other solution
since in tropical sure will not wear leather jacket...so this option is out
not a diver either so again this option is out too
hence left Anthony's suggestion as desk clock
and I would rule out HANG on The Wall
so this become more Wall time instead of Wrist time and also not safe queen ...LOLOL
When too big is really too big?
I've been pondering this question for a long time now. With the release of 60mm Egiziano, I can't help but wondering where would that leave pencil wrist guy like myself... Long ago, I used to go with the simple criteria that: When I look at the watch stra...
dude...
u gotta lay off them big watches but if you can't resist and have to wear those luvly big pieces than you gotta train with the best! hope alls well wif u dude the panerai 60mm watch is a clock. anyone who says it can be worn on the wrist has to be built l...
I'm searching a solution, too, Jester, and I found it!
The Egiziano is to be worn on a big leather Jacket. ROFLMAO. When it's too big, it is too big, my friend. I have no problems with 47 mm Luminors or Rads, but I have with ROO... ( ??? ). The Montoya I owned didn't fit my wrist, so I sold it. For the Egizia...
Market Forces
Jester, In a post a few threads down, I speculated on possible issues surrounding watches that are obviously ill-fitting. A point I did not make there, but which your post elicits, is that as long as people keep buying oversized watches that don't fit the...
pretend you have a broken wrist
and wrap that 60mm beast around the plaster !! not so comfy helas , but hey you have to do some offering huh !!...
No one can wear the Panerai Egyptian
It's not a watch to be worn in today's age. Those who will buy it will probably use it as a desk clock or it will turn into a safe queen. I'd use it as a desk clock if I were buying one. - AT
Too big can be offset by other things...
I heard that Panerai is teaming up with Prada. They are offering a special line of Egiziano shoes........
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
(Latin) Who watches the watchers? Jester, my good man – it depends on whether you are watching the watch or expect others to watch you. Your initial criterium seem reasonable to keep the watch head within the confines of your wrist silhouette or the strap...
The trends of ever-larger sizes is ridiculous and probably at an end point. However...
... To my mind there's one justification: history. Panerais have always been big and the original Egiziano was 60mm, like this year's re-issue. As a rule, I completely agree with your first criteria (watch head not bigger than wrist width). But when you w...
De gustibus non est disputandum
First of all great collection of "big" pieces Jester! I must play this one against all team :0) I just love big watches but OK the 60mm Egiziano is my upper limit also. If I could by one and I hope I will one day I'll surely ware it regardless queue behin...
I can see you coming, Damian
You want me to get one and bring it to you in Croatia next summer, eeeh? Best, my friend. Nicolas
Mini Clocks
These biggies are really miniclocks You can't button up your sleeve and they really bulge out. My friend says they're really outlandish....
but maybe you're perfectly posiotioned to answer this question
You do have a VERY big and interesting collection. I guess you won't wear all your pieces or you'll have to change several times a day So, would you buy a watch (to complete your collection) even if you know you'll probably almost never wear it ?
