Sometimes the knife actually sticks in place. The third show sells oversized watches.Their non verbal spiel--- anyone care to guess?

no clue.

Nixon makes some good watches but they are a very "new style" and less "classic". They're of great quality and are mainly a surf brand. If you want a bigger watch of their's then check out the 51-30 PU it's not a ceramic and is only 320$ but you get the BIG watch with a white face and white band. nixnow.com

Unless you are a very successful drug dealer, a white Chanel watch should be left to the women.

At 41mm it is ever so slightly bigger than both my Speedmaster and Sea-Dweller, and I wouldn't call these two ladies' watches. My guess is you thought it was a lady's watch because you were probably looking at a ladies' version (admittedly, the line started as ladies' and there are more ladies' versions than men's).

Actually, I think it looks like a ladies' watch because it's white ceramic and says "Chanel" across the front. It's not a particularly masculine style, regardless of the size (remember, a lot of women are buying really big watches these days, Rolexes, Panerais, etc).

I have a Glycine KMU 48, as in 48mm case that is wearable in casual settings but doesnt get much wrist time bc its so huge. I'd say my hamilton jazzmaster maestro at 45mm is as big as I can comfortably go.
Case size aside however, the watch posted by the OP is hideous.

With the exception of the dial, men should not wear white watches. I would have thought this to be quite obvious.

Things often change though. One of the best examples I can give was white shoes. In early 90's, very few men dared to wear them, as the new millennium approached, the more acceptable it was.

Looks like the majority of posters have advised against it.

Do you get some gold teeth with that watch? How about an oversized sideways baseball hat? Any watch featured on a site using vernacular of "peeps" is low class. Just a ripoff, as most watches are. This is an Ed Hardy/ghetto/Guido watch made for suckers to part them of their cash. $2000. I am laughing. I guess it depends on the circles you run in, and who you're trying to impress. You don't walk into a hedge fund dressed like Flava-Flav.
