I respectfully disagree! But I get your point 100%. Proportions are key, more than just the diameter. I tried on a blue 36mm OP, and found the proportions very well balanced. Have a great weekend.

Great, great point! I totally agree. Servicing cost is so often overlooked. I only have 2-3 watches in my usual rotation, and they will normally all need servicing at different times (hopefully). Also I read/heard somewhere, at some point, that if you can't buy it twice, you can't afford it. I kind of like that approach, even though it's quite oversimplified. Thanks for the input!

Stunning! 
 

Those are amazing. I just don’t see myself paying 1.5x the retail price. Not a question of value or whatever, I just can’t comfortably afford it right now. I saw one going at 10k here in Montreal.

What a beauty! That light dial gives it presence as well.

The fact that this watch has a ''full-sized'' bracelet, starting at 20mm, is a real positive for me. My wrist are slighlt larger, at 7 inches on the dot, and I think it might wear similar on me.

I agree that in the end, nobody cares haha And both are great. 

May I ask your wrist size?
 

My wrist is 7 inches (18cm) on the nose, and although I’m 6ft tall, I’m not very “bulky”. So again, I think I could pull of either.

Thanks for your answer!
