At 6'4" and ~230lbs, 40mm is a bare minimum for me. Actually I don't much like anything under 42mm. I
do, however, kind of like the new 42mm Explorers.
Horses for courses, right?
I've owned multiple Panerai, a couple of Breitlings (current watch is a Skyland) and even an Omega or two.
I keep going to back to Panerai - nothing else seems to scratch that itch. Nearly exclusively older watches, though. Most of the new stuff from Panerai leaves me cold, other than the 372 and some of the 47mm Radiomirs. I just wish the Daylight Chronos like the 196 or 188 had a better WR number.
Oh, and Panerai's move to in-house movements can be traced to about the same time that Richemont bought Minerva. This is not a coincidence.
