John F. Kennedy Personal Watch 22mm
JFK Personal Bulova Auction Example
How it wears
Wears larger than its 22 mm case suggests
Bulova John F. Kennedy Personal Watch 22mm measures 36 mm lug-to-lug on a 22 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.64 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 96% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 89% of the 9 Bulova watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 40 mm (1.57 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 48 mm (1.89 in) it starts to look compact. Below 36 mm (1.42 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
