First off, I am not a small guy. short yes. 5,9 but I weigh 245. Pretty stocky.As my brother likes to say when we are out at dinner, "why dont you take off your shoes and eat with your other hands?" Apparently I remind him of a gorilla. My wrists are about 8 inches. I dont know if thats big or average or what. All I am saying is that I had one of those parnis U bootish style watches that I thought looked ridiculous on me it was so big. (the rectange one, not the round one) But then Hammer had to get that 60mm monstrosity he has, and I have been eyeing them for awhile, so I got one at a deal in PVD. and you know what? I LIKE this thing. its freakishly large, but kinda cool. and after its been on my wrist for about 2 minutes, I dont even notice it anymore. (Although I have to watch out for low flying planes. ) but its comfortable. It weighs 290 grams. and its mechanical. (Asian 6497 hand winder) keeps AMAZINGLY accurate time. and its power reserve is about 40 hours. And it is the END all BE all of conversation starters. The Lume is actually REALLY good, sandwich dial that is set so low below the Sapphire crystal that its just looks cool. Yeah. Sapphire. un real. Now, if I can just find a PVD mesh band in 26mm..........  Oh, one downside to it. When You have sausage fingers like me, its actually quite a chore to wind this beast to its max. The crown guard is so big that I can barely reach in there. Size comparison shots, Next to some of my other big watches. If youve ever owned a J-Sar, you know just how big this thing is by sitting next to it.              |

That's a big one; but the lugs don't seem to overhang your wrist at all. I'd have to wear that as an ankle watch . Enjoy it! |

I have one of those myself. Looks like you have it on a 22mm strap? Toss a nice thick 5-6mm, 24mm on there and it will add a nice beefiness to it. |

Actually, Its a 26mm strap. its over 4mm thick. the watch is 60mm, im pretty sure a 22mm would look ridiculous on it! :) Ive since switched it to a 26mm Rubber strap that is 5-6mm deep. to add the depth to it |

wow that is a big one, I couldn't pull that one off. Looks good on your wrist. I am 6'5" 210 and my wrists are just too small. Although I thought the CalHai would be too big for me and it is perfect. |

Sorry, I was thinking about my 52mm Big Egi watch, forgot those 60mm are beasts. I still think I'm going to need one of those. |

I like it. I might make a stand for it and set it on a dresser or table when it's not on my wrist. |

Interesting watch, Scott. Very robust and unique. It's got a strong resemblance to my ultimate grail, the Pam Egiziano. Are you using a PVD buckle on it? Your photos weren't very clear on the buckle. I'd experiment with a distressed tan leather strap on that one. Wear it in good health. Last edited on Sat Apr 17th, 2010 12:58 pm by bigrustypig |
