Here's the secret....
In Response To: Re: Big Bond ()

: Mesa). I have a 7" wrist and stand
: about 5' 7". As soon as I put on the
: full size Bond, my wife started laughing.

Actually, your information is very helpful! It confirms my theory that it is *not* wrist size, but your total height that mades the difference in whether the full or mid size is best.

People judging the watch for themselves are focusing on how it looks on their wrist. But everyone else that sees you wearing it sees it in proportion to your *whole body*!

From the information I have gathered so far, men that are 5' 10" and up usually look better with the full size. Men that are 5' 9" and less tend to look better with the mid size.
