Lug to lug and shape of wrist makes a difference. Also it doesn’t matter what others think. I can wear my nightstand alarm clock on my wrist and even though it is clownish it’s my choice lol

I wear both a 34mm Rolex Date and a 45mm IWC Portofino. I like them, what do I care.

If you have a slim wrist like I do, consider buying vintage watches. The bigger watches are a relatively recent trend. I picked up this 1960's JLC beauty recently.

This JLC rips.

Of course you can wear any size you want. Thats the right mind set. I have to admit though, seeing some huge watches on tiny wrists gives me a feeling like watching an accident. I don’t want to look there, but the imbalance is drawing my eyes to it. Its weird. Its a proportion thing.
