Many guys hate to wear any jewelry of any sort and see a watch as a piece of jewelry. they us their cel phones for time or track the Sun's movements.

Some want the basic digital which they will pound the crap out of and then toss. Repeat process.

The there are the few and far between WIS. We have a bunch of them here but I don't run into all that many out on the Matrix.

So our situation is much like yours except we love to place huge slabs of stanless on our massive man wrists... except for Ken!!

But I do carry a sextant on a brown Alligator strap with deployant.  I guess my biggest watch is 44mm (MD), but I prefer 38mm to 42mm.

As to dress watches, I have a few, but strange that most do not consider dive and pilot watches as dress watches,  I do........for example, I have no problem wearing my TT Rolex GMT Master II with a dinner suit....not my TT Breitling Windrider Chronomat.  I also do not have any problem wearing my Movado Kingmatic Chrono on Brwn Leather with a suit (although I do have a problem wearing the suit).  My Hamilton Khaki Filed Chrono (@ $190 - I just couldn't help throwing that in) looks equally at home with suit or jeans.  Likewise many of my others. JK Military, Invicta Executive, 2014 & 2015, Victorinox SA 9G-600, ZENO Explorer, Seiko ANA, Poljot Buran Flight, all 3 of my TRIAS, Tissot Seastar 1000 & PRS 516 Auto and many other.
