Wear what fits your wrist. I wear 34mm-42mm (I know its a big difference). It all depends on the type of watch, how it wears, and for what occasion it is being used. Dress watches should be smaller on the wrist.
Chris, you are such a gifted young man. Not only you articulate so well, but at your early 20s, you are able to understand what the great things in life are all about. Keep it up man!
Average guys channel As an 18 year old, my first Swiss watch, 36mm Seamaster 300m quartz bond watch was the epitome of masculinity. Fast forward, now I’m aged 36 it looks tiny and almost feminine on my wrist. Since that first watch, I’ve bought watches which have been bigger in case size progressively to the point where my 48mm Breitling Super Avenger, from my perspective seems to be the norm in terms of so called man size.
I learned to dislike large watches as a kid, because large watches always got in the way when working and prevented my hand from getting in tight places. So after I wore smaller watches (sub 40mm, thin) larger watches seemed pointless unless eyesight was an issue.
Masculinity has changed. I'm 32 and my grandfathers (maternal and paternal) and father all have / wore circa 35mm watches on thin straps. My Grandfathers did UK national service or fort in WW2. They didn't need a symbol to be masculine. Same for my father and his generation was Sly Stallone and Arnie. They got muscular but again didn't need the watch. They had manual masculine jobs that didn't need a symbol My generation want instant status. Use steroids, by big watches and cars on credit. All for the insta' likes... Some over-generalisations but times have changed and so has masculine image and public perception.
I get and share your general mindset, but there are too many false claims you make. At least Arnie wore pretty large watches in 80's movies like Commando and Predator, etc. Both wore even larger watches in real life. Both Arnie and Sly were on a helluva lot steroids.
@@otobotrecords I did think after posting they weren't the best example. I guess my point was my father's generation had the muscle bound masculinity role models. They then trained to achieve the same and laboured for work. Sans steroids, they didn't need material possessions to make them masculine.
@@Chris-es3wf sorry boss. But I don't think highlighting a change in sociology over the last 100years as hate. Socialism is on the decline and masculinity is on the decline. Narcocism is on the rise. Plus my own family don't listen to me, so I doubt any poor TH-cam comment reader is going to be swayed by me.
A 34-39mm watch is the perfect size for me. Some of my 'vintage' pieces, including a couple of Caravels and a JLC Tripledate, are way smaller than most of the watches in my collection, but they are some of the most comfortable. I don't want to lug around a giant watch all day. CH. Ward offers some of their pieces in 2 sizes, 42mm and say, a 39 or 38.5mm. I went with the 38 because, for me, the smaller size is perfect for me. Another great video. Cheers!
Weightlifter here with 7.25” wrist and have no issues wearing a 36-38mm. As for Blue Label, garbage considering what you can get for 1/3 to 1/2 the price. Lagavulin, Ardbeg, and Talisker👍🏼
voxer99 I agree that blue label is vastly overpriced, but still it’s just a mediocre blended scotch. IMO only blended scotch that is worth $100 or slightly over is compass box stuff. They source some great whiskeys and blend an amazing product.
Max Power actually no since they discussed ppl who are buying blue label just bc it’s blue label. Obviously I don’t buy it, just providing better alternatives of much much cheaper stuff that some people may not have heard of. But nice observation there😏
I fell into the trend where I bought a 50mm tw steel automatic watch in rose gold. Now I only have watches from 36mm to 44mm with 7 1/2 in wrists. I only wear my tw steel to the gym and hope it breaks sooner than later.
Finally brought out and started to wear my dad's Rolex Datejust. It's 36mm. Feels great on the wrist. I think I've been missing out. Dad's still teaching me a thing or two.
I wear what I like it’s that simple. From a 39mm transocean to 48mm superavenger. My collection consist of 39,41,43,44,45,48 it’s all about preference .Also, everything has changed in regards to size . From cars to action figures it’s the sad American way.
Thank you for mentioning Anthony Bourdain 💛 His name should never be forgotten. By the way Gordon Ramsey wears 37mm Breitling with yellow dial most of the time.
I appreciate the motivating words. I’m a woman who recently found a love for watches and in trying to learn more about them I started making my own videos. The hate is clear in some people who think that a certain watch is geared for a man or a woman. Thanks for the videos. Bergen County out.
Smaller watches are most certainly reemerging as a signature of style and understanding of their significance in the watch community . Over the last couple of years I have purchased a vintage Cartier Tank Vermeil, Nomos Club 36 and Hamilton Khaki mechanical which have all become favorites in terms of wearability, comfort and style. I have grown to favor these pieces over my larger and seemingly more prominent Rolex sport watches. My next purchase will be an Oyster date 36mm. I would encourage anyone on the fence about wearing smaller watches to give one a try. After a few days on the wrist you’ll wonder why you’ve been wearing 40+mm watches. Thank you for creating awareness and understanding of smaller watches. Size does matter only when discussing the heft and girth of ones brain 🧠
My collection started in the large watch sizes, it was all I knew at the time and was never introduced to anything else. Over the years I gradually went down in size, and even looking at the past for me ... doesn't attract me as it once did. The smallest I've gone is 40mm, and I'm perfectly fine and happy with that. As I've said before I know what looks good on my wrist big and small ... well big by other people's beliefs.
Great subject. I am 47 years old, so closer to your dads age. I gravitate towards 35-40mm watches. The monster sizes never appealed to me, and you can find more bargains in the midsize range.
Feng Huang squaaale is good swiss maker. But i would say that $4000 fishy pussy is way more suitable on the straps. I just need a 20/18 tapered strap made.
ah the Dagaz Phishy Pussy... a must-have for a real gentleman's phist. It is best accompanied, ala Schwarzkopf, with the Dagaz Crapolina on the other wrist. Its all-black hands compliment the black dial and it helps keeping those plebeian peeping toms from knowing the time on your wrist. Because of that, time-reading has become more exclusive, like being a true member of aristocracy. Pure class, indeed.
I have a 7" wrist and I wear 22mm to 36.5mm diameter size watches. I don't quite understand why people think they are "too small". Its been only recently where large watches have become the in thing. Men have been wearing smaller (normal sized) watches for way longer than they have been wearing 38mm+ units. Yes, tool watches where visibility is of highest importance do need to be larger but that is beside the point but that is beside my point. 28mm round Lord Elgins were normal for even large men in the '50s and today you are shunned for considering touching anything below 40mm. May somebody please enlighten me on this? Thanks
Sean James You know I read your comment and you and I have the same wrist size. I really can't imagine wearing anything under 36. I try to stay 36 - 42. Another important factor is lug to lug which I try to keep around 48 no more. The 34s Christian wears I think look great on him but I just can't see myself wearing it. I dunno nothing against you or him and who knows my taste may change with time.
