I think it is too thick for a "dressy" watch and it looked that way when I tried one on. Fine for a chrono or diver or pilot but not something that is dressy. IMO.
Same reason I sold my Perpetual it was too thick for a dressy watch. It is pretty much a problem with most new affordable dress/ dressy watches. The automatic movement makes them too thick and they end up with these big slab sides.

I like thick watches. My upper limit is probably around 16mm.

I have a couple over 14, but always try to keep it 12 or less.

Say what you want, but Rolex seems to have the case size to thickness thing nail with the exception of the DSSD. The Sub has a balance that most others can't seem to match.

Tell everyone you saw it on IWL!

For me it also depends the style of watch. I don't mind the 2500 PO at 14.mm thick but if it wasn't a diver I'd wonder what on earth is going on in there.

Never measured any watch thickness but prefer if a watch slips under a shirt sleeve. I like toolish watches, but as with all tools, they have to be practical.
