Thanks for the topic Lanikai,forgive me for going off a bit. I have looked back In watch history and there really wasn't that many big watches. I think Panerai(divers) and IWC(pilot's) being the exception, maybe a few others. It wasn't long ago that a 40mm timpiece was considerd big. The biggest watch that I had when I arrived here was a 40mm and I really did not think I would or could go any bigger. This was less then one year ago. My first rep was a 42mm omega Po. I thought It was to big and that I would never wear It for that reason. I rarely wear the watch now because I fine It to small. The sweet spot for me is 44mm-48mm. If you were to have told me this eleven months ago I would have thought that you might be seriously mistaken (crazy) I really cant explane It but I just enjoy wearing bigger watches. Some think of a slick watch as a status symbol, "If you,ve got one, flaunt It".(watchtime) I just happen to like the look and feel of a bigger timepiece. It seems that other brands that normally would Ignor fashion trends have taken notice.For example Movado has a 60mm, there famous museum piece. I could go on and on about all of the other big swiss brands that are going big. In 2006, ETA Introduced a new collection of big calibers called Valgrangs, which are 16.5 lignes or 37.2 mm. In diameter. The Valjoux 7750 for examole Is 13.5 lignes or 29.9 mm, In diameter. ETA observes. " We are undoubtedly witnessing the biginning of a major trend for the comming years. the demand for large, even very large, watches... To embrace this trend, a new caliber has emerged, the Valgranges" How big Is to big? We may not know for some time. (ref Watchtime) Go big or go home Mike