I remember in 1997 when I bought my Omega Seamster professional (James Bond) I thought to myself, "geeze, this thing is huge!!" But I now find myself enjoying a bigger case size, my favorite being 40-42mm. For one, my eyes, being on the high end of my 40s, aren't getting any better, and for another, I can appreciate the beauty of a piece when it is large and I can easily see every facet of it. I love vintage pieces, so old Speedmasters and Heuers fill the 42mm niche for me. Another phenomenal production, Christian.
There is a healthy middle ground in this debate and your dad is wearing it. I'm not a fan of big watches but I also don't want to wear a 34mm watch. I think 38-42mm is the sweet spot for me with 40mm being the "perfect" size if there is such a thing. I rotate between a Speedmaster and a Submariner (Ceramic "No-Date").
I just don't like the way small watches look on my 19cm (7 and a half inch) wrist, there are a couple 42mm that already look way too small, there are on the other hand a few 40mm that look OK, if it looks good I don't care if it's 50mm, 42mm or 36mm I'll wear it no problem, but I need to look good to me.
I really enjoy seeing you and your father on these videos! You guys seem to have the best relationship, and that is great! I have a 6.25” wrist and have to say I totally agree with most of your points. It’s hard for a guy with twigs like mine to find a decent under 40mm new watch. Very thankful there are people preserving the vintage pieces as they are a lot of times all that seems to fit me correctly!
Wear a watch that fits your wrist! My watches are 36mm Datejust, 38mm 2505 Omega 40mm Submariner and 46mm Navitimer World, I use the Datejust and Submariner the most they are simply the most comfortable to wear. I am planning on flipping the 46mm Navitimer and getting a 41mm 806 vintage Navitimer it is just way to big and thick.
I agree with you Christian! With my 6.5 in wrist, I just adore watches in the 30mm range. Especially my beloved vintage Mido Multiforts that I discovered because you sold one in your shop. I am so grateful that you lead me to them!
I agree that there is nothing wrong with wearing a smaller (particularly vintage) watch, but I wonder if part of your preference isn’t due to your smaller wrist size. I am 6’ 1” and 285 lb. (fairly muscular) with an 8 ½” wrist. My favorite watch is the Rolex Oysterquartz two-tone Datejust. It is 36 mm in size, I believe, but because of the integrated bracelet it wears bigger than its dimensions. Even so, it looks just a little bit small on my wrist. Most of my other watches are in the 42-44 mm range, and they look like a little better fit. I enjoy each watch that I own for what it is.
6'2 225 here. I wear a black deepsea a few times a week. The fact that it's 44mm is irrelevant. I appreciate the technicals and I would wear it just the same if it were in a 36mm case. Wear what you want. F the unwelcome judgement. JWB.. meh. Get your hands on some Blanton's
I've definitely seen people wear too big of watches and I've seen people wear too small of watches, to the point of them not looking good on them. I never thought about it being a famine or masculine thing.
my sweet spot is 38-42mm. Outside this range is problematic on both ends. I do have a couple 36 mm pieces because I love their design, but I rarely will wear them.
When i bought my seiko which is 37mm i was a bit nervous coming from a casio gshock as a teenager and when i opened the box i saw the watch and thought"its beautiful....but its small!"however i slowly gravitated to its relatively small by todays standards an now i cant were my old gshock anymore because its too big and clunky
Great episode. 5 years ago, I would not have even looked at any watches below 40mm. I primarily wore watches that were 42mm and up. These days, I predominantly wear 37-39mm watches. Perfect, classy size range with a decent amount presence without being over the top. My 1971 King Seiko 4502-7001 Hi-Beat is just about perfect I find.
I don't know much about watches at all.but i really want a cartier tank. Even though I'm a guy, my wrists are 6.25"-ish and I am wondering if people will look down on me or think I'm an idiot if I get the tank in the small case size advertised for ladies. As someone who doesn't know anything about watch culture I wanted to ask you guys your thoughts. good idea or bad?
Don't worry I understood what you were saying! I too enjoy watches, whiskies and cigars and my friends always make comments but they are the things I enjoy. I also have a couple of 42 mm watches but I really like them and they are only made in that size. I think the perfect size is 39-40 for my wrist but why not wear what you enjoy! Salute!
With 16 cm wrist, I always prefer (and wear) smaller dial no more than 40 mm in particular. Patek Calatrava 3919J, Vacheron Oversea 49140, JLC reverso medium duoface, Rolex Sea-dweller 4000 16600, are among them. And when it comes to bigger new model, like Vacheron Oversea 49150 42 mm, its easy for me to skip them. But there’s always be an exception. For me Navitimer B01 43 mm is that one. I love it and really enjoy wearing it whatsoever. Anyway I keep the simple rule as it’s lug still not protrude beyond my wrist otherwise it would look hideous.
The other dimension nobody talks about; --Girth-- thickness. Seriously though so many automatic wristwatches are so thick they tower off the wrist. It is my personal opinion is that unless you have an 8"+ wrist, even a 42-44mm watch looks big and ostentatious. I think that most 42mm dive watches look way too big on my 7 1/4" wrist. But I have even found that a lot of 38mm watches are pushing it. I had a Seiko SARB033 that I loved and wore nearly every day and felt that it worked with just about everything. But I came to find even its 38mm diameter (and other proportions like it's height/thickness) to be less suited to my wrist size. Especially once I started picking up more vintage pieces in the 30-36mm range. I have since sold/traded all of the watches in my collection for a 2002 Tudor Prince Date 34mm and I think that it is the perfect size. I now find really anything bigger just seems almost silly looking. Like the Tudor is by no means "tiny" or minuscule. It is a giant compared to normal mens' watch sizes from the 30s-50s (or Ali's Tank). Some of those were the size of a nickel. I find the proportions of a 36mm (or preferably 34mm) Rolex/Tudor Oyster case to be imho the perfect mens watch. The ratios of dial:bezel:lugs is very pleasing. And the way the lugs waterfall down to a point, and the profile of the case and lugs from the side, the way it seems like the lugs just extrude out of the centre section of the case. The way the case back is designed as well allows it to disappear and gives the centre section of the case the appearance of sitting flush on the wrist, which allows the bezel and crystal sitting proud on top of the case to not appear towering or overly protruding. That is one of my biggest issues with 38-42mm watch cases; the thickness makes the watch appear to be standing up off of the wrist. And if not designed right, even 10mm can appear to stand up off the wrist -like in the case of my SARB033. Its 11mm thickness, while only one mm thicker than the Tudor Prince appeared to stand off of my wrist much more, I think due to the caseback design and the way the curve of it came tangent right to the edges of the case. Whereas the Oyster case design has more of a flat flange around the outside of the caseback about 4mm wide, and doesn't actually add to the overall thickness around the outside where it meets the case. The thicker part of the caseback is only 25mm in diameter, and so it kind of disappears under the watch. This all adds up to the whole watch appearing to only be as thick as the centre portion of the case and lugs, plus bezel and crystal. The caseback does add about 4mm to the overall thickness, but it doesn't seem to on wrist, thus giving the watch a perceived thickness of more like 6mm, since the ~2mm of the crystal doesn't really add to the perceived thickness either.
