Dear OF,

I know this is has been debated many times, so feel free to skip past this thread, but for those interested I am currently having the same debate with myself as others have had before.

Over the last months I have been researching AT's & today I went and tried on a few both the 38.5 & 41.5 (Vertical lines). This was a worthwhile trip as now I am even more in love with the blue dial as I was before but I left a little confused on sizing.

I was convinced that on my 6.75" (apparently flat) wrist the 38.5 would be the perfect size and the 41.5 would swamp my wrist and look huge, but this didn't seem to be the case, or at least to my eyes, my partners and the shop assistant's. The 38.5mm didn't seem to sit right, albeit on a strap, not a bracelet but it wouldn't seem to sit flat on my wrist.

So now I am thinking that the 41.5mm is the better fit for me, curious if anyone else has experienced the same? Usually I read people are downsizing their AT's.

Some pic's attached, any though't appreciated! My weird finger point in the pic with the white AT is because the bracelet is too big 馃榿

I think they both look good, but if you like the way one fits over the other, go with that one.
That being said I have a 41.5mm and love it. It wears great on the bracelet and a strap. For reference, it wears almost the same as my speedy, just a little heavier.

@MtnMarine thanks for the reply, I have managed to find somewhere with the 231.10.42.21.03.003 so I will go try that on and see how the blue dial looks in the 41.5mm. The hunt draws closer!

Do you know the difference in the lug to lug if there is one? It looks like the 41mm might be shorter but maybe it鈥檚 just a bracelet thing

@Walrus that's a good point I'll ask on Friday when I go and see the 41.5mm. I hadn't thought of that as a potential difference. Thanks.

Blue Dial AT = 38.5
White dial = 41.5mm


The blue looks perfect but either will work just fine馃憤
