Sort of. I've been living in 42-43mm for a while now, really (B-1 and Speedmaster get the most wrist time). My only watch over 44mm (that isn't on the chopping block) is the Pan Europ. Of course, as we all know by now, case diameter isn't the whole story when it comes to how it wears, but I tend to go for "moderately big" these days. Some people would still call them big--my daily wearer is my 43mm B-1, which M. thinks of as a large watch, but to me it's about right. I try not to go below 42mm (but there are some 40mm I like and I'm not about to get rid of my Flight Timer). I also try not to go above 44mm. I mean, my Pan Europ wears a lot smaller (and more comfortably) than my 45mm Shark Diver did, and my 42mm Shark Diver wears larger than my 42mm Speedmaster of the B-1, for that matter. And my Monaco, at 38mm, defies convention by being square and wearing like 42mm.
Still, there are some that I would only buy big. Dive watches, for example. I'd prefer a diver in 44-45, chronographs in 42-44mm, and dressier sport watches in 41-42. It's a small range, I know, but I think I've experimented enough to know what fits me and what I like. I couldn't see myself getting a 42mm PO over the 45mm, and all other things equal, I'd take a DeepSea over a Submariner every time. But, I'd take a 41mm AT or 42mm DeVille Hour Vision over the old 49.2mm AT XXL.
I have found that some people just like to hear themselves typing.
