It does take some time to adjust or feel comfortable with a Monaco. But to be honest and I agree, that the 39mm doesn’t really feel to big to wear especially that most modern watches today, on the average, have a size around 41/42 mm.

Two things I realized. First, the Monaco has been a favorite watch prop among TV, Movie, Media people. You can probably surmise that in this thread
😉 (
Click Me) It all started from a movie were the characters were “driving in circles” Secondly, among my modest & humble collection, the Monaco is the most commented
& praised watch that I have worn (from WIS & non-WIS alike) It is quite unmistakable when you see a Monaco, which has always been the trademark square case
😀 Not everyone will want to wear a square watch, but at times, you wear a Monaco “to stand out” or to be seen
😉 It’s a bold statement saying “Hey, I’m wearing a square watch & I’m a car guy”
😜
It is the only iconic square chronograph that I can think of. The Cartier Santos also comes to mind but it’s a 3-hand, and it’s trademark design are the black roman numeral hour markers on white dial plus usually precious metal. All the others are mostly “rectangle” and not really square
