What is the size difference between the largest and the smallest watches you actually wear (not own)? Mine are 45MM and 31MM without the crowns. When wearing a watch you really don't notice a few MM difference until you put them side by side. Add in a watch with no bezel that is all dial and you have yourself a whole nother optical illusion in proportions.    |

Nice coins.
My smalllest is 34 mm and largest 44 mm.
I prefer the 36-38 mm for ease of wear, larger for more of a wrist statement.
YES the watches that are "all dial" are optical illusions. I'm in the middle of 7005-2000 rebuild that looks much larger than it measures (measures 37, looks every bit of 41+)

I think I must have done this on TOF as I had a pic already. Citizen is 46mm with crown and JWB is 29mm.  I prefer 36-38mm. |

Mine is 37-47mm. I find that 40-44mm is my sweet spot. Here's a photo of the smallest in my collection, a 1st Gen Tag Heuer F1 (at right about 35mm) from my father. I had it restored (hands, dial, bezel etc) by Tag Heuer and wear it at home. It's a bit on the small side but is just too important to let go. The watch on the left is the 1st Gen Tag Heuer F1 Chrono, it's seen better days but is still in great shape (even developing a good patina), it is around 37mm. This one I still wear to the office even though small. It's been with me since 1990 and has been restored once.  |

I simply love the Astrons but they are just too darn big for my 6.75" wrist. There is a new one out for 2014 that I haven't fitted yet but looks promising at just a hair under - something like 44 mm. Love yours above.
