I predominantly wear two Rolex watches. One is my daily watch (for the most part) and the other is my weekend watch. The range in the size between the two is sizeable. My daily is a 34 mm Air King, while my weekend watch is a 43 mm Sea Dweller. I wonder if anyone else wears watches that are so different in size on the regular?

The only time that either feels strange is when I swap one for the other, but that only last for a short while.

36 DD and a 42 seiko diver, but to me the width is main noticeable difference.

Spoonage · 31 December 2019, 01:29 AM

I can wear anything from 36mm - 46mm... With that said I never tried anything outside that range but I feel anything larger would look silly on me as I don't have large wrists.

904VT · 31 December 2019, 01:30 AM

38.5mm Daytona, up to a 42mm Seiko Diver

I'd be fine with both a DJ36 and a DSSD though!

wach16 · 31 December 2019, 01:57 AM

My two are 41.5 and 40mm so it is not an issue switching between them for me at least

Zyfon · 31 December 2019, 01:59 AM

40mm Hulk 44mm and 47mm Panerai for me. Switch between them daily.

Ian Macdermott · 31 December 2019, 02:01 AM

34mm to 50mm

darthgman · 31 December 2019, 02:23 AM

36mm to 40mm. On list for 42mm exp II

TswaneNguni · 31 December 2019, 02:27 AM

40-47mm (One 60mm)

pickettt · 31 December 2019, 02:39 AM

34mm-41mm, and a 52mm G-Shock

Dr. Robert · 31 December 2019, 02:46 AM

36-40mm......no longer than 48mm lug to lug.

kieselguhr · 31 December 2019, 02:56 AM

6.5in wrist. Size range from 34mm, 36mm, 40mm, 41mm. I think lug to lug length is more significant

Rocco21 · 31 December 2019, 03:00 AM

7.75” wrist I wear 38-44mm.

Toproll85 · 31 December 2019, 03:02 AM

40mm Rolex, the right size for all men...

faaaaaaaasterrrrr · 31 December 2019, 03:04 AM

36 to 42

Aquaholic_user · 31 December 2019, 03:13 AM

36 OP to 45.5 PO

SM-N960U

HogwldFLTR · 31 December 2019, 03:25 AM

34 to 40 mm for 6.5 in me.

Amochosto · 31 December 2019, 03:31 AM

I go from a 34mm ‘60s vintage Omega Seamaster to a 44mm Sea-Dweller. I am strongly considering a 45.5 mm Omega Planet Ocean Chrono as well.

pepsiretail · 31 December 2019, 03:34 AM

I go from 34mm Vintage OP all the way to 45mm Zenith Pilot Extra Special and love the variety.

msf33 · 31 December 2019, 04:14 AM

36mm dress watch up to 44mm JC DSSD, and quite a few in between.

The lug-to-lug distance, case shape, and lug design makes so much difference to how a watch wears that is it impossible to compare on a single size measurement alone.

All that said, I do lean towards the smaller half of the range for work (suits, business attire) and larger for casual (shorts, jeans).

I don't think I would go any larger than 44mm; however, I might go slightly smaller to 34mm for the right watch.

In the end, it's a matter of what you enjoy. I think for most of us, that can be a pretty big range.

Also dial colour and visible dial area is a factor

pbubsy · 31 December 2019, 01:07 PM

I think the smallest watch I wear is 39mm and the largest is 47mm. I have wrists that hover right around 8".

inadeje · 31 December 2019, 01:16 PM

40 to 52 mm. Smallest is a 5513 sub and largest is a Bvlgari 52 mm endurer, the 47 mm Panerai where the same as the YMII.

rodo · 31 December 2019, 01:25 PM

Currently have 36 to 44. Have owned 34 to 48

Dirt · 31 December 2019, 01:25 PM

44 mm as a regular daily and down to 38 mm for an exclusive dress watch.

bellesdad0417 · 31 December 2019, 01:42 PM

39 to 43 MM and yes i do notice the difference in size between the two on 7.75" wrist

RTG · 31 December 2019, 01:57 PM

I have purchased 36mm to 44mm. I tend to wear only 42mm. Anything smaller looks too small, any bigger looks too big.

sadly I’m less picky about buying than wearing.

Watch Rob · 31 December 2019, 02:16 PM

34 to 43

kwcsports · 31 December 2019, 02:49 PM

35mm Omega
36mm DJ
50mm GShock

sirish19 · 31 December 2019, 03:04 PM

The largest watch I have owned was a 44mm PAM which Was paired with a 40mm GMT Master II. After I bought my 40mm ultra thin VC Patrimony and 39mm Patek annual calendar, the PAM felt too big so I sold it off for my 39mm AP Jumbo. Currently I have:

39mm PP AC
39mm AP Jumbo
40mm VC Patrimony
40mm GMTII
40mm SubmarinerC
42mm Speedmaster Professional

I don’t see myself adding anything else outside of this range as it seems to be my comfort zone.
