Hunka-Chunka Mühle M29, one of the more problematic watches in "the Project". I love the dial, and by simple measurement it's not huge (42mm x 11mm) but it looks and feels much larger than that. I need to wear it a bit more to figure out if I'll sell it.

Thin bezel + longish lugs = wears larger than its nominal size.

If finding fault might help…
The lugs are a bit prominent and the position of the date window might be a little uncomfortable compared with the meticulous placement of everything else. It could be a little smaller, but then they did make it that size on purpose, rather than just following big watch trends.
As I said before, I did fancy it myself when it was current. I tried one on and it was just a bit too big.

Any fault-finding is much appreciated, in my effort to muster the will to trouble myself with sales posts on the other place... The dial is exquisite. It reminds me of precise medical devices from the 1950s. (My grandfather was a doctor, so that's a warm association.) The case suffers a similar problem as the Tudor dive watches - straight walls serve only to amplify the visual thickness, and sharply machined angles lend a visual chunky quality. (It's actually about the same thickness as a Rolex Sub, which manages to hide all the girth in its smooth curves.) This hobby continues to to teach lessons in design language, for which I am grateful.
