I think it is of course up to the individual about the size of watch they wear . Some big watches like the IWC big pilot are tradition wise big . I think that a huge watch on a small wrist looks out of place , to say the least . I think the trend for giant watches is finished , and many who have bought them will find them difficult to sell again . Most of them are just show , with a little ETA or other mass produced calibers stuck in them with lots of spacers . Prospector Slim wrote . You can tell the men from the boys by the size of their toys . This is unfortunately a belief held by many men who suffer from a inferiority complex <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> . Panerai unfortunatly went this way because of a second rate actor , who could not in real life punch his way out of a paper bag wore their watches . Being a ex. boxer i do know this . But branding and image means a lot to some people . Arni the so called Terminator is another example that helped to start the trend for big watches . Wearing his AP offshore he wiped out the Afghan Taliban all by himself <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> . These two clowns believe it or not started a trend . Image is so important to most people , and originality is unfortunatly hard to find in a world where most people are like sheep . But trends change as quickly as they come , because people are just so easy to manipulate . Watch brands are experts in the field of manipulation and following market trends . Down sizing seems to be the in thing with many brands right now . And discretion seems to be the in word . This is normal in a time with an economic down , it just does not do to flaunt your wealth with a gold hamburger on the wrist .