JW Gold is a solid blend , especially if it's a gift. Ardbeg or Laphroaig are great but definitely acquired taste. I agree small watches, big whiskey.....
Wear whatever watch size you like. Around 99% of people won't even notice or care about your watch. Personally, I love 35mm to 42mm. For dress watches, I prefer 35-39mm, and sports watches I prefer 40-42mm.
I have 50 mm Invicta not to wear but display in my home with a vintage dive helmet... big watches are hard to wear unless you are quite large yourself Btw...I love Blue Label.... very smooth
There is a reason why we, at least for me, have a certain affinity to smaller, vintage watches. I own several cheap watches from Elgin’s, Gruen, Tags to Seikos. My diver is a 40mm. However the rest are 38s,36s, 34s, and my smallest is about 32s. I like smaller watches because I am an average joe with average size wrist. But most of all, I like smaller vintage watches because of what they represent to me. To me they represent that classic golden era of yesteryear when men were men. I guess you can say I am an old soul. But I wish I had experience the time of my grandfather when a handshake meant more than anything and men genuinely carry themselves as such. My grandfather is gone. Those golden years are gone. But the watches are still here and that is why I can’t help but drawn into an old display case in some antique store containing a beat up Elgin or Gruen waiting to be shaken and revive. It gives me good pleasure to hear them come alive giving off that “tik tik tik” sound as the second hand makes its round on that faded dial. These Sixty, seventy, eighty years old watches, (just like my grandfather who was simple, small to average size) are watches that have character, stories, style, class and are windows of historical memories. We all, in our own small ways can bring back not the time gone, but the essence of it. Do not be a snob. Rescue and wear a beat up Elgin, by doing so you will make the Vintage Watch Gods happy.
For those who wanted to know, the little black blurb of text at the start was: “imagine if you had a office right down the river, right next to a old timer saloon waiting for a half drunk, incredibly angry Johnny Dept.”
I understand perfectly. Suntory Japanese Whiskey use to be unknown in the states. That's all changed the moment they purchased Jim Beam started to use the same distribution channel. But that goes to prove that PR does not always equal to quality.
I’ve never been to a watch convention etc. But in those scenarios are most serious watch collectors wearing large watches? For example- 41mm+ or over-sized for their wrists? I wonder what the ratio is between serious collectors who wear 40mm and down as opposed to serious collectors who wear 41mm+?
I’d love to see you make a video on that! It would be interesting to see who does and what their reasoning is. And if the trend is finally moving away from large watches and back to smaller watches.
Single Malt FTW! But seriously, I'm known in my circle of family and friends as someone who enjoys whiskey, and I'm constantly being asked what the best whiskey is. My answer is always the same: the best whiskey (or whisky) in the world is the cheapest one that you enjoy drinking.
Hoping to buy my first vintage watch for my 18th and you have convinced on going for a 35mm instead of my friends saying that 38mm for guys is the smallest you can go
My favorite brand Orient watches , they only make 40 and up . I can only wear 38 below otherwise 40 is too big . Will the trend ever go back ? Watches will be 37 , 38 or 39 as normal .
guy, i'm into cigars probably more then your into watches, lol i've always liked luxury watches and my family, meaning my cousins and 2nd cousins and my immediate family always owned luxury watches it's something in our culture that we do, our family gives us like a rolex for example at a very young age. but like i said, i've always liked watches, but these last 3 or 4 years it became a obsession, and when i get into something i kinda turn into rain man and spazz out lol, i tend to over do things when i get into a hobby lol, so for me it was AVIATION,GUITARS,CIGARS,SPIRITS & WINE, and now watches. crowned head cigars are really good not all their blends but most of them are really good, i smoked crowned heads before they was released, i was wondering what cigar you was smoking as soon as i clicked on your video and seen your cigar lol
I have never drank a blended whiskey. I drink single malt in the mid to low price range. I am a very big guy; 6'4", 320lbs. I don't feel comfortable with a watch over 43mm, but I would be willing to try a Panerai Luminor Marina.
I have 40,41,42 mm watches but on my 7.25” wrist and 6ft 145 frame, I love the look of my 28-36mm watches. My 36mm hublot is my go to sport watch and my 26mm Cartier is my go to dress watch.
First, I don't care what people say about my choices of watches. My father left me a vintage Radiant 34 mm quartz watch that I wear all the time with pride and I'm a big guy 6'3 with a 7 3/4 inch wrist. I also wear my 35 mm 1969 Omega De Ville 166033 very often. Sometimes you just have to live your life no worrying about other people's opinions.
When someone is wearing Jacob & Co Astronomia, you can tell they're trying to flex. There's not much to flex with Panerai or Breitling. For big boys you're better off with g-shock. And I can't tell if person is trying to flex anything having a big watch, maybe he just can't afford a small one, or it's his grandfather gift.
Thanks for this. I've always preferred smaller watches. I wore a 34mm Skagen on an 18mm mesh bracelet for over a decade. I bought it before I knew anything about watches or what is considered fashionable or respectable and just got it because I thought it looked nice. I got so many positive comments on that watch. Not once did anyone tell me they thought it was too small. My wrist is right at 7 inches. More recently I got into watch geekery on youtube and reddit and such while I searched for what would replace it since it was no longer wearable. Since then I picked up a square G-Shock, which is big but well proportioned, a 35mm Timex Easy Reader, and a SARB033 which I'm completely in love with. Recently I started feeling like the Timex at 35mm with an 18mm leather strap probably looked too much like a kids watch and was too small for me and I need to replace it with something bigger. Thing is, I really like the design, the simple case and strap, the typefaces, the fact that it has day/date, and it fits in perfectly in my lineup as my IDGAF watch to wear on weekends with shorts and flip flops. Literally the only reason I feel like replacing it is its size. Not that replacing my cheap casual Timex is any kind of hardship, but I wonder if maybe I just need to stop looking at other people's watches for a while and see if I still want to replace it after that. On whisky... Johnnie Blue is decent for a blend, but nowhere near worth the ridiculous prices they charge for it. Get a bottle of Bunnahabhain or Springbank instead and find out what heaven tastes like.
