Reading my posts about my trend to get away from oversized clown watches, Doug Rennie writes:
There's an interesting (with a lot of photos) 6 pages on the latest in men's watches in the November issue of Esquire. You might want to pass this on to the Manly Watch crew. Looks as if your personal epiphany to go down a notch or two in case size preceded the new cutting edge template for wrist fashionistas. Or so says Esquire.

A couple watch notes: Regarding automatic movements, this is a good link: http://www.orientalwatchsite.com/how-to-start-a-stopped-automatic-watch-movement/
I recently purchased a new Tauchmeister (photos and brief review coming to Herculodge soon). It's my first fully automatic. I have an Aeromatic self winder, but that one can also be wound by hand after it stops. This new Tauchmeister----must be worn to stay wound. If it stops, it must be reset, "wound" by motion and worn to get back in a groove. My preliminary thought is that it is too much trouble, too complicated. I don't regret the purchase because I love the watch----but they make similar ones with a quartz movement and though it's okay to have one like this, I don't think I'll want more. Other note----on watch sizes: I didn't go "all in" on the mammoth oversized cases. I have one that is over 50MM (I think 52, another Tauchmeister). Others are in the 43-47 range. And I still have many of my older watches in the collection-----with traditionally smaller cases. I enjoy wearing those too. Like neckties, this watch size saga might go back and forth a few times.

But we all knew this, Herc, which is why we read your cutting edge site ;).
