when you are a real man, you wear what you want
man let him create content. wtf
@@debopamroy56 He actully agreed with him, so... Thtat's what he did.
I want 35mm watch. Unfortunately most vintage watches on eBay which attract my eyes have 30-32mm size, that the reason I search for this kind of video. 😅
To be honest there was a time when I thought a small watch just didn’t cut it. I usually go for a 40-42 mm piece. But upon acquiring and wearing my grandfathers 34mm 1960’s watch sure has changed my perspective. There’s just something very timeless and elegant about a nicely crafted small time piece.
Large watches always look gaudy to me. Gaudy is the perfect word for it because they come off as tastelessly showy. It always just seems to me that the wearer is trying too hard especially when they have a small wrist. It's the equivalent of putting a massive lift on a truck so that it no longer becomes practical to use...sure you get looks but no one is looking because they're impressed, they're looking because it stands out tastelessly.
It's the equivalent of putting a Hummer or other huge SUV on your wrist and trying to impress people with the sheer size of them. "Wow, look at how big that guy's watch is. He must be really cool, rich and important!"
I mean, come on. It's ridiculous, it's cheap (no matter if the watch costs 6 figures) and it will only impress shallow bimbos.
I am a sucker for vintage type dress watches. My favorite everyday go to probably is my 1968 Omega Constellation with a certified cal.564 chronometer movement. It's small, it's flat with a beautiful C-shape body and I get compliments on it all the time. And, above all else, after 54 years it still keeps the time exactly to +1sec/day. Now, if that's not manly then I don't know what is.
@@veganbutcherhackepeterLove the constellation
As a man who just found out he ordered a ladies watch by mistake but likes it anyway, I can agree.
Same hahahah
i just ordered a watch an orient clasic sun and moon and i didnt notice it was for ladies,but i think i'll keep it,i like it😂🙃
Same
Small watches are more elegant honestly. I agree with you completely.
Jory, I totally agree. I have a 7.6 wrist and lately I’ve begun to think that 36 mm is the ideal watch size.
Depends on the type of watch. Certain sports watches and aviator watches probably still look great as big as 42mm, but for a dress watch or casual watch a better size is probably between 35mm to 39mm. Below 35mm for men probably looks odd unless it's a vintage or the guy has very small wrists. While I've never passed on a modern watch for being too small (as the smallest are typically around 36mm), I've definitely passed on buying a modern watch I otherwise liked because I thought it was just too big. I can't bring myself to buy a dress watch bigger than 39mm, and while I'd go as big as 42mm on a divers/sports...they'd have to really have a wow factor for me personally to want to go that big.
@@salty-as-heck9915 yes, key word is depends, I'm a guy with a little more then a 6 inch wirst that likes vintage dress watches, and although I prefer a 36 I still quite like my 34 certina and I'm thinking to buy a 34 perseo (not extremely popular Italian vintage brand)
I am rocking my grandpa's 31mm date just right now with pride… still get people compliments. Oh yeah!
That's a great watch - you can be proud to own it.
You can go too big, but never too small. I’ve got a 7 1/4 wrist but my favorite wearing watch is my 40’s Elgin. 33 mm, 16mm lugs, bright sunburst dial, wears amazingly.
60mm 65mm watch who can wears !? stupid
Hi Jory, I'm a big guy and I just got a 38mm watch. Thank you for empowering us men who like girly watches.
I completely agree! I have small wrists, but even if I didn’t, I would still enjoy the 30mm range that looks so great from all the vintage options!
As always a lot of fun! Love the smaller watches. Classic style that will NEVER let you down!
Smaller watches are very classy. I have a bunch of 40 to 44 mm watches but find myself wearing my Timex Marlin 34 mm most of the time. Up until the last 15 to 20 years, smaller watches for men were the norm. I am definitely gravitating to smaller watches!
Small watches reflects traditional and classy taste of styling
Ryon gosling always wears 34mm vintage rolex. I agree it looks good for classy Suit .
Thanks. I recently inherited a Bulova 23; it is a small 30mm, but cool for its day. I rock it. Wear what you like and what is meaningful to you.
Great video Jory and actually today I have changed the watch strap on my newly purchased vintage 34mm Ingersoll watch and will quite happily be wearing it tomorrow to work. Think there is an initial shock when you first put on a smaller watch when you aren't used to it, and it does make you a little self conscious about it. But that literally lasts a few mins and I personally now am more than comfortable wearing a smaller watch than I used to be. You just have to try it.. But, like everything else its all what you feel comfortable with
Absolutely Jory. I totally agree, wear what you want. I love your smaller watches like the Tuna and G-Shock :D. Great video :)
My late mother’s Pearlmaster 29 fits my 7 inch wrist well and it’s the only thing I have in her memory.
