lol.. sorry m8 ... yeah the moonwatch is a big watch.. I can wear it thanx to 8" wrists but I think bulova would have been way better off making it a 42mm watch.. they probably would have sold 2~3X times as many of them?

They were probably trying to be true to the size of the watch that Dave Scott wore on Apollo 15. So no, I don't think the smaller size would have broadened the appeal, since the appeal is primarily about the connection with the moon.

I'm pretty certain that the original was smaller - can't seem to verify that at the moment though so who knows.

You're right, the original was probably about 43.5mm in diameter. The difference in size was presumably to achieve the same dial proportions with a different movement.

hopefully bulova can be convinced to make a smaller equivalent movement to allow for some 42~mm chronos

I suspect that's a low priority for them.