“like a jerk” so awesome. I totally agree and there is a false wealth perception that exists. Such bs, wear what you like and can afford. If I’m worried if the next guy recognizes what I’m wearing and what he thinks....I’m done.
Wear what you like. If you are worried, or think that the size of your watch makes you more feminine or masculine, you have a lot bigger problems than the size of your watch.
The opposite of what you said at 12:00 is true too. If you wear smaller watches to look cool in the eye of the watch enthusiasts community and fit into this group, or to show that you bought a very expensive vintage piece, you're trying too hard too. Even on my 6 inch wrist, I think something smaller than 36 mm is too small - just because I happen to love more modern watches and that I'm used to wearing 40 mm watches. Do I look like I'm trying too hard when I wear these? You tell me, but honestly, I don't care :) I don't want to wear smaller watches that I don't like just because they look more proportionate, more respectable or supposedly "manlier". Now let me shoot a video about this! Keep it up! Cheers
I don't have a big wrist, but wear 40-45mm, except my Casio MT-G which is obviously huge. 39 and under just look ridiculously small and funny. Tho anyone is welcome to wear whatever he wants.
Some years ago cars had 30 horses now cars have 500 horses, the same happens with watches, you have to evolve, now watches for men are 42mm or more. That is the reality
A simple explanation for our age group (25-50y/o) buying or patronizing 40mm and above watches would be simple: As we grow older we might have huge wrists and our body type would be bigger, might as well purchase a bigger sized watch now than regret it in the future.
Man, some of the comments on here are absolutely ridiculous. It just shows who the actual pretentious self-focused jealous people are. Get a grip and go post elsewhere. This kid is doing a fantastic job at what he does. If you don't like it, beat it. Literally. Another point they make here which is much needed in this world is the only competition in life is yourself, not others.
Hey, I like the discussion. Very interesting. Just a small command, let you colleague also talk a little bit. Let the discussion flow a little bit. I like you Videos, it just gives a total different view to things that people doing currently.
It should reflect your personality. If you think a watch fits your wrist, you love it, then you should buy it. I would ask the ladies, what they think is masculine. In regards of behaviour, character, clothes, watches, accessories. I don‘t about the term at all. Except protecting your family, taking care of them, be a good person.
I am a 6'3" man who works out and I am a muscular 290 lbs. I have 8.25 inch wrists but I wear watches as small as 35mm to as large as 46 mm. I am comfortable with my masculinity and a watch is just a piece of jewelry to me and I wear what I like.
Very interesting discussion. Personally, I wear watches that are proportional to my large arms/wrist/hands. I think its all relative to your stature. A 36mm on Theo could equate to 47mm on me. With that said, I do think there are watches out there that are just too big for any wrist. I wear 46 - 50mm which actually looks normal on me. To each their own in my humble opinion.
Also with professions ...people do MBA’s law school , medicine < PHD cause of a serious pursuit of education and profession they love, others to show it all on their sleeve
I’m 50. So well said from both Roly and you Christian. Keep up the excellent content. By the way I wear a 39mm Explorer one 214270. Perfect size for my 7.2 inch wrist. It’s not about size that makes a watch excellent for me. Cheers
Wear what fits your wrist. I wear 34mm-42mm (I know its a big difference). It all depends on the type of watch, how it wears, and for what occasion it is being used. Dress watches should be smaller on the wrist.
People should wear whatever size watch they enjoy for whatever reasons they enjoy it.
AGREED!! thanks for watching!
uuuuuhhhhh we have a millenial here!!!!
yes! and I wear a 40mm stainless steel watch cause I like it even though I'm a female
Chris, you are such a gifted young man. Not only you articulate so well, but at your early 20s, you are able to understand what the great things in life are all about. Keep it up man!
Thank you so much Andre!!!!!
Remember when 36 was masculine?? I hate huge watches
hahaha I wasn't born! But I remember the movies
Average guys channel As an 18 year old, my first Swiss watch, 36mm Seamaster 300m quartz bond watch was the epitome of masculinity. Fast forward, now I’m aged 36 it looks tiny and almost feminine on my wrist. Since that first watch, I’ve bought watches which have been bigger in case size progressively to the point where my 48mm Breitling Super Avenger, from my perspective seems to be the norm in terms of so called man size.
I learned to dislike large watches as a kid, because large watches always got in the way when working and prevented my hand from getting in tight places. So after I wore smaller watches (sub 40mm, thin) larger watches seemed pointless unless eyesight was an issue.
@@andrethomas7075 Are you serious?
I totally agree with y'alls' point trying to be more "manly". Just like those folks driving huge pickups like they own the road.
Masculinity has changed.
I'm 32 and my grandfathers (maternal and paternal) and father all have / wore circa 35mm watches on thin straps.
My Grandfathers did UK national service or fort in WW2. They didn't need a symbol to be masculine.
Same for my father and his generation was Sly Stallone and Arnie. They got muscular but again didn't need the watch. They had manual masculine jobs that didn't need a symbol
My generation want instant status. Use steroids, by big watches and cars on credit. All for the insta' likes...
Some over-generalisations but times have changed and so has masculine image and public perception.
I get and share your general mindset, but there are too many false claims you make. At least Arnie wore pretty large watches in 80's movies like Commando and Predator, etc. Both wore even larger watches in real life. Both Arnie and Sly were on a helluva lot steroids.
@@otobotrecords I did think after posting they weren't the best example.
I guess my point was my father's generation had the muscle bound masculinity role models. They then trained to achieve the same and laboured for work. Sans steroids, they didn't need material possessions to make them masculine.
I can't argue with that. It's true.
You don't describe "your generation". You describe human nature. Every generation is guilty of that nonsense. Quit hatemongering.
@@Chris-es3wf sorry boss.
But I don't think highlighting a change in sociology over the last 100years as hate.
Socialism is on the decline and masculinity is on the decline. Narcocism is on the rise.
Plus my own family don't listen to me, so I doubt any poor TH-cam comment reader is going to be swayed by me.