And I wear it proudly for special events.
I like small watches however for practicality's sake as a pilot anything less than 35mm is a little too small and compromises legibility in the cockpit. The SARB033 is currently my smallest and the smallest I am willing to use for flying. For flying all my watches are 45mm or above for legibility.
I'm not pilot but I use pilot watch because it has the clearest and legible dial, questionable fashion's opinions apart.
Do you rely on your hand watch when piloting? On which occasions is it necessary? How many seconds does it save having a easily legible watch vs a less legible one?
Your eyesight is just as good inside a plane as it is outside the plane. You don’t need a special airplane watch. This isn’t the 50s it’s not like you’re using the slide rule on your navitimer to make flight calculations.
I have a 7" wrist and in my vintage collection I have a 33mm Omega and a rectangular 14K Waltham. Love'm!!
Preach. Small(er) watches are making a bit of a comeback, and I welcome it.
my grandfather left me a Vulcain Cricket alarm watch. its 34mm at best but it'll be worn by my 8" wrist forever. i love it and at this point is the best watch in my collection. I will wear what i like! haha
I have super small wrist (an SKX013 looks on the big side for me, I can still pull it off though) so small watches are the only thing I can wear.
Great video Jory. Very much agreed. 8 inch wrist here and my favorites are all 38mm and under.
got a 7" wrist but it is quite wide, I have an Omega 36mm from 1996, it looks amazing on my wrist, as the bracelet is quite small at 18mm the watch looks more of a bracelet than a proper watch and I love that. thanks dude
My wrist is 7.75in...I have watches from 33mm (1960 Rado Purple Horse) to 46mm (Breitling Heritage Superocean II)...wear them all...I am 6’1 250 lbs!!!!
Love these kind of videos man! Short, to the point, informative and funny as hell!!!
When i first got into watches 18 years ago, I was only into 44mm and up divers. I now find that I enjoy watches between 37-40mm most!
I just recently bought a watch that is 31mm. It was listed as a 35mm that's why when I first put it in my wrist I think it's too small for me. (mind you i have an really slim 6inch wrist size). But the more I look at it the more I like it.
7.25" wrist here and 34mm looks and feels perfect..
Putting my other field of interest next to watches it is uncanny how the loudness wars in music coincide nicely with watch size escalation.
A found a Sheffield all sport 5Atm skin diver watch recently. Running condition at least 40 years old, the lume even works! under 40mm I wear as my day off watch.
I wish smaller watches worked for me! I love vintage pieces but most are well under 40mm and on my 8.5" wrist and 6-2 frame they look weird on me. Add the frustration of being old enough to need reading glasses i generally cant read small watches. About 41 or so is as small as I go. my sweet spot is 44mm. I agree that there is nothing wrong with small watches if you wear them.
8.5" wrist 6 2? I'm 6 0 and 6" wrist lol. Just got a 36mm watch and am waiting for it to come in.
Man if your wrists are 8.5 than a 40mm would look like a 30mm on someone with 6 inch wrists. Those 44mm you like probably achieve the same proportions a 36mm does for smaller people.
I’ve enjoyed rocking the 35mm x 25mm Franck Muller Casablanca with a 7” wrist. Works for me; if others like different watch sizes, good for them too.
I adore small watches and I have wrist for them. But Ali, the Duke and Al lived in that era where bigger watches were rare. Today is unfortunatly different story. Keep up with great videos and congratulation for 51 k.
SciSmart India I’m sorry. That is not a watch.
Chris my method is flawed? 🤔
SciSmart India Sorry but have some respect for the channel and stop spamming.
Love your videos... always entertaining! I'm 6'5 and weight 270 pounds and my wrists are 7.75 inches. I mostly wear 40 to 42 mm watches but I love my 38mm Alpinist, 34mm Sekio 5, and my 35 mm Vintage Omega Seamaster.
thank you so much for this information from you. I recently bought a swiss military hanowa, I thought it was unisex but when i checked it out in the net, it was intended for women. I liked it anyway on my rest since I have small wrist and its light in weight
Hi, the Time Teller... I watcht this video again, again, again and again and i must (de Cartier ) say that i love your opinion that eweryone shoud wear watches they like or prefere!
I think your enthousiasme to wear any watch you like is verry authentic and makes you to an authentic and Classic watch collector👍👍👍👍
any watches under 40mm is my preference,dont like a big blingy type anchor on my wrist.
Best... John Wayne impression... Ever!
I drive a Mini Cooper, you can wear your small watches. Do what cha like!!
Shout out to fellow mini driver! While I wear my 39mm Yema Superman Heritage Blue, BTW.
I would wear any of those watches. Beautiful watches!
