In Response To: Does size really matter??? ()

: Hi All,
: New to the board. BTW, Awesome site Derek. VERY
: informatize and a pleasure to read. I am
: about to buy my first Omega. Very excited
: :-) Was about to buy a 2532.80 until I saw a
: 2352.20 that just called my name :-) In any
: case I figure I'm a pretty average size guy,
: but when I put on the full size
: "men's" watch it looked and felt
: huge. The bracelet seemed to be almost
: nonexistant. Do most men in the U.S. wear
: the full size watch? Is a watch that large
: on the average arm stylish? Do most people
: fit the watch to there frame, or is the full
: size case a better "investment"
: for the collector?

: Thanks a bunch,
: PATMAN :)
I'm 6'5 236lbs wrist 7 1/4 I own the full size Seamaster Pro 300m and I find the crown sometimes digging into the back of my hand. My brother has the midsize and he's the same size as me. Both sizes are good looking time piece's, but I prefer the full size SMP (007). I think the full size will hold more value.