A 34-39mm watch is the perfect size for me. Some of my 'vintage' pieces, including a couple of Caravels and a JLC Tripledate, are way smaller than most of the watches in my collection, but they are some of the most comfortable. I don't want to lug around a giant watch all day. CH. Ward offers some of their pieces in 2 sizes, 42mm and say, a 39 or 38.5mm. I went with the 38 because, for me, the smaller size is perfect for me. Another great video. Cheers!
thank you man!!!
Weightlifter here with 7.25” wrist and have no issues wearing a 36-38mm.
As for Blue Label, garbage considering what you can get for 1/3 to 1/2 the price. Lagavulin, Ardbeg, and Talisker👍🏼
I think Blue Label is a nice Scotch, just vastly overpriced. Personally, I think Black Label is just as good and much cheaper.
voxer99 I agree that blue label is vastly overpriced, but still it’s just a mediocre blended scotch. IMO only blended scotch that is worth $100 or slightly over is compass box stuff. They source some great whiskeys and blend an amazing product.
You want a cookie? You commenting as you did puts you in the category they are chastising in this video lol.
Max Power actually no since they discussed ppl who are buying blue label just bc it’s blue label. Obviously I don’t buy it, just providing better alternatives of much much cheaper stuff that some people may not have heard of. But nice observation there😏
“When items of great size and money are no longer enjoyed for what they are but what they represent” pure class
I fell into the trend where I bought a 50mm tw steel automatic watch in rose gold. Now I only have watches from 36mm to 44mm with 7 1/2 in wrists. I only wear my tw steel to the gym and hope it breaks sooner than later.
Your Friday evening show is the perfect start into the weekend!
so glad you enjoy!!!
it is our pleasure!! hope you enjoyed the weekend
Finally brought out and started to wear my dad's Rolex Datejust. It's 36mm. Feels great on the wrist. I think I've been missing out. Dad's still teaching me a thing or two.
Hahahaha, that is awesome!!!
I wear what I like it’s that simple. From a 39mm transocean to 48mm superavenger. My collection consist of 39,41,43,44,45,48 it’s all about preference .Also, everything has changed in regards to size . From cars to action figures it’s the sad American way.
Thank you for mentioning Anthony Bourdain 💛 His name should never be forgotten. By the way Gordon Ramsey wears 37mm Breitling with yellow dial most of the time.
I appreciate the motivating words. I’m a woman who recently found a love for watches and in trying to learn more about them I started making my own videos. The hate is clear in some people who think that a certain watch is geared for a man or a woman. Thanks for the videos. Bergen County out.
Smaller watches are most certainly reemerging as a signature of style and understanding of their significance in the watch community . Over the last couple of years I have purchased a vintage Cartier Tank Vermeil, Nomos Club 36 and Hamilton Khaki mechanical which have all become favorites in terms of wearability, comfort and style. I have grown to favor these pieces over my larger and seemingly more prominent Rolex sport watches. My next purchase will be an Oyster date 36mm. I would encourage anyone on the fence about wearing smaller watches to give one a try. After a few days on the wrist you’ll wonder why you’ve been wearing 40+mm watches. Thank you for creating awareness and understanding of smaller watches. Size does matter only when discussing the heft and girth of ones brain 🧠
I started my watch collection 4 months ago. I think it's safe to say I will never wear anything over 40mm.
wear what you love!!
Agree, wear what you love and live in a moment 💛
My collection started in the large watch sizes, it was all I knew at the time and was never introduced to anything else. Over the years I gradually went down in size, and even looking at the past for me ... doesn't attract me as it once did. The smallest I've gone is 40mm, and I'm perfectly fine and happy with that. As I've said before I know what looks good on my wrist big and small ... well big by other people's beliefs.
Great subject.
I am 47 years old, so closer to your dads age. I gravitate towards 35-40mm watches. The monster sizes never appealed to me, and you can find more bargains in the midsize range.
agreed!!!
Just like people spending 348 dollars for a Theo and Harris watch strap so they can go around flashing.
@@vincentong4852 Or maybe, just maybe Christian is a really really good salesman 😉
Monkey for mind NY & T&H terms and conditions applied. NY 40% tax incurred.
those straps go well with a Squale Lion-Shark. Pure class
Feng Huang squaaale is good swiss maker. But i would say that $4000 fishy pussy is way more suitable on the straps. I just need a 20/18 tapered strap made.
ah the Dagaz Phishy Pussy... a must-have for a real gentleman's phist. It is best accompanied, ala Schwarzkopf, with the Dagaz Crapolina on the other wrist. Its all-black hands compliment the black dial and it helps keeping those plebeian peeping toms from knowing the time on your wrist. Because of that, time-reading has become more exclusive, like being a true member of aristocracy. Pure class, indeed.
I have a 7" wrist and I wear 22mm to 36.5mm diameter size watches. I don't quite understand why people think they are "too small". Its been only recently where large watches have become the in thing. Men have been wearing smaller (normal sized) watches for way longer than they have been wearing 38mm+ units.
Yes, tool watches where visibility is of highest importance do need to be larger but that is beside the point but that is beside my point.
28mm round Lord Elgins were normal for even large men in the '50s and today you are shunned for considering touching anything below 40mm.
May somebody please enlighten me on this? Thanks
Sean James You know I read your comment and you and I have the same wrist size. I really can't imagine wearing anything under 36. I try to stay 36 - 42. Another important factor is lug to lug which I try to keep around 48 no more. The 34s Christian wears I think look great on him but I just can't see myself wearing it. I dunno nothing against you or him and who knows my taste may change with time.
You have a 7 inch wrist,my wrist is 6.3. Dude you should wear atleast 40mm, you have manly wrist why waste it by wearing a small watch.
I remember in 1997 when I bought my Omega Seamster professional (James Bond) I thought to myself, "geeze, this thing is huge!!" But I now find myself enjoying a bigger case size, my favorite being 40-42mm. For one, my eyes, being on the high end of my 40s, aren't getting any better, and for another, I can appreciate the beauty of a piece when it is large and I can easily see every facet of it. I love vintage pieces, so old Speedmasters and Heuers fill the 42mm niche for me. Another phenomenal production, Christian.
thank ;y;ou so much for watching man!!
There is a healthy middle ground in this debate and your dad is wearing it. I'm not a fan of big watches but I also don't want to wear a 34mm watch. I think 38-42mm is the sweet spot for me with 40mm being the "perfect" size if there is such a thing.
I rotate between a Speedmaster and a Submariner (Ceramic "No-Date").
beautiful, thanks for watching!!!
