: I love the smaller chronographs of the 40's 50's and 60's but,
: having relatively big wrists myself they usually look a bit odd
: on me. Maybe they just look odd in the context of today's
: massive watches...but they look odd just the same.

I agree with what suits... but then I have 7.75" wrists and I don't think a first gen Carrera looks odd at all. But I'd shrink away from 45mm and yet I see people with wrists an inch shorter around reckoning 45mm looks fine on them. All in the eye of the beholder...
