If you want large, thick, and heavy watch - you're gonna love this one. I personally, don't have big hands, but I love the feel, and looks of it. Received lots of compliments about this watch too.
Accidentally it got hit couple of times by the door knob, and metal shelves... not a scratch! Been swimming in the ocean with it for 8 days (vacation). At first, I've had my concerns about the leather strap, but it is perfectly fine, and no mark left on it.
One thing I've wanted to warn you about, is that most (if not all) long sleeve shorts will not wrap around this one. I've tried shorts with button's and cuff-links with the same result. The watch is too thick for long sleeves. Other then that, would definitely recommend it.
Hope it helps.
