I would "hold off" buying your AT, at least for a few months until you see the red gold hand and blue hand models that are just now coming out. I recently saw the gold handed, auto, 38mm, on leather strap at a local retailer in Central Florida.

It's very nice and has a new dial color. It is nearly white, but has a mild "frosted" or "diamond dust" look, but without the "grain" of the current blue or silver dial.

The red gold hands had too feminine of a look to me..I'm eager to see a blue handed one.

I have come to the conclusion that the 41mm is too big, even for me at 6'6" (198 cm) and 220 lbs (100kg). Ask yourself, "Will this big watch feel right even years from now?" For me, I like to keep nice stuff a long time, so for me the answer to the "41mm" question is "no".

Opinion only......
