Actually legend I have Popeye arms , where your forearms are so much bigger than your wrist. http://popeye.com/
Now keep in mind my upper arms are much bigger than my forearms, I think you get the picture. So not abnormal for me just for watch makers, as I fall into a very small demographic = no straps or bracelets that fit me. To be honest going a little smaller these days like the ease of wear 42-46mm, although 47 ok in pilots & Pams.
