Wtf!!! Lol we'll that's what the host of shop at home "Invicta" watches said! Made me want to punch him in the face as I looked down at my 36 mm dj!

Don't ask why I was watching it! Hahaha well, I recently came back from a boat cruise and they were selling invicta watches and people on the boat were actually paying 600 for these things.. Crazy

Gagebuilder · 13 November 2012, 04:54 PM

Just a thought - yoo don't gotta believe everything yoo hear!

Hey, I recently went to a watch event at a jewelry store wearing my Deep Sea. Every single representative wanted to sell me an even bigger watch, even when I said 44 mm was my size limit.

joe100 · 13 November 2012, 05:03 PM

34-40mm is my size range.

ronbo710 · 13 November 2012, 05:11 PM

... selling Invictas is the day I go with bare wrists. And my 36mm Day-Date Agrees -Ron

wuyeah · 13 November 2012, 05:11 PM

Smaller than 34mm to me will not consider for purchase. Which Air king is a good model to set my standard.

patrike · 13 November 2012, 05:17 PM

I like 38-42mm. Exception for a 36mm DD.

Watches smaller than 38mm are considered women's and children's watches?

Fixed it for you!

Seriously, Invicta makes its money by appealing to the adolescent "Look at me! I'm somebody!" mindset of insecure adult males suffering from arrested emotional development and sexual self-doubt (and who can't afford a Panerai).

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

tigerpac · 14 November 2012, 01:37 AM

Usually I call them 'vintage' size under 38mm.

Rodentman · 14 November 2012, 02:23 AM

I prefer 40-42. I have a 45mm PO that I honestly think is too large for me. I sold the bracelet since it had no adj and was annoying. On the Omega rubber strap and deployant it is most comfortable.

You have only 1 person to make happy, yourself. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of your watch. That's my view, anyway.

Same here, or a 36MM Explorer 1.

AH0RSEY · 14 November 2012, 03:34 AM

i tried on one of those UBoat flighdeck 55's..... man that was HUGE!!!! made my PAM look small afterwards..... but for comfort I really prefer my 36mm DJ. The 42m EXP is my 'go to' watch now...size perfect for me.

I think 38mm is the perfect size for a watch! My IWC Mark XV is 38mm and I love it - not too big and not too small. Unfortunately watch companies have gone insane when it comes to watch sizes and I can no longer wear most watches that are currently for sale. At least Rolex, more or less, hasn't gone off the rails with watch sizes.

Welshwatchman · 14 November 2012, 04:03 AM

Bear in mind the guy's a salesman looking to offload a bunch of shite watches.

He's gotta say what he's gotta say.

Professional bullshitters abound in all areas of life.

tigerpac · 14 November 2012, 05:43 AM

For the record - My GF does wear a 37.5mm watch comfortably and she's barely over 5 feet tall.

And I have vintages that I love that are smaller. And I have several other watches that are larger.

There's no one perfect size, the same watch can be perfect for one person and too big or too small for another. Wear what you enjoy and is comfortable.

drockadam · 14 November 2012, 06:52 AM

Invicta's giant watches are ridiculous.

Either than that my 40mm 8926OB Pro Diver is still kicking! I've had thoughts on selling it, who knows though.

nick c · 14 November 2012, 06:58 AM

Must have is the 36mm DJ

drhr · 14 November 2012, 07:11 AM

they're both 35.9 mm. I would probably change gender b4 giving 'em up . . .

Beautiful 1815s.

I'd love to get a 308.025 Lange, and it's "only" 37mm.

Very nice! And, yes, that would be a keeper all life long . . .

Tudor66 · 14 November 2012, 02:56 PM

36 - 38 is the right size for me, but submariners only come in the 39-40mm range, so that is what I wear today.

Perhaps when I turn 50 I will pickup a newer tuxedo dial stainless steel Datejust and be done with submariners for a while...

threemonkeys · 14 November 2012, 04:14 PM

34 Air King is my ideal size. I'm not particularly interested in anyone's trendy watch flavor of the month. Bigger ain't better for me.

Psmith · 14 November 2012, 04:39 PM

I think the 'rule book' has long since been discarded...

I know ladies who wear 42 mm watches and gents who wear 34 mm

It's simply personal preference, based on a number/combination of factors

woodsworth · 14 November 2012, 04:43 PM

It all depends on your wrist size and your style.

AH0RSEY · 14 November 2012, 06:08 PM

Not sure this looks too small at 36mm

kbutler971 · 14 November 2012, 09:47 PM

My 36mm DD and ExpI are getting my wrist time these days. My GMT IIC is great but feels kinda bulky. Other's opinions may vary, but the 36mm size +/-2mm works best for me at present.
