Mine this afternoon. It doesn't look that big on me but then I have big arms/wrists. Very tempted to have the face changed to yellow on mine when it goes for service in a year or two (costs about £200 on top of the service ), I think it'd look nicer but would be more "obvious" - whereas with a grey face it looks a little more descrete. 
Edit: Btw I'm wearing an Isle of Man TT 2004 t-shirt in the office today.

whatever happened to discrete dress watches, wafer thin, nice leather strap and unfussy face?
I like a nice dress watch, but those chunky arsed things smack of insecurity to me.

If I was a shirt wearer/lifter
I'd probably have a dress watch instead, something like an Omega Railmaster in black/SS on a brown leather strap.

It's like women who wear nasty chunky gold, they look cheap.
Less is more sometimes.

The 'homo thing' as you put it was a reference to your constant comments about benders and men masturbating each other, I think Freudian analysis would say your hidden desires are bubbling to the surface.
No offence taken whatsover, I have no problems with gay people, it's just idiots like you I enjoy having a go at.

Pity about the shirt though

Just sticking my nose in where it won't be wanted
I don't wear a watch, don't like to be shackled by time.
Dunno why people bother with expensive watches, other half has a few, if I want to know what time it is I find a clock, if I can't find one I just get on with it, guess what time it is. But then thats me, and your you and if you want a watch thats fine by me

Lol, well mine was about right when I took the photo - just took me a while to upload and post it.
Nah it's not too tight, it's actually pretty loose most of the time. If I lose any weight i'll have to have a link taken out!

My watch has a daisy on it - and it's very pretty! 
If you have the money and want to buy the watch - why is it any business of anyone else's? Your money - your watch!
I only have a problem with such things when people are judged by what they wear - clothes and jewellery are just stuff, they don't really mean anything at all - it's when people start taking all a bit too seriously that the trouble starts.
I hope you and your watch will be very happy together!
(Blonde confessional - I saw the title of this thread yesterday but hadn't read it. I thought you'd bought a new car, until I walked past a jewellers in town and saw the Breitling sign in the window!