Thanks for the video, T3. I have watches that range from a 35mm dress watch to all the way to a 45mm pilot watch. I love a variety of watches: some high-end and low-end.
P.S. All of these influential figures are not from the current times. They wear watches during the time when small watches were popular. Maybe list a few current influential figures who wear small wrist watches?
Totally agree
40-42 is my sweet spot . I have exactly a 7" wrist .
"If I were you, I'd forget about it"😂😂
I just got a 26mm rolex datejust and I knew it was a small watch I have a super small wrist. I love it
Geezus why is this even a conversation? Just wear what you want. Watches don't make who you are. It should enhance you not define you.
Real Men™ wear whatever they want. This video is childish
I can’t take anyone rocking the diesel grand daddy 66mm seriously tho
Al Capone would be wearing a iced out day date if he was alive today, Look at the crap Mayweather wears, and John Wayne could wear a pink Cartier women's watch and still be the baddest man in the room.
You just compared Mayweather to Alphonse Capone. Let that sink in.
I wear my 33mm 18K JLC on my 7.5" wrist, such a great feeling.
Love my vintage Hamiltons..great history..America's best.
Most military issue watches trend toward the small side. Lots of badasses in that bunch.
I'm 6'8 and have 8 inch wrists.. if I wear these watches it honestly looks like I stole it off some kid playing in the park ..
😂 Good one!
Are you greater than Mohammad Ali and John Wayne ? they wear small watches . Big Ugly watches are Bad taste .
mohammad amin I just don't wear anything less than 40mm because in 'my opinion' it looks ridiculous..
Paul.w w
I would understand in your situation. Jesus Christ man... You're 7 feet tall. Yeah.. it's gonna look silly if you have a 36mm on. I'm sure a 40mm dress watch would look hella classy on your wrist.
thats why big means big in relation to your wrist rather than absolutely big
I think it depends on the shape of the watch, too - rectangular watches can have a smaller width and still look ok, and likewise small watches with relatively long lug-to-lug sizes (like the Hamilton Khaki Mechanical) can look ok despite their small width. That said, size is a matter of fashion, and like other commenters have said, the examples you used wore watches that, while small by today's standards, were just normal size in their day. I guess if enough people (or the right people) start wearing and promoting smaller watches we'll see a sea change, but as things stand today a 36mm watch on a (using myself as an example) 7.5 inch wrist looks odd or slightly comical, or "worse" (to a certain kind of insecure man), feminine. Even the 37mm Seiko 5 I'm wearing takes some getting used to after wearing 40mm+ watches, and even more so after my G-Shock GA-800.
Size is a matter of fashion, unless the watch lugs overhang,
I have fairly small wrists (6.5") and by far the biggest watch I own is 45mm (I would NEVER go larger than that with my wrists), it is a little big and I much prefer the 35-40 range. I think what is most key is finding the watch that you love and that you feel fits best with you. also, be confident enough in your style to not judge other for wearing a small watch! If they are happy be happy for them.
45mm!!!????…….😳
Sonofamutha!!!!
Im wearing a 24x38 mm tank bulova, and it looks gorgeous!
For me, 36 - max 42mm is fine, but smaller Watches are very cool 😎
I have a Victorinox Inox 37mm with black dial and red second hand , they are sold as ladies watches. I just had to get a longer (orange rubber) strap fitted . I think it looks great. In five years time fashion will have changed, big watches will be hard to sell just as sub 35 mm ones are now . Maybe then I’ll get that Omega Railmaster I cant afford today.
6.25" wrist here. One reason a Grand Seiko may be my grail watch is because of its relatively small size, 37mm. Any much larger and it looks and feels like I"m wearing a boat anchor.
I have a 7 inch wrist so no problem with 36 mm watch would love a datejust 36
Rolex needs to bring back the Prince line, and maybe a similar lime for women called Princess.
Simply put, it all boils down to - Wear what you want to! Form, Fit and Function should help us determine what to wear for the day, and have fun doing so.
I had a Swiss Army Victorinox 241443 45mm watch... I just bought a Seiko SKX013 38mm and it's way smaller! I started to wonder if it was "for me" but the more I wear it, the more it grows on me.
don't think I want to go any smaller than 32mm (just because anything smaller than that feels too fragile) other than rectangular watches (really want a gruen curvex 311)
Yoooo Jori
For me those type of watches dont work but as you say, as long as you have fun with it wear whatever you like.
Cheers man
Well I have a oris automatic wind up watch and I wear it so small watches can be for men or ladies to wear
*45mm? Hell no.*
*10mm is BEST mm.* 🤓
[i understood that reference]
I recently got a roughly 30 mm seamaster and a couple of people have said that I shouldn’t wear it. (I have around 6 and a quarter inch wrists) should I just ignore them and wear it or would it just look silly?
im a man and I have very small wrist (15cm, 6 inches) . what do you think for the black bay 32 ? is it very small ?? thanks
The Black Bay 32 should be perfect for your wrist.
