QUOTE(avaultz @ Oct 8 2012, 09:09 PM) hey guys, I think its rare to have the words "oversized" and "dress watch" in the same sentence...seeking for some advise here, im currently searching for a dress watch ovesize 50mm -53mm sizes. Dress watches are generally slimmer cases with small/medium diameters and little complications...some purists insist dress watches to be made from precious metals and paired with a leather strap but I feel such guidelines to be outdated.... But yea, back to size again, unless you have the wrist size of Shaquiel O'Niel anthing over 42mm cannot be considered dressy... Some iconic dress watches are the Jeager LeCoultre Reverso, Patek Calatrava, Piaget Altiplano, A.Lange & Sohne Saxonia, Vacheron Patrimony... P.S Ignore Bill Clinton with his Panerai/Suit combo (WRONG) This post has been edited by yonggoh: Oct 8 2012, 10:19 PM |

maybe the person asking has a 9" wrist? in that case 42mm or below watches will look girly.

thx for the c&c guys. my wrist size is 7.6 inches
currently i owned a 43mm ellese and edifice.. both look ok but not too small on my wrist. (im not fat or chubby btw). i prefer at least 50mm dress watch for my daily office use since wearing my weekend g-shock doesnt seems to be matched. i bumped into invicta brand- such as sub noma 4,venom n etc. all is oversize 50mm above, but the watch is too thick since it's a diving watch. last week saw the latest fossil nate(50mm) at pavillion.. what do u guys bout this brand?the price kinda cheap for battery operated. thx This post has been edited by avaultz: Oct 9 2012, 12:10 AM |

ya.. that doesnt look like a dress watch. For me dress watch should be below 41mm and leather strap the best!

^I've seen one of the Aviator models being sold on MAS inflight shopping. Search on the net shows that it's a Russian brand, owned by Volmax.
http://aviatorwatch.ru/ Apparently they outsourced the manufacturing to a UK company. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f67/review-av...ost3579837.html |
