Hello, I currently own a Geneve 135.041 and have been eyeing the Constellation 168.027 for a bit.
I've never seen a Constellation in person but I'm very curious how different the case sizings are between these two.

Anyone who has or had both if you could help regarding the size that would be amazing.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I was hoping the constellation to be a tad smaller but I guess it is a bit larger.

The case profile is different on the Connie. More curved and less chunky than on the 041 Geneve. They are quite different in hand.

Would you say the Connie wears smaller despite its size?

Yes I suppose I would, but neither feels massive on the wrist. I always felt that the 041 was a little scaled down and would have suited a 37mm size better maybe.

Might be a stretch but if anyone owns both, would love to see a side by side shot if possible.

Updating this thread.
Owning both now, the Geneve wears a bit bigger than the Constellation.
I think it's because of the proportion of the watch and also how the case of the Geneve feels more flat with less curves.
Having small wrists, I prefer the Constellation.

Ahaha
I'll do the same guys. Time to "stuck" 135.041 and make the desire of the constellation such as to favour the desire. Unfortunately we will never have a comparison photo on the same wrist

Though less desirable I personally prefer the Geneve case as a little more subtly C shaped if you follow

If you’re keen on a 'more subtle' c shape, don’t exclude the 8213 Longines 😀

Thanks buddy. I have owned one some time ago and yes it was great. Can’t remember why I sold it

Seeing those side-by-side makes it look like the Constellation only has a 1 star rating whereas the Longines has a 5 star rating.