Im wearing a 31mm Rado Voyager now. Makes me feel better
I have smaller wrists, I find that my Marathon Medium Quarts Diver (36mm) on an OEM Marathon 18mm stainless steel bracelet and my Seiko Sarb033 (38mm) on a rally leather strap work very nicely. I do have an SKX as well and I find it's borderline at 42mm.
I enjoy wearing smaller size watches. My small watches are the Seiko 5 which I have two of, an Orient 3 star and a Rotary watch which is a similar design to a Cartier tank watch for more formal occasions. These are the perfect size for me on my smaller size wrist but I do have several watches in the 38mm to 40mm size. with my largest being a Casio G-Shock 5610.
I gave you a like for the Duke impression. :))))
Small mens watches from 1930's were 27-30mm
Well I have a small automatic Swatch from 1995 that I wear sometimes. 36.7 mm and it feels tiny. Otherwise I prefer 40-43 mm range. Just feels more substantial on my average sized wrist.
Enjoying this video while wearing my 36mm Seiko snk357 midnight blue😍🍻
I like the feel of smaller watches on the wrist and in a way they are more comfortable but it does seem a little strange sitting next to a girl on the tube (subway) who is wearing a dazzling 42mm watch when I am wearing a 36mm Seiko 5. I just feel a bit too ‘old school’.
I really feel like you phoned that John Wayne impression in. lol
Picked up an older Seiko5 quartz at 35mm and it’s the perfect size for me
The less the more! Always will be.Nice vid.Cheers.
Larger watches (30-44mm) are my sweet spot purely because they're easier to see for older eyes (48y) .Anything smaller I can't check the time at a glance, anything bigger - tho more legible- gets hit on doors/tables etc more often & looks comically big on my 7 1/4" wrist. Wear what works for you, for whatever reasons. Love that Bubble back 😘 Cheers Jory 👍👍
The clearest and legible pilot watch dial is suitable to you.
You can add my name to the small watch wearers list. You can't beat the classics.
Fantastic video and energy!
Thoughts? Just a thought? Seems a lot of people find the orient bambino too large to be a "dress" watch. I didn't know they made the bambino in "women sizes". Along with other models that could pass as unisex???
Thoughts on men wearing "women" watches.
7.5" wrist here and the Seiko SNKs and a 40mm Sub homage I had (an Invicta, 😱❗) are what I had felt the most comfortable so far... not that my SNZG and Sea Urchin are not a good fit, those smaller cases just feel better in my wrist...
6ft tall, 7.75 inch wrists, seiko skx007 fits the bill for being the most comfortable watch I have ever worn.
Yes I can pull off bigger watches and I did get sucked in by the oversized watch fad too.
No more big watches for me, classic, proportionate, and understated works best!!!
Wearing a watch is not about compensating. It's all about enjoying a nice time piece for yourself. I like to wear my little Marathon general purpose field watch or my all white Swatch.
For me a "man's watch" is the type of watch my dad had and is the type of watch I wear everyday, not because of size, but because I'm reminded of him, of his love, of his teachings and the way he carried himself in the world with honour. He was tough, but also a gentleman and a protector of his family.
Just got a 34mm (inc crown) tudor, LOVE IT,
"Let me know what you think pilgrim"
Nailed it
I wear a citizen bm81-80 and love it
From master of g to promaster - my watch journey but I've been watch bug bite by an orient professional saturation diver now what should I do? Should I go for my first ever deep diver watch? Or just scratch the bite itch off
I have a 30mm rolex oysterdate and I love it. I have other small watches sized 34 to 38 and they fit me well cause I'm a small guy.
So maybe snk809 at 37mm will suitable for my 6.75'' wrist?
Absolutely.
I think people should rock whatever size watches they like. At the end of the day, as long as you enjoy it, who cares what other people think.
The breitling Galactic is a underdog for ppl with smaller wrists
Is 32mm good?
The biggest piece I have in my collection is the bambino
Hopefully my dumbbell exercises will widen my girly wrists.. haha :)
I wear a 40mm Lorus watch and we are pushing towards the edges here!.
A great follow up video would be modern men who wear small watches. They are making a comeback it seems.
Yup, rocking a 1956 Accumatic (Hamilton) which is 32mm. The only one in my collection that makes people talk
Lovely vid.. The powerful dudes mentioned are all from the olderrrr days tho..
I had never heard of a Rolex bubble back or Cellini until this day. I feel more cultured😂
