I'm wondering what 50's/60's models have 36mm cases? My wrist is too large for a 34mm and that seems to be the most common size from this period.

 

A bunch of the 30mm caliber have references that at 36mm. Here is my 2937 at 36mm.

 

A 2990-1 or 2996 Ranchero or Seamaster is 36mm I believe.

 

That's gorgeous. Exactly what I'm looking for!

 

There were a few Constellations from the 60's that were 36mm. 168.004 and 168.010 might be the reference numbers.

 

A couple of 37mm suggestions:
168.001
14777
135.027
136.027
165.027
166.027
166.062

 

the 37mm Constellation's are very good size.....

 

166.032 or 168.028 Seamasters are both a comparatively massive 37.5mm. Pretty big for a '60s piece. Mine, recently acquired:

 

168.004 Connie ("hidden crown") is large size at around 35.5mm

 

What do you call this dial? Scalloped? Interesting pattern.

 

Some great information. Thank you!

 

I've got a Geneve with rose gold markers that is 35.5...nice size.

 

I have seen it called a ribbon dial....

 

What was the largest 50's automatic

 

2505 & 2609 = 38mm

 

39 mm ref 2544

 

There was a 40mm case ref 2808.

 

Are these watches harder to find?