For around $1000 what watch do you recommend for a big guy?
I just don't like the way small watches look on my 19cm (7 and a half inch) wrist, there are a couple 42mm that already look way too small, there are on the other hand a few 40mm that look OK, if it looks good I don't care if it's 50mm, 42mm or 36mm I'll wear it no problem, but I need to look good to me.
I really enjoy seeing you and your father on these videos! You guys seem to have the best relationship, and that is great! I have a 6.25” wrist and have to say I totally agree with most of your points. It’s hard for a guy with twigs like mine to find a decent under 40mm new watch. Very thankful there are people preserving the vintage pieces as they are a lot of times all that seems to fit me correctly!
Look around you can find some new watches in 38mm.
thank you very much, i think i'll keep him!!!
Christopher Fieweger Explorer l, Pam 512 or Date Justs are good candidates
It’s really cool when dad and son talking about their hobby while drinking whiskey and smoking a cigar 💛
Wear a watch that fits your wrist! My watches are 36mm Datejust, 38mm 2505 Omega 40mm Submariner and 46mm Navitimer World, I use the Datejust and Submariner the most they are simply the most comfortable to wear. I am planning on flipping the 46mm Navitimer and getting a 41mm 806 vintage Navitimer it is just way to big and thick.
Very interesting conversation, thank you!
I agree with you Christian! With my 6.5 in wrist, I just adore watches in the 30mm range. Especially my beloved vintage Mido Multiforts that I discovered because you sold one in your shop. I am so grateful that you lead me to them!
my pleasure, thanks for watching!!!
I agree that there is nothing wrong with wearing a smaller (particularly vintage) watch, but I wonder if part of your preference isn’t due to your smaller wrist size. I am 6’ 1” and 285 lb. (fairly muscular) with an 8 ½” wrist. My favorite watch is the Rolex Oysterquartz two-tone Datejust. It is 36 mm in size, I believe, but because of the integrated bracelet it wears bigger than its dimensions. Even so, it looks just a little bit small on my wrist. Most of my other watches are in the 42-44 mm range, and they look like a little better fit. I enjoy each watch that I own for what it is.
Christian is a 60 year old in a 20 something's body.
thats's what my mom always says!!
and what a hot 20 something you are
its like he is olding 0,1 speed
No need to ash the stogie, when its ready, its ready.
6'2 225 here. I wear a black deepsea a few times a week. The fact that it's 44mm is irrelevant. I appreciate the technicals and I would wear it just the same if it were in a 36mm case. Wear what you want. F the unwelcome judgement.
JWB.. meh. Get your hands on some Blanton's
I've definitely seen people wear too big of watches and I've seen people wear too small of watches, to the point of them not looking good on them. I never thought about it being a famine or masculine thing.
cool, thanks for watching!!
my sweet spot is 38-42mm. Outside this range is problematic on both ends. I do have a couple 36 mm pieces because I love their design, but I rarely will wear them.
When i bought my seiko which is 37mm i was a bit nervous coming from a casio gshock as a teenager and when i opened the box i saw the watch and thought"its beautiful....but its small!"however i slowly gravitated to its relatively small by todays standards an now i cant were my old gshock anymore because its too big and clunky
its all about what you like. Thanks for watching!
Great episode. 5 years ago, I would not have even looked at any watches below 40mm. I primarily wore watches that were 42mm and up. These days, I predominantly wear 37-39mm watches. Perfect, classy size range with a decent amount presence without being over the top. My 1971 King Seiko 4502-7001 Hi-Beat is just about perfect I find.
I don't know much about watches at all.but i really want a cartier tank. Even though I'm a guy, my wrists are 6.25"-ish and I am wondering if people will look down on me or think I'm an idiot if I get the tank in the small case size advertised for ladies. As someone who doesn't know anything about watch culture I wanted to ask you guys your thoughts. good idea or bad?
Don't worry I understood what you were saying! I too enjoy watches, whiskies and cigars and my friends always make comments but they are the things I enjoy. I also have a couple of 42 mm watches but I really like them and they are only made in that size. I think the perfect size is 39-40 for my wrist but why not wear what you enjoy! Salute!
salute, to you too, thanks for watching!!!
With 16 cm wrist, I always prefer (and wear) smaller dial no more than 40 mm in particular. Patek Calatrava 3919J, Vacheron Oversea 49140, JLC reverso medium duoface, Rolex Sea-dweller 4000 16600, are among them. And when it comes to bigger new model, like Vacheron Oversea 49150 42 mm, its easy for me to skip them.
But there’s always be an exception. For me
Navitimer B01 43 mm is that one. I love it and really enjoy wearing it whatsoever. Anyway I keep the simple rule as it’s lug still not protrude beyond my wrist otherwise it would look hideous.
The other dimension nobody talks about; --Girth-- thickness. Seriously though so many automatic wristwatches are so thick they tower off the wrist. It is my personal opinion is that unless you have an 8"+ wrist, even a 42-44mm watch looks big and ostentatious. I think that most 42mm dive watches look way too big on my 7 1/4" wrist. But I have even found that a lot of 38mm watches are pushing it. I had a Seiko SARB033 that I loved and wore nearly every day and felt that it worked with just about everything. But I came to find even its 38mm diameter (and other proportions like it's height/thickness) to be less suited to my wrist size. Especially once I started picking up more vintage pieces in the 30-36mm range. I have since sold/traded all of the watches in my collection for a 2002 Tudor Prince Date 34mm and I think that it is the perfect size. I now find really anything bigger just seems almost silly looking. Like the Tudor is by no means "tiny" or minuscule. It is a giant compared to normal mens' watch sizes from the 30s-50s (or Ali's Tank). Some of those were the size of a nickel. I find the proportions of a 36mm (or preferably 34mm) Rolex/Tudor Oyster case to be imho the perfect mens watch. The ratios of dial:bezel:lugs is very pleasing. And the way the lugs waterfall down to a point, and the profile of the case and lugs from the side, the way it seems like the lugs just extrude out of the centre section of the case. The way the case back is designed as well allows it to disappear and gives the centre section of the case the appearance of sitting flush on the wrist, which allows the bezel and crystal sitting proud on top of the case to not appear towering or overly protruding. That is one of my biggest issues with 38-42mm watch cases; the thickness makes the watch appear to be standing up off of the wrist. And if not designed right, even 10mm can appear to stand up off the wrist -like in the case of my SARB033. Its 11mm thickness, while only one mm thicker than the Tudor Prince appeared to stand off of my wrist much more, I think due to the caseback design and the way the curve of it came tangent right to the edges of the case. Whereas the Oyster case design has more of a flat flange around the outside of the caseback about 4mm wide, and doesn't actually add to the overall thickness around the outside where it meets the case. The thicker part of the caseback is only 25mm in diameter, and so it kind of disappears under the watch. This all adds up to the whole watch appearing to only be as thick as the centre portion of the case and lugs, plus bezel and crystal. The caseback does add about 4mm to the overall thickness, but it doesn't seem to on wrist, thus giving the watch a perceived thickness of more like 6mm, since the ~2mm of the crystal doesn't really add to the perceived thickness either.
