| My horological guru Jim Skelton (Praise His Name and Offspring) was once again Delivering The TRUTH on TV last night saying 50mm watches are perfect for women. I am a Lowly Sinner because I can not embrace The Truth of this. Obviously, there is something wrong with me because we all know The Skelton (Praise His Name and Offspring) never misspeaks and you can't lie on TV. He also said 40mm watches were the new base size for women but many men still wore 40 mm watches, but it was becoming more and more uncommon. What do you think about 50mm watches for women? |

| I have a couple 50mm watches and like them. But will probably NEVER buy another. As for 50mm watches on women? NFW....and that ain't referrin to the quality watches George Fox puts out. And yes, I have a couple of 40mm watches and love them. So I guess me and the Kool-Aid King just don't see eye to eye ....WTF is up widdat??? |

| After receiving ( and prior to returning) the Invicta SAIII, I thought I could wear a 50mm. I know know that I can, but it did look somewhat ridiculous. I have a Croton Super C that's about 47-48, and does not have the huge crown and guard, and it looks fine to me. I gave my 18 year old daughter an older 36mm ESQ Paragon tt chrono (a gorgeous watch) and she really likes wearing it, although I don't think she could even wear 40mm. |

| Kristie has a few 50mm watches...and personally I think they look quite good on her...but so do her 30mm watches. Hell, I think anything and everything looks great on her!!! As for JS...hell, he just says whatever the Lalo commands of him...he would not risk Uncle Eyal pulling the forum funding. Anyways...one of Kristie's 50mm on her wrist. |

| 50mm.....not so much for women. I have sold all of my SAIII. I really liked them but just weren't comfortable to wear all day for me. I still have a couple of Russian Divers but honestly when I put them on, I might as well put on the bozo shoes to match. They just look clownish on my pathetic little wrist.
I think 40mm watches look good on women though. |

| If a woman likes larger watches, great. If she does not, also great.
My wife's largest watch is about 44mm (I believe). She would not wear a 50mm watch, buy I know other women who would and do. | |

| I would say that women shouldn't wear a 50mm watch, especially Invictas, they are just to tall. I have a few Sub Aquas left and will keep them but they are in reality to tall for me and I think most people seeing it on me think that I'm blind. |

| Agree Mr. TV, if a woman likes them that's all that matters. Question is: Do they look great on gals as suggested by Jim Skelton (Praise His Name and Offspring). |

| 50mm is silly unless you have big giant wrists or you are a lumberjack and can fell tress with your bare hands.
Otherwise 50mm is for a tool who thinks he looks tough because he wears a big watch.
For women. Anything goes with women's fashion. | |

| my opinion a 50mm watch is too large for a women. My wife did tell me the other day she likes the way the rolex sub looks on her wrist. So 40mm I think looks great on a womens wrist. So i guess she is hinting she wants a rolie...lol..I was shocked that she actually said she liked something to do with a watch...lol....She tried on her fathers Rolie and loved it... | |

Mrs. B likes the way my Rolex Sub (a gift from her) looks on HER wrist... and wears it more than I do. She also wears my other 40-42 mm watches. They look fine. But an Invicta Akula would look silly on her or me - with apologies to Jim Skelton (Praise His Name and Offspring). |

| Sorry for your loss, Mr. JackPrime.
But as Mr. Skelton (Praise His Name and Offspring) repeatedly points out on His Hour of Power, watches are not an investment. Renato seems to be the exception to this rule since Daniel "The Mink" Minkowitz has repeated said he sells his watch right off his wrist in celebrity-studded South Florida enclaves. Daniel "The Mink" Minkowitiz and Mr. Skelton (Praise His Name and Offspring) have both testified on air that Renato watches are very collectible and sold for more on eBay than on ShopNBC. I'm sure you know you can't lie on TV! |

| Since this question is more technical in nature, I would have to defer to the Tech Adviser on this one. Maybe he explain the difference of Swiss Gold versus Gold to me on the same call. |

Otherwise 50mm is for a tool who thinks he looks tough because he wears a big watch. I wear 50's on occasion...I can't fell trees with my bare hands, but I can hammer a six-inch spike through a board with my penis. |
