What would YOU consider YOUR perfect size?
...and we are talking about wrists and watches, guys!!
The human anatomy being what it is, we are all built different. Some of us prefer the smaller sizes, some prefer the very large ones. I'm really comfortable with the 40 mm size which Rolex produces in their sports range....find it just perfect for my wrist. Which size do you prefer and why? Thanks - JJ PS: Let us all desperately try and keep this one as humanely serious as possible....wishful thinking on my part??

Hmmmm. I would probably have to say in the 40 mm range. I might could go bigger but I don't know because I have never had anything bigger on my wrist.

I can't pin it down any closer than 36 mm - 42 mm. Those are the sizes I have now and I love them all. Each one is perfect for the occasion I am wearing it.
Is that serious enough for you?

It is? I think it's 40. I don't know if I have a "monster" or just a yellow dive watch. Its got a black bezel not the metal one.

Well JJ I guess that I like anything from the 40-maybe 45mm range. Since the one I have now is 41.5mm I guess I have had something bigger than 40mm on my wrist.

I prefer anything from 39mm to 47mm on me. But I'm also a big guy. As much as I LOVE Al's JLC, it would just be too small for me.

I personally don't like the dial layout near as much as mine, but some people really like it. |

For me the ideal size is 37mm, although I have watches both larger and smaller than that.
