How many of you actually think that 36mm is still the best size for dress watch? Or am i the only one that going backward.. i found that 36mm actually more presentable than 40mm in the dress watch category.
Or maybe my view is different due to my small wrist? ;D

Of cause, when you first seeing the 33mm-36mm side by side to 40mm, you will think it's small, look girlish.. but when you put on your wrist, it really look good. With 33-36mm, your watch straps actually sit better on your wrist, slightly curve, go around your wrist. not like 40mm, if fit on small wrist, the straps actually ended up 90 degree flat at both side due to the lugs already reach both edge of your wrist.
I also found that a 40mm dress watch, it might "accidentally" send wrong impression become a sport watch.
That's just my opinion...
i do have 40mm, 41mm, 42mm watch in my collection, i am referring a formal dress watch now. ;D

36mm is the best dress watch size for me.
40mm is the best looking sport watch for me.
So it depends on your wrist as what the other member said.

But these days; the definition of formal wear is lost to most, so what do I know anyway.
I always believe that in any occasion, the attention should always be on the person, followed by the clothes and then finally the accessories.
Sadly at these day and age of "in your face" attention seeking and marketing, the reverse is the order of the day.

I got a 36mm. Even with a 7.5 inch wrist, it looks better as the curve of the strap look as if it is part of the cuffs.
A picture to show what I meant.

Is it signaling the reversal of trend from big size to smaller size?!?

45mm is not for a dress watch right? The watch loses its elegance when it id too big
My dress watches are in the range of 39mm - 40 mm, nevertheless, I wear 45 mm to work occasionally (office attire).
