What watch size do you prefer? Mens watches

Please select only one size from the poll which size you prefer. Just in general for your daily wear piece.
My prefered is 42-43

LOL.. ok.. I think I forced this poll to be skewed. Since the most popular Rolex watches are 40mm I'm already seeing 66% vote for 40mm.

42 gets my vote

Depends on case thickness too. A 44 can look nice if it isn't too thick, a 40 can look silly if its too thick.

40mm! Wish they made the DJII in 40mm too. Would have been perfect! Anything over 42mm looks too trendy and loses its Classic and dress appeal.

40mm is perfect for me. I can wear bigger watches on my 8 inch wrists but anything bigger and I start to feel like this..........................

I do wear smaller watches, though, from time to time.

I'm not inclined to go more than 40mm, though.

40-42 for me. Anything bigger starts looking like a hubcap on my wrist.

38-40mm dress, 40-42mm sport. My pick-one would be 42 like a Speedy Pro or the obscure but personal fav IWC Titan Chrono.
