Favorite big watches

[arcadia]

here is mine, 6.5" wrist

Looks like you carry that well. It depends on the particular watch and how a guy carries it.

The Breitling Super Avenger is almost a must 'tho in super rep / franken acquisition. Give it a try OP.

You could be 7' tall, 300lb, but your wrist could be 6,5". So, your height/weight have nothing to do with watches size.

True that, wrists are just bone, there's no muscle over them. Unless you are born with large wrists no amount of workout can help you out. Even when I was curling 150lb. and doing forearms with 100lb. my wrists stayed at 6.8' . I don't hate it cause it does make your arms look bigger. The only thing that can help you get bigger wrists is to increase your body fat considerably.

Well Big fella there's always the Big Egi! http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/mission-big-egi-70370 You'll have to find it but 52mm of pure manliness that will make you feel small !!

Good call! My most recent edition is a white one of these bad boys.

Done and done. Thanks for the recommendation!

I have 8,5" wrist, and 44mm watches are just fine on me. 48mm - OK, but anything bigger look, like a wall clock. Here's 48mm SA.

See I think the 48mm Breitling is a good size. Anything less seems a little small.

Is that the franken one you had for sale a while ago?

I got the same issue with big hands. Tried on a gen Breit SA (48 mm) a few weeks ago just to size it. It's a massive hunk 'o steel without all the clownish crap u see in some of the other large pieces. It's my next get.

Just bought a Railmaster XXL. Good recommendations.

I think a Muller might be next on my list. How do you like yours? I love the gen version of that Bell&Ross, but I'm waiting for them to come out with a rep where the colors are a little more accurate.

You won't be disappointed, mate!
But you may want to start looking for a replacement strap. It comes with a tapered 24/18mm, which looked girly on such a big watch.

I tried an old Pam strap and liked it a lot better.

My 47mm 194 is my favorite "big" watch

Can't go wrong with a vintage 6152/1 either

 

[thedavidrush]

Those look great. My collection is still Panerai-less. I'm waiting for the PAM504 to come out in the next few weeks.
