Oh come on, what stupendously insecure BS is that? Wear whatever the hell you want. You are an ultimate fool and weakling if you let the fear of other people’s opinions determine your legit personal choices.
In the 1930s through 1970s, or maybe even the early 1990s, 30-34 mm was absolutely normal for any man, certainly for vintage (inspired) pieces like the ones in your post. The ridiculous hyper-focus on large watches (and worse: those as a sign of manlihood: ??) is over its peak, and eg 36mm is coming into style again.
My guess is that the risk of you with your 6” wrist looking ridiculous wearing a 42 or 44 mm watch is way higher than these things looking effeminate on you.
Man up, wear whatever you want!
