Proportional, I suppose!

For example, I find the DSSD too thick in relation to its diameter, whereas I find the new Exp II perfectly proportioned

I don't particulary like ultra-thin watches, even as dress pieces

Pizza is a far more important issue... personally I prefer thin crust

That all depends on the watch---personally though I mostly enjoy chunkier watches--so thick for me to house monster movements!

I love both, but so far, my watches are considerably thin.

Thiner watches and pizzas for me, I'm not as fussy for the second one though!

I prefer thin-- 10mm, or so. I kind of like a range between a DJ and Speedy Pro for thickness, and thinner is fine, but I don't care for added thickness that isn't clearly for performance purposes.

Both...

This one...


...is twice as thick as this one:


And I love them equally, though for entirely different reasons.

Regards,
Adam

PS - I'm with the kid from Chicago and Mike when it comes to pizza, though.

I prefer a moderately thin watch (14-16mm) and a thick pizza! Cheers, Bill P.

depends- I don't mind wide diameter watches, but thickness all depends on proportions
