Was my GSAR beater but that’s long sold. The MSAR, also long sold, was my next beater.
Now it is either the Casio or Victorinox as a beater. Neither is small, neither is going under a cuff.
Today is the Victorinox

Re: You know you’re wearing it...
The candidate in my box for this topic would be this wobbler from Fortis. It is exactly what I was expecting, a big, chunky tool, so that's OK. I love the molded leather strap, and the heavy duty screws holding it in place. No springbars here. Please excuse the old photos.
Time and money? I’ve spent most of mine on booze and women. The rest I just wasted…

Re: You know you’re wearing it...
Like Richard, I *think* I’ve moved on most of the bigger watches I’ve owned, although I’d have to double check to be sure.
This behemoth though, at 47mm, was the biggest I’ve owned (along with the orange dialled variant). Due to a very well designed case shape and semi-integrated bracelet, the Sawtooth wore much smaller than its size indicated - the L2L was actually 1/2mm less than its case width and everything curved down around your wrist,which made it wear very nicely indeed.
Visually though... well it was still a big bugger, but not in a sticky-out, in-your-face way - it would actually fit under cuffs (not that I wear them these days). Oh, it weighed a bit too...

Lovely watch, which I wore on holidays for a couple of years. However, last time I went away (in the dim and distant past, Christmas 2019) the crown made a mess of the back of my hand so I sold it
I still have 42 mm watches in the Speedy and the C70s, but they don’t wear as big, nor are they as tall or as heavy.
