chain).