34-36mm 🔥. Walker is terrible though . Ardbeg or laphroaig 👍🏻. Small watches, big whisky.
JW Gold is a solid blend , especially if it's a gift. Ardbeg or Laphroaig are great but definitely acquired taste. I agree small watches, big whiskey.....
My range is also 34-36. You have excellent taste.
Laphroaig is shit
Wear whatever watch size you like. Around 99% of people won't even notice or care about your watch. Personally, I love 35mm to 42mm. For dress watches, I prefer 35-39mm, and sports watches I prefer 40-42mm.
I have 50 mm Invicta not to wear but display in my home with a vintage dive helmet... big watches are hard to wear unless you are quite large yourself
Btw...I love Blue Label.... very smooth
I’m not a big “vintage” watch guy, but I love what you bring to the watch world, especially at your age! Keep it up. Love Roley too!
much appreciated man!!!
Guy with his Invicta’s and fake Yacht Master’s...see ya, next time on triple D! 😂🤣🤣🤣
There is a reason why we, at least for me, have a certain affinity to smaller, vintage watches. I own several cheap watches from Elgin’s, Gruen, Tags to Seikos. My diver is a 40mm. However the rest are 38s,36s, 34s, and my smallest is about 32s. I like smaller watches because I am an average joe with average size wrist. But most of all, I like smaller vintage watches because of what they represent to me. To me they represent that classic golden era of yesteryear when men were men. I guess you can say I am an old soul. But I wish I had experience the time of my grandfather when a handshake meant more than anything and men genuinely carry themselves as such. My grandfather is gone. Those golden years are gone. But the watches are still here and that is why I can’t help but drawn into an old display case in some antique store containing a beat up Elgin or Gruen waiting to be shaken and revive. It gives me good pleasure to hear them come alive giving off that “tik tik tik” sound as the second hand makes its round on that faded dial. These Sixty, seventy, eighty years old watches, (just like my grandfather who was simple, small to average size) are watches that have character, stories, style, class and are windows of historical memories. We all, in our own small ways can bring back not the time gone, but the essence of it. Do not be a snob. Rescue and wear a beat up Elgin, by doing so you will make the Vintage Watch Gods happy.
This is the most genuine commentary on consumption I have ever heard
For those who wanted to know, the little black blurb of text at the start was: “imagine if you had a office right down the river, right next to a old timer saloon waiting for a half drunk, incredibly angry Johnny Dept.”
I understand perfectly. Suntory Japanese Whiskey use to be unknown in the states. That's all changed the moment they purchased Jim Beam started to use the same distribution channel. But that goes to prove that PR does not always equal to quality.
I’ve never been to a watch convention etc. But in those scenarios are most serious watch collectors wearing large watches? For example- 41mm+ or over-sized for their wrists?
I wonder what the ratio is between serious collectors who wear 40mm and down as opposed to serious collectors who wear 41mm+?
Great question! And its more on the small side but there are some super collectible large watches!!
I’d love to see you make a video on that!
It would be interesting to see who does and what their reasoning is.
And if the trend is finally moving away from large watches and back to smaller watches.
Does anyone remember which Cartier model Rolli has?
it's just an oversized model from the 70's. Thanks for watching!!!
"Class", does not shout for attention, but withstands scrutiny !
Wearing a 34mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual 15200 silver dial and loving it.
Single Malt FTW! But seriously, I'm known in my circle of family and friends as someone who enjoys whiskey, and I'm constantly being asked what the best whiskey is. My answer is always the same: the best whiskey (or whisky) in the world is the cheapest one that you enjoy drinking.
Hahahaha my thoughts exactly!!!
I think the Rolex Day Date 36 and 40mm are perfect.
Hoping to buy my first vintage watch for my 18th and you have convinced on going for a 35mm instead of my friends saying that 38mm for guys is the smallest you can go
My favorite brand Orient watches , they only make 40 and up . I can only wear 38 below otherwise 40 is too big . Will the trend ever go back ? Watches will be 37 , 38 or 39 as normal .
did you think you would ever be interested in vintage watches??? I say yes
guy, i'm into cigars probably more then your into watches, lol i've always liked luxury watches and my family, meaning my cousins and 2nd cousins and my immediate family always owned luxury watches it's something in our culture that we do, our family gives us like a rolex for example at a very young age. but like i said, i've always liked watches, but these last 3 or 4 years it became a obsession, and when i get into something i kinda turn into rain man and spazz out lol, i tend to over do things when i get into a hobby lol, so for me it was AVIATION,GUITARS,CIGARS,SPIRITS & WINE, and now watches. crowned head cigars are really good not all their blends but most of them are really good, i smoked crowned heads before they was released, i was wondering what cigar you was smoking as soon as i clicked on your video and seen your cigar lol
I have never drank a blended whiskey. I drink single malt in the mid to low price range. I am a very big guy; 6'4", 320lbs. I don't feel comfortable with a watch over 43mm, but I would be willing to try a Panerai Luminor Marina.
thanks for watching!!!
I wear a vintage top time at 34mm and a Panerai 312 at 44mm. Wear what you love.
agree!!!!
I have 40,41,42 mm watches but on my 7.25” wrist and 6ft 145 frame, I love the look of my 28-36mm watches. My 36mm hublot is my go to sport watch and my 26mm Cartier is my go to dress watch.
what about people who get replica watches?
not a big fan, to each his/her own
First, I don't care what people say about my choices of watches. My father left me a vintage Radiant 34 mm quartz watch that I wear all the time with pride and I'm a big guy 6'3 with a 7 3/4 inch wrist. I also wear my 35 mm 1969 Omega De Ville 166033 very often. Sometimes you just have to live your life no worrying about other people's opinions.
When someone is wearing Jacob & Co Astronomia, you can tell they're trying to flex. There's not much to flex with Panerai or Breitling. For big boys you're better off with g-shock. And I can't tell if person is trying to flex anything having a big watch, maybe he just can't afford a small one, or it's his grandfather gift.
