Hey, there’s no rules! I think it’s about discovering what you like and what you enjoy wearing. If a watch is too small/fragile/formal for your personal preferences you’ll just end up not wearing it. I like smaller watches (by modern standards) but a really trad 34mm snap-back gold dress watch just isn’t my bag.
I have a 37mm Grand Seiko that is in many ways an archetypal dress watch - time only, hand wound, no lume - but I’ve been told by a few people it’s “too big” or “too thick” for them. And it is bigger than a vintage watch would be, but that suits me fine. It’s way more robust than a vintage watch and it wears great.
And you can dress it down on a suede strap or whatever if that’s your bag. Or wear a 42mm Tissot. No rules.

OK, so the Max Bill Junghaus you recommended above would actually bring me closer to having a fully rounded watch collection. Although I appreciate that as a Bauhaus artist, Max Bill probably didn't care much about such categories.
