Women wearing 40m

[CarrJ]

I always thought 40m was kinda big for a women...... but that’s apparently a Hulk and not looking bad at all.

Only the wearer of the watch can say what is too big for them.

My wife is skinny. She can pull off a 34mm through to a 45mm, no problem.

Who are you to tell her what she should wear?

Are you saying someone can never say that one thing looks better than another on a person or people? Odd position.

What I'm saying is making judgements on what a woman can/can't/should/shouldn't do is down to the individual who is wearing it and nobody else's business. Least of all some mouth on a forum who thinks they know what's best for women. Good grief! 1950s much?

You can’t stop people having opinions on what looks good or bad though, as long as they don't feel that anyone has to act on those opinions...

Seems more like an observation than a judgement.

I'm judging, but I'm not judging the person because who am I to do that? The list of flaws I have is longer than the BLRO so-called-list at my AD. What I'm judging is the style itself. It's a preference or taste.

Let's flip it around, a burly aggressively bearded man, wears a dainty 28 mm diamond encrusted Cartier. Are we judging him? Maybe some do. I call it making some inferences about him, some of which may be true, some not but that's our human nature. In any case I'm making a "judgement" that his outfit isn't congruent. I don't see any issue with that.

Lol, he's not saying they'll get thrown in jail for wearing large watches, just that often times they don't look great (something I agree with by the way).

It's no different than saying large shoulder pads don't look great on women, or nuthugger shorts don't look great on men. Are you really saying one can't have that position? In fact, I bet you'd react far less negatively to someone saying that watches under 30mm typically don't look great on men (again, something I also agree with).

My general view is that large watches don't typically look great on women, in that there is usually a more optimal choice. That said, I DO think they look good on larger women who can handle the size. They also can look good on very beautiful, feminine women, in much the same way that 90s Pam Anderson could pull off masculine clothing like slacks, suspenders and a tie.

Who are you talking to?

OP stated a light hearted opinion and then followed up by saying 40mm isn't bad looking on a woman.

You're overreacting Harry. Obviously I agree with your sentiment here, but it's completely misplaced. Unless the OP was edited, i don't know what you're getting so worked up about.

Everyone is free to make judgements, and should. We’re all judged daily on how we carry ourselves, regardless of gender. Those judgements may not always be correct, and those who are better at them will typically fare better than others.

If you see somebody wearing a Rolex, you’ll have made a judgement about them. Same with somebody wearing a Patek perpetual calendar, or an Hublot. Of course the wearer is free to wear whatever they wish, but to do so is a choice beyond just a readily available means of telling the time, and those that see them will make an interpretation of what that choice means. To rely solely on judgement would be wrong, denying ourselves a chance to learn, but to ignore it would ignore our ability to learn.

Agreed. And I respect anyone's right to an opinion and to state it, although it is sometimes impossible to respect the opinion. It works in both directions.

My wife is rocking her X33 today. And very good it looks too. She had a good laugh when she saw the OP.

Omg smh whining snowflake nonsense. Your “trendy” outrage is just plain ridiculous. No one is saying that women can’t vote or learn to read! We are talking about fashion opinions!

To the OP I actually think a 40mm on a woman looks great. I think it’s an edgy look that many women can pull off without it looking overly masculine.

Is your opinion that we shouldn't make judgements about what watch someone should wear exclusive to women? Are you equally riled up by those who make judgements about what men wear? This is a forum about what people like/dislike and what they think looks good. Opinions are going to be expressed. And not offering those opinions simply because an individual is a woman actually seems to be demeaning to women. The poster you tried to insult by labeling "1950s" very well may have had the same comment about a 40mm watch on a man's wrist if the man's wrist was the same small size as the woman's wrist.

OP is not telling anyone what they can't or can wear. Sheesh.

There is a difference to stating subjective opinions on what looks aesthetically good in a fashion sense to telling someone what they can or can't wear.

OPs ask frequently how a watch looks on them or someone size wise. They apparently value our opinions. As I recall, your wife did not ask our opinion so we are not offering any.

Not sure the op thinks he has the right to comment on what your wife wears. LOL I’m confused by why you’d ask this.

agreed. Please post a pic of your wife wearing a 45mm just for my enjoyment

[brandrea]

I suppose it depends ...

I see them worn more like fashion watches even on some men

[CarrJ]

I would agree.

Born and raised in Milan Italy, I remember seeing Alitalia flight attendants wearing the GMT as early as the mid 90s. Got my first 40mm, a 5513, when I graduated HS in 1989