Thanks for this. I've always preferred smaller watches. I wore a 34mm Skagen on an 18mm mesh bracelet for over a decade. I bought it before I knew anything about watches or what is considered fashionable or respectable and just got it because I thought it looked nice. I got so many positive comments on that watch. Not once did anyone tell me they thought it was too small. My wrist is right at 7 inches. More recently I got into watch geekery on youtube and reddit and such while I searched for what would replace it since it was no longer wearable. Since then I picked up a square G-Shock, which is big but well proportioned, a 35mm Timex Easy Reader, and a SARB033 which I'm completely in love with.
Recently I started feeling like the Timex at 35mm with an 18mm leather strap probably looked too much like a kids watch and was too small for me and I need to replace it with something bigger. Thing is, I really like the design, the simple case and strap, the typefaces, the fact that it has day/date, and it fits in perfectly in my lineup as my IDGAF watch to wear on weekends with shorts and flip flops. Literally the only reason I feel like replacing it is its size. Not that replacing my cheap casual Timex is any kind of hardship, but I wonder if maybe I just need to stop looking at other people's watches for a while and see if I still want to replace it after that.
On whisky... Johnnie Blue is decent for a blend, but nowhere near worth the ridiculous prices they charge for it. Get a bottle of Bunnahabhain or Springbank instead and find out what heaven tastes like.
On Mohammed Ali, I wish athletes (and people in general) had his class and intelligence.
I’m 8 feet tall, 641 pounds of muscle, have 11 inch wrists, and I wear nothing above 30mm
I’ve recently moved to smaller watches. Wrist fatigue due to big, heavy watches is a real thing.
Love conversations like this. You guys are good at them. Thank you.
“like a jerk” so awesome. I totally agree and there is a false wealth perception that exists. Such bs, wear what you like and can afford. If I’m worried if the next guy recognizes what I’m wearing and what he thinks....I’m done.
Wear what you like. If you are worried, or think that the size of your watch makes you more feminine or masculine, you have a lot bigger problems than the size of your watch.
agreed, thanks for watching!!!
The opposite of what you said at 12:00 is true too. If you wear smaller watches to look cool in the eye of the watch enthusiasts community and fit into this group, or to show that you bought a very expensive vintage piece, you're trying too hard too. Even on my 6 inch wrist, I think something smaller than 36 mm is too small - just because I happen to love more modern watches and that I'm used to wearing 40 mm watches. Do I look like I'm trying too hard when I wear these? You tell me, but honestly, I don't care :) I don't want to wear smaller watches that I don't like just because they look more proportionate, more respectable or supposedly "manlier". Now let me shoot a video about this! Keep it up! Cheers
Thank you!! We try everyday!
Bottle of thunderbird and my sieko 5...Heaven
I have a 32mm AP dress watch and a 53mm g shock with tons in between. It’s a weird collection but I like it :)
I wear a midsize Seamaster 300M. I have a 6.25” wrist, and the 41mm was just slightly too large.
I don't have a big wrist, but wear 40-45mm, except my Casio MT-G which is obviously huge. 39 and under just look ridiculously small and funny. Tho anyone is welcome to wear whatever he wants.
You guys are awsome, great subject matter.
Some years ago cars had 30 horses now cars have 500 horses, the same happens with watches, you have to evolve, now watches for men are 42mm or more. That is the reality
For you that holds true, and that's ok. Thanks for watching!!!
A simple explanation for our age group (25-50y/o) buying or patronizing 40mm and above watches would be simple:
As we grow older we might have huge wrists and our body type would be bigger, might as well purchase a bigger sized watch now than regret it in the future.
agreed!!!
Generally I don't wear smaller than 40mm, but am currently wearing a 37mm two tone TH 2000 Exclusive and it's fine.
thanks for watching man
Do try some Don Juan Urquijo’s from the Philippines. They may surprise you.
cool - will do, man!!
Man, some of the comments on here are absolutely ridiculous. It just shows who the actual pretentious self-focused jealous people are. Get a grip and go post elsewhere. This kid is doing a fantastic job at what he does. If you don't like it, beat it. Literally. Another point they make here which is much needed in this world is the only competition in life is yourself, not others.
thank you very much!!! i try very hard
Hey, I like the discussion. Very interesting. Just a small command, let you colleague also talk a little bit. Let the discussion flow a little bit. I like you Videos, it just gives a total different view to things that people doing currently.
is the old guy harris? I thought it was the girl but theo said it wasn't
I like Blue label But I also like Gold and Black label
To each, their own.
It should reflect your personality. If you think a watch fits your wrist, you love it, then you should buy it. I would ask the ladies, what they think is masculine. In regards of behaviour, character, clothes, watches, accessories. I don‘t about the term at all. Except protecting your family, taking care of them, be a good person.
I am a 6'3" man who works out and I am a muscular 290 lbs. I have 8.25 inch wrists but I wear watches as small as 35mm to as large as 46 mm. I am comfortable with my masculinity and a watch is just a piece of jewelry to me and I wear what I like.
Love to hear that, man!! Glad you got what we were trying to say. Be free and enjoy!!!
ive never seen Roland out of his shell that much I love it !!
hahahahaha!!!!
Very interesting discussion. Personally, I wear watches that are proportional to my large arms/wrist/hands. I think its all relative to your stature. A 36mm on Theo could equate to 47mm on me. With that said, I do think there are watches out there that are just too big for any wrist. I wear 46 - 50mm which actually looks normal on me. To each their own in my humble opinion.
Wait a minute, didn't you just do a video where you said some watches need to be big?
depends on the style you are looking for, thanks for watching!!!
I have an Omega bumper 34 mm love it. My manhood still the same.
Also with professions ...people do MBA’s law school , medicine < PHD cause of a serious pursuit of education and profession they love, others to show it all on their sleeve
thanks for watching!!!
I love your 1601 on that brown leather strap!
I have a thick wrist, but I actually prefer a 38 - 40mm watch
There’s a good reason Rolex kept the 36 mm case - imo more masculine not showing off - and by the way please learn how to light a cigar😫
They're for men of wisdom.
Irish whiskey my friends. Bushmills, Midleton ... so many nice alternatives
I’m 50. So well said from both Roly and you Christian. Keep up the excellent content. By the way I wear a 39mm Explorer one 214270. Perfect size for my 7.2 inch wrist. It’s not about size that makes a watch excellent for me. Cheers
thank you man, roll thanks you too!!!
