Sold my Daytona, JLC and Patek all because they were too small, i tried to like them, they were all stunning stylish sophisticated pieces but so what, if they look like toys and disproportionate what's the point. JMHO

I don’t think I have ever noticed a gentleman’s watch and thought it was too small, however, I have seen many timepieces that were too big!

34 is classic, the trends for bigger watches are a recent fad... it will pass. Timeless watch sizes will always be in style.

34mm is a bit small for me for my personal tastes, but I have been wanting an older Air King with blue dial lately.

34mm~36mm perfect for me.
Study said the wrist size divided by 4.5 is your perfect size.
The factor should be between 4.0 and 5.0.

Used to think 36 is the smallest I'd go until I got this OP Date. It does wear like a 36 without a hint of undersized. Guess the engine turned bezel, light/creamy dial and shape of rivet bracelet play a part. I have a 7' wrist btw

We still have a 1002 in the box. My wife wore it for a daily for many years, but mostly wears her 36mm 116231 now days. LOL she went from 26 to 34 to 36. For years I wore 34/36 mm Rolex, but about a decade ago I quit wearing them. Subs and GMTs ever since.
