To balance it visually it would need to be 42mm+ and that's big for a dress watch.

The Seiko is 13mm thick lol, but I wouldn't wear that one as a "dress" watch.
I don't mind 13mm that much, because I see lots of even thicker looking watches around. Chunky divers, modern looking things with a fat knurled bezel, all make the Seiko look graceful and light by comparison :P
