What's a good watch if you have a 8.5" wrist

Recommended Posts

RDeck

Looking for a nice watch, problem I have is that I have huge wrists so most bolexes and bmega's look too small on me. Any suggestions? (pics! :itchyandscratchy: )

I'd agree with AT's recommendations too. Also the AP ROO range

IWC Big Pilot - that's also a fun one to get as a gen. Hamilton makes a cool one in PVD.

Invicta... yes I know, but they are built soild and definately have the necessary Band Sizing for your wrists. The Audemars run fairly large on the band as well.

8.5", chicken arms. ;) I have bigger wrists also and I've found anything 45mm or over works well. I have on order a 45.5mm Omega PO and a Uboat Flightdeck. I'll post up pics when I get them, let you know how they fit. :rofl:

I think most, if not all, have been mentioned, but what about BRs? Granted they are only 46mm, but it does looks bigger resting by a Super Avenger. Wears quiet big as well.

Hey sconehead , ok well i could , i have sold my rep to a mate at work , these are a few pics i took when i had the rep a while ago , i will speak with him at work tommorrow, to be honest the only difference i could see was on the subdials , on the gen the lines that run vertically on the subdials are more prominent , they are there on the rep just not as prominent , also the the position of the word "Chronometer" is a little lower on the gen .

 

Apart from these two things they really are identical very good quality , I have to question myself at times as to why i brought the gen but it is a nice feeling to have at least one gen.

 

will post some more pics soon

 

cheers

Hmmmm. Not so sure... Looks more like a watch with an arm than an arm with a watch...

But if you like it, it looks right. :beer2:
