I'm 6'0" tall, and weigh in at about 168, with a 6-1/2" wrist. I am finding myself attracted to big, fat chronographs, like this Heuer Autavia.

Do you think I might be rotund?? Should I worry??

I really enjoyed this thread.

Thanks.

Jeff

: Wrist size is actually the LEAST important part

: Are you tall, short, skinny, rotund? All of

: proportions looks as bad or worse than a too

: I have very skinny wrists and the full size
: works great on me. But I am 6' tall and of
: average weight.

: The general rule I've come up with is that if
: you are 5'8" or less *or* somewhat
: burly/rotund, then the mid size should be
: best. But if you are 5'10" or taller
: and not rotund, then the full size should be
: an okay choice.
