: I got so used to the full size SMP, I had to

I completely understand what you are saying. I thought my first Omega (my Bond SMP) was too big for my 6 3/4" wrists until I wore it for a few days. Then I got used to it and bought more watches of this size. I, too, don't buy anything larger than 42mm.
